WSJ Playing Dress Up 2026

Description

A fashion editorial image from the WSJ project 'Playing Dress Up', photographed by Laura Jane Coulson. A model sits on a pale painted wooden staircase, resting her cheek against her raised knee while looking toward the camera. She is styled in a voluminous, translucent blue plaid tiered ruffle skirt paired with a cobalt blue long-sleeve underlayer and a powder blue sweater draped around her shoulders. On her feet are pale cream kitten-heeled mules with floral detailing. Soft, natural interior light illuminates the scene against muted off-white walls. Hair styling is credited to Joe Burwin, makeup by Thomasin Waite, and set design by Lester Lloyd.
