# Recreating Magazine Covers Kate Hudson on W Mimics 1994 Harper's Bazaar By Ayman | Published 2008-08-08 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-hudson-2008-w References: [wmagazine](http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2008/09/kate_hudson?printable=true) [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks) actress Kate Hudson is featured on the dramatic cover of the September 2008 issue of W Magazine. Hudson recreates the iconic September 1994 Harper’s Bazaar cover which featured Nadja Auermann photographed by Patrick Demarchelier. The cover resemblance is uncanny, from the dramatic eye make-up and dark lipstick, to the piercing blue eyes and light eyebrows. Hudson is not known for such artistic shoots, so it is a pleasant surprise to see her branching from the typical blonde sweetheart style. Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Hudson is styled by Alex White in Gareth Pugh, Chanel, and Balmain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 27% | 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) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recreating Magazine Covers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging nostalgia and iconic imagery to create engaging and attention-grabbing magazine covers in the digital age. - **Iconic Cover Recreations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering customers the chance to recreate iconic magazine covers with personalized shoots, using advanced technology and visual effects. - **Branching Into Artistic Shoots:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encouraging mainstream personalities to explore unconventional and artistic styles, opening up new possibilities for brand collaborations and creative campaigns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating advanced technologies like AI and virtual reality into fashion photography to create immersive and interactive experiences for audiences. - **Magazine Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embracing digital platforms and interactive features to transform the magazine publishing industry, offering readers dynamic content and personalized experiences. - **Celebrity Brand Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partnering with mainstream celebrities for unique and bold brand collaborations that break the mold of traditional advertising and engage audiences in new ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Dark Musical-Film-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-of-oz.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Powerful Modern Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright.md)
