What Does This Mean?
A selfie taken by pointing the camera at a mirror instead of at one's own face, often to show an outfit or a full-body view. People usually hold a phone in front of the mirror, which makes the phone itself part of the picture.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Her profile is mostly gym mirror selfies and one blurry beach photo.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Wikipedia describes a mirror selfie as a selfie taken with the camera pointed at a mirror, often for a full-body shot, and says mirror self-portraits predate smartphones: around 1900 the portable Kodak Brownie box camera made self-portraiture more widespread, usually with a mirror and the camera steadied on an object or tripod. It also mentions a 1914 photo reportedly taken by the 13-year-old Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, a claim marked as needing a citation. Wikipedia lists a 2021 Guardian piece on the staged "fakery" of mirror selfies. No origin of the phrase itself is documented.
