Collage of three photos

A black woman (Samra) stands next to a large screen. The text on the screen reads, "SEX & THE CITY ft LIONESS_EMPRESS"

Claudia, a person with olive skin and curly long hair that is dark at the roots and blonde on the ends is dancing. She is being lit from below and has both arms extended away from her body, her head is tilted to one side. She is wearing a black vest and black sheer trousers. Behind her there is a concrete breeze
block that is out of focus

A femme-presenting person is posing theatrically in front of blurred out pastel coloured beach huts. They are pictured from the waist up and they are wearing a read sleaveless halterneck burlesque-looking outfit and red gloves. Their right hand is placed on the top left corner of their face, framing it.
