Etymology

The term 'showgirl' originated in the early 20th century, primarily in the United States, during a time when theatrical performances were becoming increasingly popular. The concept of the showgirl was greatly influenced by the rise of vaudeville and musical theater, where female performers took center stage, showcasing not only their singing and dancing abilities but also their beauty and charisma. The image of the showgirl was further solidified in the 1920s and 1930s with the advent of extravagant Broadway productions and film musicals. Showgirls often donned elaborate costumes featuring glitter, feathers, and sequins, which became hallmarks of their performances. The culture of the showgirl was also prominently featured in Las Vegas, where the character of the showgirl became iconic in the entertainment scene. Over time, the definition has evolved, but it continues to represent a glamorous and skilled performer in various entertainment contexts.
