WSJ Playing Dress Up 2026

Description

Photographed by Laura Jane Coulson for WSJ, this shot from the project Playing Dress Up captures models Betsy Gaghan, Bebe Parnell, and Jacqui Hooper in an energetic outdoor composition. Set against an aged brick wall under direct natural sunlight, the subjects wear structured dark blazers, patterned and pleated skirts, statement belts, and vibrant socks paired with heels. Hair styling by Joe Burwin adds windblown motion, paired with makeup by Thomasin Waite and set design by Lester Lloyd. Julia Lange directed casting for the shoot.
