Description

Captured by photographer Laura Jane Coulson for WSJ's 'Playing Dress Up' story, three models—Betsy Gaghan, Bebe Parnell, and Jacqui Hooper—sit huddled together against a white wall on a stone ledge. The trio wears oversized collared button-down shirts in solid pink, light blue pinstripe, and soft pink with a white collar, paired with knee-high socks and decorative pointed-toe heels. Lit by direct, crisp natural light casting strong shadows, the composition captures expressive, candid facial expressions with styled hair by Joe Burwin and natural makeup by Thomasin Waite.
