Elle U.S. The Singular, Je Ne Sais Quoi Allure of Balmain 2025

About

Captured by photographer Brendan Wixted for Elle U.S., this striking fashion editorial features model Eduarda Bretas styled by Cassie Anderson in a leopard print slip dress. The subject is seated gracefully on a deep red velvet banquette booth against a textured golden-yellow and orange wall. She wears a black leather handbag accented with a prominent gold buckle over her shoulder, complementing her black heels. Makeup by Akiko Owada refines the polished look, creating a cohesive visual narrative centered on modern luxury and sophistication.
