The July 2012 Cosmopolitan USA 'Rock Star' editorial is set among light blue waters, beige grains of sand and weathered tree trunks. Australian model Rosie Tupper is found sprawled out here against the natural beauty, albeit while sporting glamorous and excessively gilded nighttime looks.
This Cosmopolitan USA editorial opts for metallic everything. Shiny crop jackets, golden shorts and beaded tops all reflect the rays of the sun, displaying the many ways in which women may wear metallic ensembles this summer. And just as the title suggests, the production maintains noteworthy rock and roll undertones, seen by way of Tupper's messy windswept tresses, short shorts, pairs of large opaque sunglasses and smudged kohl eye makeup.
