According to the research of American sociologist T.Veblen, the background of "celebrities" originated from the industrial revolution at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, a group of new rich people without aristocratic blood appeared, and they became rich overnight by investing in financial undertakings. In order to show off their wealth to the world, the wives and daughters of these nouveau riche wear gorgeous clothes to go out to participate in social occasions and enter the upper class. Because they don't have noble titles such as countess and princess, they are collectively called "celebrities".

Nowadays, social butterfly is an elegant title for a woman with status. She often attends some social occasions, so she is called. The relationship with identity or whether it is praised depends on how people look at her and how they evaluate her.
