her music is represented as being sexy and alternative as she put the magazine in black and white connoting mystery and beauty.
representation - beautiful, feminine , confident , stylish
her music is given the connotation of beauty and obvious femininity with the pink top and pink title. The jewellery with the hoops and necklace shows she is feminine and she is wearing darker makeup to contrast to her femininity and show the mysterious chic side of her music.
