British Vogue Keeping It Coel 2025

Description

This portrait of actor Michaela Coel was photographed by Harley Weir for the British Vogue project Keeping It Coel, with fashion editing by Nell Kalonji. The subject is captured waist-up wearing a heavy structured black jacket with a dramatic high collar over a pastel-trimmed bustier. Her hair is closely cropped, complemented by dark, bold makeup styling. The dramatic studio lighting casts soft contours across her face, set against a rich, uniform red background that heightens the contrast.
