Vogue Portugal Le Rouge et le Noir 2026

Description

A close-up studio beauty portrait photographed by David Ajkai for Vogue Portugal's editorial Le Rouge et le Noir. Model Melinda Kiss poses with a clean, sculptural posture, featuring slicked-back dark hair by Bianca Van Zwieten and deep burgundy lips by makeup artist Giulia Carini. A textured optical distortion filter obscures her eye area horizontally, creating an abstract, fluted effect across the upper face. The shot is captured in high-contrast desaturated monochrome tones set against a neutral grey backdrop, highlighting the single vivid splash of red on the lips.
