Development

Initially, Lícia Manzo's ''O País de Alice'' (Alice's Country) had been approved to replace ''Elas por Elas'' in the "six o'clock slot" in April 2024, while Mário Teixeira's '' No Rancho Fundo'' would not premiere until the second half of the year. On 30 August 2023,

canceled Manzo's telenovela and pushed up the premiere of Teixeira's telenovela. As a result of ''No Rancho Fundo'' being fast-tracked, Alessandra Poggi's telenovela, which was scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2025, was pushed up to November 2024, with Grimberg taking over as director following the cancellation of ''O País de Alice''. Initially, the telenovela had the working title ''Tutti Frutti'', which is the same name as a sweet made from citrus fruits and which would refer to the cultural movement of the 1950s, the backdrop of the telenovela, as well as being the title of a famous song, which would later become the opening theme of the telenovela. However, on 6 June 2024, during the screening of the teaser for TV Globo's programming for the second half of the year, it was announced that the new title of the soap opera would be ''A Garota do Momento'', whose name would be inspired by the song ''Girl of the Moment'', which was featured in the Oscar-nominated film '' Lady in the Dark'' (1944). The title also refers to the protagonist of the plot, who will achieve success in the world of fashion and advertising, where at the time, the term "garota do momento" (girl of the moment) carried the same weight as the current term ''
