Bellucci, photographed here by Philippe McClelland, dons ritzy, upscale fashions, including a bejeweled gold crown for the cover shot. In another photo, Bellucci wears a gilded, gem-strewn corset and covers her signature, full-lipped pout with a dramatic red lipstick. Bellucci serves as a muse to Italian design house Dolce and Gabbana. Of her role, Bellucci tells Prestige, “I think that we keep working together today because we are inspired by the same things - even movies and actresses - which come from our culture: the films of Fellini, Rossellini, Visconti, and De Sica, leading ladies like Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren, [...] and this kind of femininity that’s very Italian.” The Italian leading lady, who is arguably as iconic as the names she listed, embraces her curves in feminine, figure-hugging ensembles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Fashion Editorials:** Opportunity for luxury fashion brands to showcase ritzy and upscale fashions in editorial shoots. - **Celebrity Muse Collaborations:** Potential for fashion houses to partner with iconic celebrities to create inspired collections. - **Italian-inspired Femininity:** Market for fashion brands to embrace and promote the feminine and figure-hugging styles influenced by Italian culture. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage luxury editorials to promote their upscale products and create desire. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for collaborations between fashion brands and iconic celebrities to create multimedia campaigns. - **Beauty:** Market for beauty brands to create products and campaigns inspired by iconic Italian femininity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Actor-Endorsed High-End Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpenti-line.md) - [Italian Heritage Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomellatos-collezione-1967.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Heritage-Inspired High-End Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritageinspired-highend-jewelry.md) - [Luxury Jewelry Collection Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couleur-vivante.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
