Deconstruction of an iconic pop star

Blue hair - very bold, grabs the audience's attention as well as showing that she is eager for attention. Also shows that she is quite wacky and maybe a bit crazy, but clearly wants to be different and stand out from other pop stars. Her hair is also long and wavy which perhaps suggests she is quite free and possibly playful.

Slightly open mouth - quite a sexual way to position the mouth. This is perhaps to appeal to men as well as women (who her target audience is mainly made up of).

Make up - suggests she is conscious about the way she looks, or maybe just feels as if she has to be made up to fit into the pop music industry, because this is how female pop stars steretypically look.

Little clothing - perhaps to show off her good figure and obviously for the sexual appeal to men as well. Slightly kooky outfit with all of the swirls on the bra - perhaps shows she just wants to have fun and feel happy in what she is wearing.

Arched back/body positioning - once again for the sexual appeal. Maybe shows she is quite confident because her head is tilted backwards as well.

Cartoon-like - the picture also connotes a cartoon character because the picture is so perfect and flawless (probably through the use of airbrushing) and everything is very colourful and "in-your-face". This cartoon aspect helps to relate to the brightness and cheesiness of the stereotypical pop magazine.
