Ali Michael and Ton Heukels vie for the title of "World's Most Attractive Couple" in The Wild Magazine's Summer 2014 issue.
Fashion editor Jessica Bobince went for a retro aesthetic when styling these two. Michael was dressed in knee-high socks and flirty, polka-dotted frocks, while Heukels donned printed T-shirts and leather pants. In terms of beauty, Michael sports a beehive-inspired hair 'do styled by Michael Silva, while Heukels lets his hair down in a long, pretty-boy mane. Makeup artist Vincent Oquendo finished off the look with some vibrant turquoise eye shadow.
This high-fashion love story, which brings to mind the pill-popping ladies of Mark Robsons' 'Valley of the Dolls,' was lensed by the talented photographer Jason Kim.
