Madame Figaro

Dec 2025

Madame Figaro presents 'Deux siècles de beauté,' a multi-era beauty and fashion editorial that explores shifting aesthetics through history. The project channels distinct cultural movements—from 1930s Hollywood glamour and 1970s silhouettes to 1990s minimalism—to create a visual archive of changing beauty standards. Photographer Charlotte Navio leads the visual execution, capturing model Marie-Louise Wedel in a series of studio portraits that lean into monochromatic palettes and clean, high-contrast compositions. With styling by Julie Gillet and intricate beauty work by hair stylist Olivier Lebrun and makeup artist Lloyd Simmonds, the series uses varied techniques including soft beauty light and graphic typography to frame the narrative. The collection serves as an editorial feature, balancing historical research with contemporary precision.
