The infamous posh designer plays model in this stunning November 2012 editorial. Accompanied by the [kaiser of fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-winter-tale) himself, this story is a monochromatic show of Beckham as part of fashion’s aristocracy. Stylist Hortense Manga puts together pieces that showcase the starlet’s iconic style of primly put-together separates that embody a tasteful, sensual allure. Titled ‘La Reine Victoria,’ which is french for ‘Queen Victoria,’ the regal motifs bring the entire spread together with regal sets and a darkly demure energy. Lagerfeld connects with her must to portray her as the glamorous multi-talented dame that she is. The Victoria Beckham for Elle France does the starlet justice with its decadent portrayal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 81% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Monochromatic Fashion:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating sustainable and customizable monochromatic fashion pieces. - **Prim and Sensual Style:** Innovative technologies can be utilized to create sustainable and ethically sourced prim and sensual fashion collections. - **Regal-themed Fashion Editorials:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in creating immersive and interactive regal-themed fashion editorials using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation by integrating smart textiles and sustainable manufacturing processes. - **Photography:** Incorporating drones and AI technology presents a disruptive opportunity in the photography industry to capture unique and innovative shots. - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can leverage augmented reality technology to create interactive and engaging fashion editorials, enhancing the reader's experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.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) - [Inaugural Designer-Led Ready-To-Wear Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-victorias-secret.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Elegant Metallic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breitling-chronomat-automatic-36.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Limited Edition Micellar Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioderma.md) - [Pre-Fall Romantic Luxe Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-a-love-affair.md)
