In October, Lana Del Rey did a "Woman of the Year" photoshoot with GQ Magazine. She looked beautiful in all of her photos but, it was a little disturbing that in the picture below, the man is dressed well, in a suit, while she is positioned the way she is. This picture gives off a very strong feeling of power, and male dominance. The manner and location his hands are positioned, are very aggressive and it's a bit overwhelming. Lana could have easily been just as beautiful without being objectified had they put her in more clothes, as in the rest of the pictures she is wearing little to no clothes.
The media's idea of what a "Woman of the Year" should be is questionable, if what you're wearing is just enough to cover your private parts. Especially since all of the GQ "Men of the Year" were fully clothed in suits in their magazine covers while Lana Del Rey was bare naked.
