The Taylor Momsen Spin Magazine Shoot is Full of Grunge-Filled Edge
Allison Love — August 19, 2010 — Pop Culture
The Taylor Momsen Spin Magazine spread is definitely on the provocative side. The 17-year-old 'Gossip Girl' actress looks quite the grown up in this magazine feature.
Dressed in shredded fishnets and wearing raccoon eye-makeup, her entire look channels her gothic, rock and roll vibe. Momsen has definitely switched up her look from the girlie, sweetheart character on 'Gossip Girl,' bringing her own edgy style to the shoot.
Implications - In a world where female pop culture icons are increasingly similar in look, few A-list celebrities serve as icons for subcultures that are less mainstream and uniform. Celebrities who are expected to represent themselves in a prescribed and predictable manners, but choose to defy these expectations, adopt a face of rebellion. This rebellion offsets new consumer patterns that follow these less conventional styles.
