# Awkwardly Posed Editorials Jennifer Connelly Looks Broken in Balenciaga Spread By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-09-03 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jennifer-connelly-balenciaga References: [nymag](http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/09/balenciaga_campaign.html#) & [balenciaga](http://www.balenciaga.com/) Jennifer Connelly’s [Fall 2009 Balenciaga campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025) is out! But it looks a tad awkward. While Connelly is definitely rocking some [hot ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), the images show her posed in haphazard positions that any normal person wearing Balenciaga probably wouldn’t do. For instance, Jennifer Connelly seems to float half-off of a chair with knees sticking ungainly in the air in one image. A chaise lounge and chair see her in the same position. Another picture shows her on a brocade arm chair with one leg extended and the other crossed over it--flamingo-style. And finally (this one is definitely worthy of note), a [velvet chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) gets pushed back by Jennifer Connelly’s right knee while a mahogany end table gets friendly with her, uh, front side. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Authentic Posing:** Opportunity to break away from awkward poses and opt for authentic and relatable posing in fashion editorials and campaigns - **Dynamic Posing:** Incorporating dynamic and visually striking poses in fashion campaigns and editorials for increased engagement and impact - **Natural Movement:** Trend towards capturing natural movement and fluidity in fashion campaigns and editorials rather than stiff and posed images ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion industry professionals can examine new techniques and styles of posing to generate engaging and authentic visual content - **Photography:** Photographers can explore new techniques and styles of posing to move away from traditional stiff poses and generate visually striking and dynamic images - **Advertising:** Advertisers can experiment with new techniques and styles of posing to generate more relatable and authentic visual content in their campaigns ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Actress-Starring Clog Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcm-x-crocs-campaign.md)
