Xu, who was styled and beautified by the talented Lisa Jarvis, Yuko Takahashi and Mako Iijima, is dripping in an [assortment of gems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment). In one shot, Xu dons an eye-patch embellished with dangling religious accouterments. In another, she sports a bedazzled lip stain, and in yet another she rocks a funky, [bejeweled manicure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-bijoux). These glamorous baubles will make you want to embellish your every day look. The shoot, photographed by Michael Creagh, truly captures a shadow vibe, brightened by Xu's opulent accessories. Though I can't imagine how one would rock the pirate eye-patch on the streets, the [sparkly manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection) can easily be translated into your fall wardrobe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 54% | 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Opulent Accessories Trend:** The opulent accessories seen in the Rouge Magazine China Editorial present an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the luxury fashion and jewelry industries. - **Bejeweled Manicure Trend:** The bejeweled manicures worn by Samantha Xu in the editorial offer potential for innovation in the nails and beauty industries. - **Dark Fantasy Vibe Trend:** The dark fantasy vibe captured in the editorial has potential to disrupt the photography and editorial industries by inspiring new creative direction. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Fashion Industry:** The opulence and craftsmanship of the accessories worn in the Rouge Magazine China Editorial present an opportunity to innovate within the luxury fashion industry. - **Jewelry Industry:** The intricate and unique jewelry seen in the editorial offers potential for innovation within the jewelry industry. - **Editorial Photography Industry:** The dark and nebulous photography style captured in the editorial can inspire new directions in the editorial photography industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bedazzled High-End Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-2024-makeup.md) - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Tarnish-Resistant Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-cos-winter-edit.md) - [Stunningly Extravagant High-End Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-express.md) - [Exquisite High Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-film.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [Gilded Retail Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-the-keyhole.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
