Natalie Portman’s complimentary makeup was done with [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camlia-futura) cosmetics by Jeanine Lobell who said, “The colour was a fantastic orchid. I wanted to do cool, punk rock, sexy [fairy make-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-essential-sets).” So there you have it, orchid and lavender fairy makeup for spring. It wouldn’t be surprising if Natalie Portman’s entire Oscar ensemble sparks new fashion trends for the Spring/Summer 2009 season. Following the pictures of Natalie Portman at the Oscars, the gallery shows a few feminine pieces from Rodarte’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Just like Portman’s dress, many of these pieces featured a wrap look, but while hers at a whimsical feel, the Rodarte SS 09 collection had much more of a punk edge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Feminine Punk Fusion:** Incorporating the whimsy of wrap dresses with punk rock elements can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry. - **Orchid and Lavender Makeup:** Creating makeup looks inspired by these colors can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the beauty industry. - **Wrap Dress Resurgence:** Bringing back the wrap dress style with modern twists can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Designers can explore creating feminine punk fusion collections, bringing back wrap dresses with a modern twist. - **Beauty:** Creating makeup looks inspired by orchid and lavender tones can be an opportunity for beauty companies to innovate. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the potential trend of wrap dresses and feminine punk fusion styles in their inventory. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Holiday Gown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nana-jacqueline.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Romantic Summer-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md)
