Cosmopolitan U.S. presents 'Margaret Qualley in Love,' a cinematic editorial feature starring actor Margaret Qualley. The production traverses a variety of settings, moving from boat decks overlooking the harbor to stylized, ornamental interiors, creating a visual narrative anchored in natural light and warm, golden hour tones. Photographer Alana O'Herlihy captures the subject through a distinctly nostalgic lens, employing an analogue film aesthetic that complements the diverse styling choices. From metallic sequin gowns to minimalist swimwear and playful, detail-oriented compositions, the project balances clean, editorial precision with spontaneous street-style moments. The production was guided by Editor-in-Chief Willa Bennett and Fashion Director Brandon Tan, with contributions from hair stylist Evanie Frausto, makeup artist Romy Soleimani, manicurist Yukie Miyakawa, set designer Nicholas des Jardins, and producer Dana Brockman.
