Perhaps Beyonce has been to the Self Kiss exhibit by Pupsam that Trend Hunter reported about last year. In addition to self-kissing, Beyonce flaunts her [cyborg fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-and-ella-gross) with her famous titanium glove and [dramatic makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-talk-beauty-soulmates). **Implications** - People are constantly attempting to perfect themselves in order to feel better for themselves. By becoming self-loving, they will be able to achieve a desired confidence. Editorials that showcase this idea appeal to this target, as they illuminate particular celebrities, who have been targeted for being imperfect, being self-loving. Perhaps consumers of the future will be more confident and less swayed by unrealistic images of celebrities and models. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Self-loving Editorials:** Editorials that showcase self-love will become more popular and may help consumers become more confident and less swayed by unrealistic images of celebrities and models. - **Cyborg Fashion:** Fashion that incorporates cyborg elements, such as Beyonce's titanium glove, will become more popular in the coming years. - **Self Kiss Exhibits:** Art exhibits or installations that promote self-love, like the Self Kiss exhibit by Pupsam, will become more popular as people seek to improve their confidence. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore incorporating cyborg elements in their product designs to appeal to consumers interested in self-expression and futuristic styles. - **Art:** Art galleries can create exhibits that promote self-love, possibly partnering with brands or influencers to attract younger audiences interested in self-improvement and personal development. - **Media and Publishing:** Media brands can produce editorials that showcase self-love and body positivity, resonating with consumers seeking authentic representation of diverse body types and self-expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singer-Themed Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flannels-x.md) - [Psychodermatology Lip Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-language-lip-bloss.md) - [Beauty-Branded Film Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-basel-miami-beach.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [Iconic Touring Artist Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonnas-makeup.md) - [Personalized Lip Product Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensual-lip-custom-match.md) - [Beauty Product Exploration Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beautifytips-platform.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Singer-Made Beauty Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gwen-stefanis-ipsy-box.md)
