The photo shoot, titled *Cinderella Lepore*, was produced by Cosmonaut Phoebus. In one set, Lepore poses in a black and white polka dot Jantzen swimsuit with a [beaded Lanvin necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couleur-vivante) and Michael Kors zip-up sandals. Stylist Diana Suyat pushed hard for range though, so Amanda Lepore was given decidedly more risque styling later in the shoot, wearing items like a band of spikes wrapped around black leather pants. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Transgender Fashion:** The rise of transgender visibility is presenting opportunities for fashion brands to create genderless clothing and highlight inclusivity and diversity. - **Risque Styling:** As consumers become more accepting of diverse representations of beauty, brands have opportunities to push boundaries with provocative and unexpected fashion styling. - **Retro Glamour:** The resurgence of vintage fashion trends is providing opportunities for brands to tap into nostalgia and create fresh interpretations of classic styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has a unique opportunity to champion inclusivity and diversity by featuring more models and designers who represent the LGBTQIA+ community. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can take a more active role in challenging conventional beauty standards and promoting self-expression through makeup and skincare products. - **Media:** As representation of transgender individuals in media becomes more common, brands and media companies can create content that resonates with and celebrates diverse communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Silver Polka Dot Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papergirl-paris-and-beams.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Couture Collector Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney.md) - [Inclusive Lace Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace.md) - [Luxury Jewelry Collection Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couleur-vivante.md) - [Vibrant Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorette-springsummer-collection.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md)
