The 'Paper Dolls Or Noir' editorial for Jalouse Magazine's May 2014 issue combines the location of a Western with the aesthetic of a film noir.
Victoria's Secret alum Rose Huntington-Whiteley rubs shoulders with sexy ranch hands while dressed in sophisticated, monochromatic fashions styled by Jennifer Eymere. Next to these sweaty, unkempt boys, Whiteley looks particularly elegant -- not to mention clean. However, I have a feeling she wouldn't mind rolling around in the hay with any one of them.
Whiteley's strawberry blonde locks were swept back in a tousled 'do by hair stylist Steve Sollitto, while her goddess-like genes were enhanced with a subtle smokey eye by makeup artist Marcus Francis. The somber black-and-white editorial was lensed by photographer Mathieu Cesar.
