# Celestial Monarch Editorials This Lindsay Wixson Editorial is an Ode to Marie Antoinette By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-03-21 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindsay-wixson-editorial References: [wearesodroee](http://wearesodroee.com/2014/03/19/haute-style/) & [harpersbazaar](http://www.harpersbazaar.com/) The latest Lindsay Wixson editorial, photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for Harper Bazaar's April issue, has the model indulging in some 18th-century dress up. Fashion editor Amanda Harlech styled Wixson as a modern-day Antoinette, dressing her in [baroque gowns, voluminous ruffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) and illustrious head pieces. Make-up artist Lloyd Simmonds really channeled the former Queen of France, opting for a snowy-white complexion punctuated with a dramatic, rosy blush. Meanwhile, hair stylist Eammon Hughes provided Wixson with a super-teased, sky high 'do. The [soft, pale lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and props (such as the harp Wixson languidly leans on in one shot), contribute an ethereal quality to the shoot; in fact, it's almost as if Wixson is playing the ghost of the beheaded queen. Either way, her Marie Antoinette impression gives Kirsten Dunst's -- who played her in Sofia Coppola's quasi-historical film -- a run for her money. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **18th-century Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate baroque elements and voluminous ruffles into modern clothing. - **Historical-inspired Editorials:** Potential for photographers and fashion editors to create captivating photo shoots with references to iconic historical figures. - **Ethereal Aesthetic:** Chance for makeup artists and hairstylists to experiment with soft lighting and dreamlike props to create otherworldly looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to blend historical fashion with contemporary styles. - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create visually stunning and conceptually rich editorials with a historical twist. - **Beauty and Hair:** Potential for makeup artists and hairstylists to elevate their artistry by creating ethereal and fantastical looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Majestic High Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-new-high-jewelry-collection.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Fashion Brand Christmas Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-winter-tale.md)
