Trend Insights – Go Western
Before Beyoncé uttered the words “This ain’t Texas” on her newest country single, Pinterest called out Western as a trend to watch for 2024 in their annual guide. Specifically, they pointed to big hair and the western gothic aesthetic, but overall, western and cowboy related search terms are growing on the app this year. Since the Super Bowl, the term cowboy hat increased on Google, with “Beyonce cowboy hat” increasing by over 1,000%.
With the influence of Beyonce and the year-over-year rise of this trend, investing in western wear is a safe bet over other flash-in-the-pan styles. Creating Reels around ‘how to style cowboy boots’ and ‘how to style a cowboy hat’ are two easy ways to interact with this trend.

Oscars Red Carpet - Behind the Screen or Behind the Scenes?
Set your calendar for March 10th.
Behind the Screen: The Oscars red carpet is a great way to engage with your audience in Instagram Stories. Celebrity red carpet looks don’t translate to everyday outfit inspiration, but tonight is the night to indulge in fantasy and fun. Share your favorite ensembles and use interactive polls.
Behind the Scenes: Are you styling a celebrity on the red carpet? Share the behind-the-scenes. Better yet, take b-roll throughout the night from your perspective and cut together a Reel of small moments the average person wouldn’t normally see.
