In 2023, there was a notable trend of increased representation of women in the music industry. Female artists such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Raye had the biggest chart success since 1952. This progress in representation is considered positive and long overdue, although there are still ongoing problems such as sexual harassment and abuse, unequal pay, and discrimination. Additionally, several social media celebrities made headlines in 2023, including a beer-drinking transgender influencer and a red-bearded musician who went viral on TikTok. Meanwhile, Pamela Anderson became a pioneer of the 'no make-up' trend, shattering societal beauty norms with her choice to appear without makeup during Paris Fashion Week and the Fashion Awards 2023.
