These shots certainly show Leto in a new light. He sports some flirty makeup, sequin-covered clothing and lovely pink locks. These [gender-bending photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) are fantastic because Leto really does look like a completely different person (or a whole new woman, in this case). Leto poses fiercely in this [funky fashion editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam), embracing his feminine makeover. In one shot, he's seen standing with one arm outstretched behind his head, looking longingly at the viewer. In another shot, Leto runs his fingers through his fake blond locks in a sassy manor that grabs the audience's attention. These fiery photos are proof that Jared Leto is a sex symbol whether he's dressed in drag, or a t-shirt and jeans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gender-bending Celebrities:** Exploring the rise of gender-bending celebrity editorials and the impact on fashion and entertainment industries. - **Feminine Makeovers:** The trend of male celebrities embracing feminine makeovers for fashion editorials and the potential disruption to traditional gender norms. - **Blurring of Gender Boundaries:** The growing acceptance of gender fluidity in mainstream media and its influence on fashion and beauty trends. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunity to create gender-neutral fashion lines that cater to a diverse range of consumers. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive potential for movies, TV shows, and music videos that challenge traditional gender stereotypes and embrace gender-bending narratives. - **Beauty:** Rise of innovative makeup and beauty products that cater to individuals breaking gender norms and seeking diverse expressions of identity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Luxury Menswear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign.md) - [Redefined Masculinity Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Representation-Focused Toy Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laverne-cox-1.md) - [High Fashion Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vera-wang-and-jared-atelier.md)
