# Regal Goth Editorials The Rika Magazine Issue 7 Photoshoot Stars an Edgy Jessica Stam By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rika-magazine-issue-7 References: [models](http://models.com/feed/?p=37230) & [rikaint](http://www.rikaint.com/) Model Jessica Stam gets an edgy makeover for the Rika Magazine Issue 7 editorial. Embracing a regal [Gothic look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-capsule), she could very well be the queen of the underworld or a dark fairy princess. Although there are some light and even vibrant fashion pieces thrown into the mix, the black backdrop, [berry lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romnd-black-lip) and moody eyes darken the editorial in a way that they just can't compete. The Rika Magazine Issue 7 editorial was shot by American photographer Chadwick Tyler, who is known for his evocative signature style. Stylist Sarah Cobb concentrated on putting together a wardrobe filled with rich colors and [offbeat pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by). The Canadian beauty dons the sparkling pants, bubble vests and equestrian hats without batting an eye. Full of coy attitude, the glamorous looks were finished with red-tipped hair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Regal Goth Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to embrace a regal gothic aesthetic with rich colors and offbeat pairings. - **Moody Editorial Photography:** Chance for photographers to adopt an evocative signature style, capturing dark and atmospheric images. - **Dark Fairy Princess Makeup:** Potential for makeup brands to create products and tutorials for achieving dark, moody eyes and berry lips. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore regal goth aesthetics and incorporate rich colors and offbeat pairings in their collections. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with an evocative signature style, capturing moody and atmospheric images. - **Makeup:** Makeup brands can tap into the trend by creating products and tutorials for achieving dark, moody eyes and berry lips. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gothic Style Perforated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Brand Staple-Highlighting Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rathbonenewman.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Gothic Footwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-capsule.md) - [Model Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowerbomb.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Dark Collab Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection.md)
