The La Mer Noire online editorial is a refreshing change from more typical [beach photoshoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection). Although still [sultry and sensual](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) with a ton of allusions to nudity due to the neutral tones used throughout, the looks are naturally disheveled, which shows that women don't have to be perfect all the time. Especially when they are on vacation.

The blonde beauty is a vision in [swimwear and dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection) from such labels as La Perla, Just Cavalli and Moschino Cheap and Chic. Makeup artist Jenny Matea and hair stylist Alex Caraman perfected the looks.
