Rap recording artist Iggy Azalea is featured on Oyster Magazine’s October 2013 issue. The editorial, shot by Nabil Elderkin, showcases Azalea taken on a sleeker, more high-fashion look. Azalea is known for her controversial songs, theatrical videos and dramatic style.
For this shoot, the provocative rapper is stripped bare to the essentials. Azalea wears her hair in a glossy, high ponytail, wears minimal makeup (save for an intense cat-eye look) and sticks to a monochromatic wardrobe. This is not the booty-popping, electrifying-color-wearing Iggy that has been splashed all over the media as of late. Azalea is clearly trying to demonstrate a different side of herself with a refined, understated look.
The result is a simply beautiful spread that features shots with Azalea intensely staring at the camera or demurely looking away while holding onto her long, platinum blonde ponytail.
