With her fiery red hair and crimson lipstick, Lydia Hearst has an overall look that portrays [girl power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman) to the max.

**Implications** - Youth consumers are increasingly skeptical of [traditional gender and identity roles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi).
