The pop diva is usually dressed in wacky, barely-there fashions and dons crazy hairdos with [big shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1) -- sometimes you actually wonder what she would looks sans the oddities. Porter Magazine, a subsidiary of Net-A-Porter.com, will give you a glimpse in its upcoming issue. The publication has stripped away Gaga's usual getup and features her in a rare, but pure state. The editorial entitled 'Gaga -- The Lady' features her sitting on a stool, donning a floor-length, geisha-like robe and rocking a fringe-full hairdo of one (yes, one) solid color. She also has [little to zero makeup on](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), but confidently gazes into the camera's lens. This is only the second issue of Porter Magazine and it has already set the standards high for cover models: first Gisele Bundchen and now Lady Gaga -- I wonder who's next? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Subdued Celebrity Editorials:** There is an opportunity for magazines to feature more celebrities in rare but pure states to attract more readers. - **Minimalist Fashion and Makeup:** Companies can explore minimalist fashion and makeup styles to cater to those looking for simplicity in a world where everything is over the top. - **High-end Fashion Subsidiaries:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create high-end fashion subsidiaries to cater to those looking for more exclusive and elite fashion and photography styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Magazine Publishing:** Magazine publishers can benefit from featuring celebrities in surprising, stripped-down editorials. - **Fashion and Beauty:** Companies in the fashion and beauty industries can explore minimalist styles to keep up with the trend featured in the editorial. - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion businesses can consider establishing high-end fashion subsidiaries to cater to the elite demographic looking for exclusive styles and photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Romantic Summer-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich.md) - [Artist-Inspired Game Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-gaga-1.md) - [Pride-Supporting Cosmetic Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sephora-and-haus-labs-by-lady-gaga.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md) - [Retooled Reimagined Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masha-popova.md)
