The Sunday Times Style May 2014 editorial is darkly romantic, which heightens the dramatic flair of the couture items featured throughout the editorial. Set against a gorgeous floral backdrop, the setting also lends a fairy tale feel to the photoshoot. It doesn't hurt that the model looks like a real-life Disney princess in all of the stunning gowns.

Whether it is golden and puffy or sequinned and slim-fitting, the looks are all feminine and all luxurious. They were perfected with a half-up hairdo by Karin Bigler and a bright red lip by Maxine Leonard.
