2. In this image of Taylor Swift, she is wearing costume that reflects and
highlights the fact that she is a feminine, young pop star. We see her
wearing her a teal coloured dress, and high heeled shoes.
The dress is not revealing to much, reflecting her modesty, although it is
quite short which reminds her fans that she is still youthful and
flirtatious. The style of the dress is the same style that young girls would
wear, showing her youth, and relating her to the target audience. The
pattern on the dress is quite fun and playful, reflecting the genre of pop
itself. The dress shows of her figure which would attract the male
audience and would make females aspire to look like her. She is wearing
high heels, as this makes her appear more confident and powerful,
although they are a natural colour so it doesn’t draw to much attention
away from the more important parts of her outfit. These heels are open-
toed, showing that she has a more playful and daring side, instead of
sticking to normal high heels which cover your feet.
She is wearing red lipstick giving connotations of love and romance; this
relates to some of the music she produces. This lipstick also reflects
that, as well as feminine, she can be strong and confident, as red is a
punchy colour. She is smiling at the camera, making eye contact,
showing she is down to earth and friendly, and this would help to attract
the right kind of target audience. Other than her lipstick, her makeup is
fairly natural which relates to the age of the target audience, and links to
her innocence as an artist.
Her hair is straight and natural, with some of the side clipped back; this
suggests that her looks are not the most important thing about her. Her
full fringe suggests her youthfulness and shows her as a more feminine
artist.

3. In this image of One Direction,
they’re wearing costumes that
reflect the fact that they are a young
and fun pop band. All 5 members
are wearing items of black, grey and
red which shows that they are a
band together, but their own
different outfits emphasise that
they are also individuals with
personalities of their own; this
would encourage fans to have their
own personality instead of being
exactly like there friends. Red shows
connotations of energy, passion and
love; all things that being in a boy
bond involves. All of the band are
wearing smart-casual clothes, for
example, Harry is wearing jeans and
a t-shirt reflecting his youth, but
the blazer shows he has a more
serious side, and this suggests that
he is serious about his career. Boys
in pop bands wear clothes that are
in fashion, and that you would see
other boys wearing, showing them
as ‘normal boys’.
All of the band are looking at the camera smiling, showing them as a
down-to-earth band; this will relate to the young target audience
because they see the band as someone they could ‘be friends’ with.
There haircuts are the same style that boys in high school would have,
reminding the audience of their youth and playfulness. Niall, Louis and
Zayn have their hairs spiked up, showing they’re more adventurous,
whereas Liam has his hair short and simple, suggesting he is the shyer
one of the band. Harry has curly hair with it flicked to the side,
showing his youth and playfulness.

4. This image of little mix shows them as a
flirtatious, outgoing band. Perrie is wearing a
see-through vest type top tucked into blue
denim shorts with blue trainers; her chest and
legs are being revealed, showing her a
confident and flirtatious member of Little
Mix. She is also wearing a long kimono,
making her item more fashionable. Jade is
wearing denim shorts with a crop top, also
showing her confidence and flirtatiousness.
Jessy is wearing a leather jacket, denim shorts
and a top with knee high socks and doc
martins with spikes on. This shows her
individuality as a member of the band; she is
more of the ‘rock chic’ member of the band,
and this is evident through her outfit and
makeup. Her chest and legs are also revealed
showing her more sexy side. Because she is
revealing her legs and wearing a tight top, it
also shows her confidence as she was bullied
for being ‘fat’. Leigh-Anne is wearing hooped
earrings and a gold chain; gold is a
connotation of money and success, showing
that Little Mix are successful in the pop
magazine. She is also wearing a crop top and
ripped jeans, showing that she is young, but
also showing her more flirtatious and sexy
side. Although they’re all wearing different
outfits, they all have denim bottoms on, and
are all wearing revealing clothes, showing that
although they have individual styles, they’re a
band and connect as one.
All of Little Mix are wearing fairly natural makeup and this
creates a link between them and their fans. This is the
same with their hair; they all have curled/wavy hair,
showing that they put effort into their appearance, but
don’t go too over the top because there are more important
things about them.
Leigh-Anne also reveals her belly button piercing, showing
her more rebellious side.
