This striking portrait from the V Magazine project The Sweet Life features model Bela Morelli captured by photographer Adrien Toubiana. The close-up composition focuses on a Black woman wearing a distinctive black hat covered in white polka dots and a dark textured patterned dress with a matching polka dot neck wrap. She holds a vibrant blue frosted cupcake up to her lips, creating a bold contrast against her bright red lipstick and manicured red nails. Her hands are adorned with multiple jewelled rings featuring green, gold, and diamond stones. The styling is completed by Rúben De Melo Moreira, with hair by Yuri Napolitano, makeup by Marco Roscino, and manicures by Magda S. The lighting is clean and direct, highlighting the rich textures and saturated color palette against a plain white studio background.
