Description

This striking black and white beauty portrait features a woman with slicked-back hair and dark, smoky eye makeup as the sharp central focus. Flanking her in the foreground and background are blurred profiles that create a layered compositional effect. The subject wears a dark high-necked garment with visible zipper details. The lighting is soft and directional, emphasizing facial contours and skin texture against a neutral backdrop. Photographed by Thiemo Sander with makeup by Maria Olsson for the Elle Beauty Awards 2026.
