# Blasphemous Beauty Editorials This Editorial Starring Lily McMenamy Incorporates Religious Symbols By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-12-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-mcmenamy References: [fashioncow](http://fashioncow.com/2013/12/lily-mcmenamy-marcin-tyszka-viva-moda-winter-2013/) & [viva-moda.pl](http://www.viva-moda.pl/) This sacrilegious fashion editorial stars striking model Lily McMenamy. Photographer Marcin Tyszka created this blasphemous series, which incorporates religious symbols into slinky, revealing outfits. The apparel featured in this risqué series is all black and white, making these looks seem extra edgy. McMenamy wears silver cross necklaces and carries around rosary beads in these shots. In one photo a cross appears to be floating in front of her face. In another capture she sports a short black outfit, which looks like a heavy embellished jacket. This jacket also features little golden crosses near the collar. These shots blend [sinfully sensual couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) with religious symbols, which makes these beauty shots seem extremely blasphemous. This tempting editorial makes religion look better than ever before, but in a rebellious way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Sacrilegious Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate religious symbols into edgy and provocative designs. - **Sinful Couture:** Emerging trend of blending sensual and alluring fashion with religious imagery for a provocative and rebellious aesthetic. - **Rebellious Beauty:** Increasing demand for beauty editorials that challenge traditional religious norms and redefine beauty standards. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore new avenues by creating clothing and accessories that combine religious symbols with edgy designs. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with using religious symbols in fashion editorials to create controversial and attention-grabbing visuals. - **Beauty:** Beauty brands and editorial platforms can push boundaries by featuring beauty shots that incorporate religious symbols for a rebellious and provocative look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Sin-Inspired Artful Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sinful-feast.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md)
