The ELLE Mexico February 2014 cover shoot is a bit of a contradiction. In spite of being simply titled 'Queen,' the looks appear made for the everyday women. Granted, upon closer inspection, a subtle eclectic and even eccentric quality can be detected in each outfit. Whether that comes in the form of a high heeled headdress or a seductively sheared dress shirt, there is something that would cause eyebrows to raise.
Shot by photographer Paul Morel, the ELLE Mexico February 2014 cover shoot stars model Daria Pleggenkuhle. The German beauty was styled by Adele Cany, who pulled regal pieces from Dolce & Gabbana, sporty designs from Prada and edgier creations from Jean Paul Gaultier. Hairstylist Philippe Mensah and makeup artist Darlia Day were on beauty duty.
