It's no secret that '[Lolita](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolita-lempicka-mon-premier)' is a pervasive character throughout [popular culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-realgirl) and has been for some time; the 'Little Miss Precious' editorial for Elle's August 2009 issue explores this theme further.

Photographer Ellen von Unwerth captures Kemp Muhl as a young woman who, while still very innocent, has [a definite grasp on her sensuality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity). Set in an expansive household, 'Little Miss Precious' certainly adds a bit of seduction to Elle's August 2009 issue.

**Implications** - Images that are widely considered attractive and appealing to customers are a great way for businesses to garner attention and create a sense of intrigue in shoppers. Consumers are more likely to purchase a product that is fronted by an attractive face.
