Madisyn Ritland Has Eerie Eyes for Marie Claire Italia

Model Madisyn Ritland may be little, but if these pictures are any indication, you don’t want to mess with her. The editorial shoot for Marie Claire Italia may have been called “Life is a Beach, Let’s Dance,” but the images are anything but cheery.

The images of Madisyn Ritland show dark waters and dull skies, but also show intense stares by the model. The eerie stare she gives make it appear as if her eyes are almost entirely all white. A strong editorial shoot that may not make you want to dance like the title suggests, but will have you taking a second look.
