Once a color reserved for scorn and jokes about jumpsuits, orange experiences a metamorphosis in the Vogue China May 2014 issue. Whether it was the popularity of the Netflix original series 'Orange is the New Black' that unearthed the shade out of its oblivion is hard to say, but one thing is for certain, Shu Pei pulls off the tricky color with total ease.
Fashion editor Ida Wang styled Pei in swimsuits varying from tangerine to blood orange. The makeup matched completely, with beauty artist Jeanine Lobell providing Pei with matching glossy lips, lacquered nails and dramatic, rustic eyeshadow. To finish up, hair expert Alicia Torello styled her pumpkin locks in some beachy waves.
Jem Mitchell photographed Pei looking glamorous and beach-ready.
