If it makes little difference whether or not the Persona is dressed, if they attract the observer's attention with their physical body, their Material presence – most likely, this is the Queen of Disks.
If it's the Persona's charm, allure, and emotions that draw the viewer's attention – most likely, this is the Queen of Cups (Hearts).
If the Persona attracts attention with a particular concept, motto, idea, philosophy, action/statement (such as Lady Gaga's meat dress), then this is the Queen of Swords (Spades).
If the Persona draws attention with a particular trend or fashion, suggests some sort of potential, project, development path, or choice, then this is the Queen of Wands (Clubs).
That said, gender, race, biological species make no difference. Tarot Queens can symbolize both a man and a woman. As well as inanimate objects and even processes.
A claim to fame and a desire to grab attention – these are a "reversed" Five, in the aspect of the element where it's most manifested.

Figure 1.12.8 Queen of Disks – the focal point around which Matter and Finance revolve. The New York Stock Exchange. A bank. Money, assets, everything "revolves" around them. 123

The distinctive feature of the Queen of Disks is her V.I.P. status in Material or Financial matters. And that she serves as the focal point around which these revolve.

King of Disks
.
A traffic cop signals a Mercedes S600 to stop. The "new Russian" pulls over, but doesn't get out of the car. The traffic cop waits for the driver to go up to him. A minute or two passes. Finally, the window of the Benz is rolled down:
– OK, pal, I haven't got all day. Which one of us here, in fact, actually needs the dough? Me or you?

The King, according to the Kabbalah, is the law, the law-giver and law-maker, a wielder and conductor of Power.
The object through which Power "manifests", controls, or is conveyed to the world.
Accordingly, the King of Disks is a Power Conductor of Matter or Finance.
In the Material world, he may symbolize, for example, a crane at a construction site.
In the Financial world, for example, he may symbolize the main formative market players. Such as, for instance, the dominant world currencies – the dollar, the pound, the euro, etc.
