The Manhattan Magazine May 2014 cover shoot is drenched in sunlight, which is only appropriate now that summer is just around the corner for those living in the Northern Hemisphere. Embracing a wardrobe perfect both for that season and the last few weeks of spring, the editorial showcases its fair share of pastel hues, sheer fabrics and flirty skirts.
Starring American actress Kate Mara, the Manhattan Magazine May 2014 cover shoot embraces her newly blonde locks perfectly. Dyed for her latest role in the superhero franchise, 'The Fantastic Four,' she reveals in the accompanying article, "I like things that are rooted in reality and that are dark and not what you expect. And I think that that’s probably what Fantastic Four will be." She was shot by John Russo.
