neo-gyaru; young woman following a flashy foreign-influenced style
Refers to a modern iteration of the gyaru subculture, characterized by bold, often Western-inspired fashion that is considered gaudy or over-the-top. The term is niche and may not be widely recognized outside fashion or subculture contexts.

Neo-gyaru are known for their flashy foreign-style fashion.
I read a feature on neo-gyaru in a magazine.
Variant with interpunct; less common but seen in some sources.
From English 'neo-' + 'gyaru' (ギャル), itself from English 'gal'. The exact origin of the term is uncertain; it likely emerged in Japanese fashion media to describe a revival or evolution of the gyaru style.
