# Prettily Sun-Drenched Celeb Editorials The Manhattan Magazine May 2014 Photoshoot Stars Kate Mara By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manhattan-magazine-may-2014 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/kate-mara-stars-manhattan-magazine-talks-fantastic-four-role/) & [modernluxury](http://www.modernluxury.com/manhattan) The Manhattan Magazine May 2014 cover shoot is drenched in sunlight, which is only appropriate now that summer is just around the corner for those living in the Northern Hemisphere. Embracing a wardrobe perfect both for that season and the last few weeks of spring, the editorial showcases its fair share of pastel hues, sheer fabrics and flirty skirts. Starring American actress Kate Mara, the Manhattan Magazine May 2014 cover shoot embraces her newly blonde locks perfectly. Dyed for her latest role in the superhero franchise, 'The Fantastic Four,' she reveals in the accompanying article, "I like things that are rooted in reality and that are dark and not what you expect. And I think that that’s probably what Fantastic Four will be." She was shot by John Russo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sun-drenched Editorials:** There is an opportunity for photography and editorial companies to utilize natural sunlight to create aesthetically pleasing content. - **Pastel Hues Fashion:** Fashion designers can disrupt standard seasonal fashion lines by incorporating pastel hues and sheer fabrics into their collections year-round. - **Blonde Celebrity Endorsement:** Hair care and beauty companies can take advantage of the popularity of blonde hair by partnering with a celebrity, like Kate Mara, who has recently dyed their hair blonde for a film role. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore opportunities to focus on natural light shoots to cater to the trend for sun-drenched editorials. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from incorporating pastel hues and sheer fabrics into their collections year-round. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can capitalize on the popularity of blonde hair by partnering with celebrities who have made this change for a film role or similarly high-profile event. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Iconic Stylish Bag Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendis-summer-2025-campaign.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md)
