Giedre Dukauskaite fronts Grazia Germany‘s 'American Beauty' editorial, a series that is lensed by photographer Ben Lamberty. Styling for the feature is courtesy of Kisha C. Jones who opts for a [tomboy-themed wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) of oversized sweaters, leather jackets and denim shirts.

Hair and makeup for this series is the work of Shlomi Mor and Yadim Fur who create a [wet-haired and dynamic beauty look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign). Model Giedre Dukauskaite pulls off wet and messy tresses while pulling off a makeup routine that consists of heavy brows, bronzed cheeks and neutral lips.

Borrowing from androgynous styles, Grazia Germany‘s 'American Beauty' exclusive is effortlessly cool and is reflective of today's generation. Rather than opting for fashions that are heavy with ornamentation, today's youth is embracing a "[less is more](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit)" motto when it comes to their wardrobe.
