Having risen to superstardom because of her role in the popular [medieval fantasy series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-house-of-dragon) Game of Thrones (among a whole lot of other period roles she's been playing recently), Natalie Dormer leaves the “elegant, long, flowing and gentrified skirts” behind and almost rips it all off for the GQ US April 2014 issue shoot. Taking on a modern, glam and sexy look, the British actress poses for photographer Will Davidson for the men’s magazine editorial. “I love going out of my comfort zone—I live to go out of my comfort zone,” says Dormer in the sultry GQ shoot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Sultry Celeb Editorials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Using edgy and provocative photoshoots to attract a younger audience and challenge traditional beauty standards. - **Game of Thrones Influence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalizing on the popularity of Game of Thrones and leveraging the star power of its actors to promote fashion and lifestyle brands. - **Modern Glam Looks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative fashion and beauty products that help consumers achieve a modern, glamorous aesthetic. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Using new techniques and styles to create visually stunning and attention-grabbing editorials. - **Entertainment Publications:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with popular TV shows and movies to create exclusive content and increase reader engagement. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating products and marketing campaigns that appeal to customers looking for edgy and modern beauty looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Cocktail-Celebrating Liqueur Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stgermain-campaign.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md)
