Toggling between a fashion and beauty piece, the photoshoot showcases the latest [Haute Couture and jewelry collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaumets-holiday-2025) from [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-2024-campaign) alongside stunning [hair and makeup looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-express) courtesy of Seb Bascle and Hiromi Ueda, respectively. The bright red lips paired with a slicked back ponytail beautifully complement the ladylike looks in the Tar Magazine 'Onirique' editorial. Styled by Karen Langley, model Laetitia Casta is a vision in opulent chokers and full-skirted gowns. The French beauty posed in front of Kiev-born and Brooklyn-based photographer Yelena Yemchuk's lens for the fall and winter 2012 issue of the publication. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Subtle Avant-garde Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate subtly avant-garde elements into their Haute Couture and jewelry collections. - **Surrealistic Beauty Looks:** Beauty brands can create makeup and hairstyling looks with a surrealistic twist for the holiday season. - **Luxe Ladylike Photography:** There is a trend towards creating opulent and feminine fashion photography for publications. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** There is a demand for fashion brands to incorporate avant-garde elements into their Haute Couture and jewelry collections. - **Beauty:** There is a market for beauty brands to create surrealistic makeup and hairstyling looks for the holiday season. - **Publishing:** There is a trend towards creating opulent and feminine fashion photography for publications, presenting opportunities for photographers, stylists, and models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [High-End Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md)
