The Christina Hendricks GQ September 2010 cover photo is sultry. The [curvaceous Mad Men TV star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripes-beauty-hotter-than-ever) is on display, showing her luscious body in this housewife-inspired spread.

The red-haired raven is quite the beauty, displaying a [little bra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) and bedroom eyes as she stares intensely at the camera. Intensely hued with an unmatched sexiness, the GQ September 2010 cover with Christina Hendricks definitely makes Desperate Housewives look amateur.

**Implications** - Youth consumers are increasingly skeptical of the [gender and identity roles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman) that have been handed down from their parents. There is no longer a center or ideal for beauty or behavior. Companies need to take this mindset into account when pitching products to this demographic.

## Key Themes

### Why This Trend Is Growing

- **Non-traditional Beauty Standards:** Companies can capitalize on the shift away from traditional beauty standards by promoting more diverse representations of beauty in their marketing campaigns.
- **Gender Fluidity:** As youth consumers become more accepting of non-binary gender identities, companies have the opportunity to re-think and re-design traditionally gendered products and services.
- **Sexual Empowerment:** As images of powerful, confident and autonomous women become more visible in the media, companies can capitalize on the opportunity to create products that empower women in new ways.

### Industries Being Reshaped

- **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from promoting a wider range of sizes and body types, as well as pushing gender-neutral designs.
- **Beauty:** The beauty industry can create inclusive products that cater to people of all genders and skin tones, promoting self-expression and individuality.
- **Media:** The media industry can drive the cultural shift towards non-traditional standards of beauty and gender by pushing for more diverse representation, both on and off-screen.
