# Halo Hair Hoods Lelya Martian Photographs Hazy Angelic Portraits By Chalaine Mantha | Published 2011-03-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lelya-martian References: [fashionserved](http://www.fashionserved.com/gallery/-/844283) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/martian) Lelya Martian is a fashion photographer from Moscow, Russia who also specializes in retouching. The featured photoshoot stars model Polina, whose [barely-there makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-glow-powder-filter) was done by Tata Karti. What really makes the images stand out is the [halo-looking headpiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectre-lunaflair) made out of what looks like braided blond hair and polished with golden bulbs and buttons. Polina’s brown hair definitely sets the headpiece apart from her natural hair. Lelya Martian’s gorgeous photoshoot has the perfect lighting to capture an angelic setting. Most of the photos have a golden glow, while three are featured in black and white. Polina is fitted with golden clothing pieces that match her bonnet headpiece. I think that the Lelya Martian photoshoot looks like a [wondrous fairy tale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Halo Hair Hoods:** The use of halo-looking headpieces made of hair and embellished with golden bulbs and buttons creates a unique fashion trend. - **Angelic Portraits:** The capture of angelic settings with perfect lighting in fashion photography presents a trending aesthetic. - **Minimal Makeup:** The barely-there makeup style enhances the ethereal and natural look in fashion photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** The use of innovative headpieces and lighting techniques in fashion photography offers opportunities for creative and captivating storytelling. - **Fashion Accessories:** The trend of halo hair hoods presents an innovative opportunity for fashion accessory designers to create unique and statement pieces. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The minimal makeup trend in angelic portraits provides an opportunity for beauty and cosmetics brands to promote natural and glowing looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Astro-Inspired Sculptural Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara-suspension.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Empathetic Medical Headgear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-device.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md)
