Terry Richardson is known for his provocative and often shocking photoshoots, but this time, he has done the unthinkable and photographed a certain pop star with zero glitter on her face and [minimal makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deglaze-my-makeup-with-me) in the Kesha by Terry Richardson shoot. With her [signature face paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), blue lipstick, and tons of glitter washed off, Kesha sports a clean look in the black-and-white photos.

The Kesha by Terry Richardson photographs showcase Kesha in a new and fresh light. The breakout star looks relaxed and fresh-faced.

Kesha fans don't fret because the singer's trademark [feather in her hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerastase1) is still intact. It seems that underneath the eyeliner, ripped fishnets and messy hair is a blonde bombshell. Here's to hoping that Kesha keeps this look up because she looks great. It appears as though America's party girl has stopped brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack.

## Key Themes

### What's Driving This Trend

- **Deglamification of Celebrities:** This trend suggests a shift towards more authentic and natural representations of public figures, providing opportunities for brands to align with values of transparency and honesty.
- **New Standards of Beauty:** The promotion of minimal makeup and natural features in these photos could represent a growing trend towards redefining traditional beauty standards, potentially providing opportunities for brands to create new products and messaging that cater to this market.
- **Controversial Creatives:** Terry Richardson's history of provocation could represent a disruptive shift in the kind of photographers chosen to capture public figures, potentially leading to new opportunities for photographers who push boundaries.

### Who This Affects Most

- **Beauty:** The natural makeup look presented in the photos could create opportunities for beauty brands to promote their own minimalistic products and champion the natural beauty trend.
- **Fashion:** The less-is-more aesthetic presented in the photos could create opportunities for fashion brands to promote simpler, more understated styles and shift away from the current maximalist trend.
- **Celebrity Marketing:** This trend towards a more authentic representation of public figures could create opportunities for brands to partner with celebrities who align with their values and promote transparency and honesty in their campaigns.
