Gen Z is taking over TikTok with the “siren gaze” trend, where women are claiming a slight up-turn of their lips is what seals the deal with potential partners.
Claiming it sends “subliminal messages” to prospective men, TikToker @secretsofasiren teaches her primed protégés how to master the seductive gaze.
“When you master your siren gaze and now you can make men obsessed with you by just looking at them the right way,” one clip with 4.6 million views reads. “The siren gaze sends subliminal messages to a man that hits sexual pleasure points. He won’t even know why he is so addicted to you.”
The user notes that stars like Alexa Demie, of “Euphoria” fame, and Marilyn Monroe mastered their “siren gaze,” and now, “it’s time for you to tap into your feminine power.”

The siren gaze is meant to lure potential partners by manipulating “sexual pleasure points.” TikTok/@secretsofasirenThe account’s other videos explain the importance of being a siren, and give examples of siren gazes, advising that viewers use the facial expression to get “whatever you want” from men.
“Please use this with caution as it can induce obsession,” another clip advises. “Being a Siren is a lifestyle and seduction is about the energy you exude.”
Alexa Demie, pictured, is championed as the master of the “siren gaze.” TikTok/@secretsofasirenEager TikTokers wanting to learn the siren gaze applauded the trick, with some claiming it works wonders.
“learnt it last year, solid WORKS, been able to pull every SINGLE guy i’ve wanted with just a look (i’m also blown away),” commented one person.
“Gunna do this to Harry styles on Wednesday thanks bestie,” another joked.
“I want to but idk how to,” a user sorrowfully wrote.
“Step 1: have pretty eyes,” someone else chided.
Other examples of mainstream celebrities who use the “siren gaze” include Megan Fox and Marilyn Monroe. TikTok/@secretsofasirenWhile the videos reach thousands of eyes — with some tips amassing several million views — not everyone is sold on the so-called siren gaze the TikToker is touting.
“Women are so pathetic because why are y’all doing so much to get and keep a man? Putting period blood in spaghetti, practicing a ‘siren gaze’, wearing vaginal fluids as perfume??” one critic tweeted. “All for men that don’t wash their asses. Fellow women please STAND UP and stop being pathetic!!”
“Gen Z think they invent everything. Simple smizing is now devil worship. Move man,” slammed another.
While the TikToker claims the seductive look will catch the attention of any man, critics slam the trend for being akin to Tyra Banks’ “smize” from America’s Next Top Model. TikTok/@secretsofasiren“Tiktok girlies just rebranded the Tyra Banks smize to ‘siren gaze’ lol,” wrote someone else.
“Isn’t the siren gaze just “smizing”? It’s the same gaze Tyra Banks would make models do on ANTM,” tweeted another.
