# Glamorously Sun-Soaked Editorials The Fashion Magazine April 2014 Cover Shoot Stars Cobie Smulders By Meghan Young | Published 2014-03-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-magazine-april-2014 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/cobie-smulders-gets-glam-fashion-shoot-chris-nicholls/) & [fashionmagazine](http://www.fashionmagazine.com) The Fashion Magazine April 2014 cover shoot shows a glamorous side of Canadian actress Cobie Smulders, which not many fans would be used to considering her character in 'How I Met Your Mother' is pretty down to earth. This is surprising considering she plays a newscaster. Yet with her [statuesque figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-x-wnba-campaign), which she recently worked on hard for the upcoming 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' movie, she could easily have enjoyed a career as a model. Shot by photographer Chris Nicholls, the Fashion Magazine April 2014 covers shoot was captured outdoors on a sun-soaked day. Titled 'North Star,' the brunette beauty shines in metallic dresses, vibrant prints and golden accessories. She was outfitted by stylist George Antonopoulos, with hair by Davy Newkirk and makeup by Jo Strettell. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Outdoor Editorials:** Outdoor editorials are a disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion and photography industries, bringing natural light and new angles to traditional photo shoots. - **Celebrity Model:** Celebrity models offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fashion industry to showcase recognizable personalities, combining fame and fashion in one package. - **Sun-kissed Look:** Sun-kissed looks are a disruptive innovation opportunity for the beauty industry, emphasizing a natural, effortless aesthetic over heavy makeup and artificial enhancements. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from outdoor editorials and celebrity models for disruptive innovation opportunities that capture natural light and recognizable personalities. - **Photography:** Outdoor editorials offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for the photography industry to create new angles and use natural light for dramatic effect. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can benefit from the sun-kissed look trend for disruptive innovation opportunities that emphasize a natural, effortless aesthetic over heavy makeup and artificial enhancements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Feminine Spring Apparel Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femininity-in-bloom.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Detailed Filmic Fashion Publications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-the-world-tour.md) - [Empowering Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-your-own-time.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Modern Wedding-Inspired Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-shop-campaign.md) - [Influencer-Backed Valentine's Day Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobbi-althoff.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md)
