The Woman In Tuxedo emoji 🤵♀️ shows a woman dressed in a formal tuxedo with a bow tie, used to represent black tie events, weddings, elegant style, and women who wear traditionally masculine formal wear. It is a People & Body emoji added in Emoji 13.0 and supports skin tone modifiers.
What Does the Woman In Tuxedo Emoji Mean?
The Woman In Tuxedo emoji means a woman wearing formalwear, most often at a wedding, gala, or other black tie occasion.
The character depicts a woman in a tuxedo jacket, collared shirt, and bow tie. It was designed as the female counterpart to the long-standing Person in Tuxedo emoji, giving people a way to show women in this style of dress without defaulting to a gown.
Beyond the literal outfit, the emoji carries a few related ideas:
- Formal elegance: polished, sharp, dressed for an occasion.
- Weddings: a bride, bridal party member, or guest who chose a tuxedo.
- Breaking convention: a woman embracing menswear-inspired formal style.
- Confidence: a put-together, authoritative look.
What Are the Technical Details of the Woman In Tuxedo Emoji?
The Woman In Tuxedo emoji is a sequence of four codepoints: U+1F935, U+200D, U+2640, and U+FE0F.
It belongs to the People & Body category and uses the Unicode name WOMAN IN TUXEDO. Both its Unicode version and Emoji version are 13.0. The shortcode is :woman_in_tuxedo:.
Why is it made of several codepoints?
It is a ZWJ (zero width joiner) sequence. The base character U+1F935 is Person in Tuxedo. The joiner U+200D connects it to the female sign U+2640, and U+FE0F asks the system to display the emoji-style version. Together, supporting devices render a single woman in a tuxedo.
Does it support skin tones?
Yes. The emoji supports the five Fitzpatrick skin tone modifiers, so you can pick a tone that matches you or the person you are describing. If your device does not show the tone selector, it may be running an older software version.
How Do You Use the Woman In Tuxedo Emoji?
You use the Woman In Tuxedo emoji whenever you want to signal formal dress, a wedding, or a polished, tailored look on a woman.
It works well in captions, group chats, and event invitations. Here are a few realistic examples:
- Suited up for my sister's wedding 🤵♀️ and yes, the bow tie is staying on all night.
- Black tie dress code confirmed. I'm wearing the tux 🤵♀️
- She walked in and owned the room 🤵♀️✨
Keep the emoji close to the words it supports. A single one after a sentence about an outfit or ceremony reads naturally, while a long string of them can look like clutter.
What Does 🤵♀️ Mean in Texting and on Social Media?
In texting and social media, 🤵♀️ usually means "dressed up," "wedding mode," or "look at this sharp outfit."
On Instagram and TikTok it often appears on outfit photos, prom and graduation pictures, wedding posts, and fashion content. People also use it in bios and captions to express personal style, especially style that plays with traditional gender expectations in formalwear.
Is it used for brides?
It can be. Some brides and brides-to-be choose a tuxedo or suit instead of a dress, and this emoji is a natural fit for those posts. In a same-sex wedding, it is also commonly used to represent a wife who is wearing a tuxedo. Context in the caption usually makes the intent clear.
Is it only for weddings?
No. It also suits galas, award nights, formal dinners, proms, theatre openings, and any occasion with a black tie dress code. It can even be used playfully for someone who is simply dressed more sharply than usual.
How Does the Woman In Tuxedo Emoji Look on Different Platforms?
The emoji appears as a woman in a dark tuxedo with a bow tie on all major platforms, though each vendor draws it in its own style.
Because it was introduced in Emoji 13.0, you need reasonably recent software to see it as a single image. Supported versions from the platform data include:
- Apple: iOS 14.2+ and macOS 11.0+
- Google: Android 11.0+
- Microsoft: Windows 10 May 2021 update and later
- Samsung: One UI 3.1+
- WhatsApp: version 2.21+
- Twitter: Twemoji 13.0+
What happens on older devices?
If a device does not recognize the full sequence, it may show the base Person in Tuxedo character followed by a separate female sign (♀️). The message is still understandable, but it will not look like one unified emoji. Updating your operating system or app usually fixes it.
Which Emojis Pair Well With 🤵♀️?
The best pairings for 🤵♀️ are emojis that reinforce a wedding, celebration, or glamorous formal theme.
- 💍 for engagements and weddings
- 🥂 for toasts and receptions
- 🎩 for classic formal flair
- ✨ for sparkle and polish
- 💐 for bouquets and ceremony scenes
If you are posting about a graduation or a work milestone, you might pair it with an academic or professional emoji instead. For example, the Woman Student emoji or the Woman Health Worker emoji can sit alongside it in a caption about a formal awards night or a dressed-up celebration after a big achievement.
How does it relate to similar emojis?
Several other people-based emojis show professions and roles, such as Health Worker, Student, and Man Student. Unlike those, the tuxedo emoji describes a style of dress rather than a job or role, so it pairs with them rather than competing with them.
When Should You Avoid the Woman In Tuxedo Emoji?
Avoid the Woman In Tuxedo emoji when the message needs a precise, literal meaning that the image could blur.
A few situations call for care:
- Assuming someone's identity: using it to label a person's gender or role can be inaccurate. Use it for outfits and events, not to define people.
- Ambiguous wedding roles: if you mean "groom" or "bride," say so in words. The emoji shows attire, not a specific role.
- Serious or somber messages: a festive formal emoji feels out of place in condolence notes or formal complaints.
- Very formal documents: in official emails or legal communication, skip emojis altogether.
When in doubt, let the words carry the meaning and use the emoji as a light accent.
How Do You Copy and Paste the Woman In Tuxedo Emoji?
You can copy the Woman In Tuxedo emoji with one click on this page and paste it anywhere that supports emoji.
Click the emoji on this page, and it is copied to your clipboard. Then paste it into your message, post, document, or bio with Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac, or by long-pressing in a text field on your phone.
To change the skin tone, choose the tone you want before copying, or select it from your device's emoji keyboard after pasting. If you want to experiment with sentences, the Emoji Translator can turn plain text into emojis, and you can browse more options in the People & Body category or see what is popular on the trending emojis page.
Because the emoji is a multi-part sequence, copy it as one unit and avoid editing it character by character. That keeps all four codepoints together so it displays correctly on supported devices.
