Holding the status of a celebrity in modern society is no simple feat, as a constant presence in the public eye can become quite strenuous on an individual. Living life under a magnifying glass, with every move and decision analyzed to extensive lengths, celebrities must be strategic and aware of how they appear before their audience.

When understanding a celebrity’s image evolution over time, it is beneficial to consider the concept of “star text”. Star text can be defined as the sum of everything that the public affiliates with a celebrity, including their body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience practices (Josh Jackson, “Celebrity”).
