Not entirely, IMHO. Stage performers, including classical musicians, have always been conscious of their appearance as a way to cultivate their celebrity. Stokowski kept that flowing mane of hair that gave him a distinguished look to a very advanced age, as well as a highly-developed sense of showmanship. Anyone who walks onto a stage has to expect their appearance to be put in issue, not necessarily how good looking they are, but how they carry themselves for sure. In fact, charisma and stage presence is far more effective than mere good looks, IMO. Alas, many musicians utterly lack both, and audiences know it.
However, the marketers who attempt to promote beautiful young women are making a big mistake, IMO. Charisma (and talent, of course) win the day. The industry of displaying the bodies of beautiful women does more than well enough without needing classical musicians.
