Granted, since it was shot for the magazine's January 2015 issue, Christmas and New Year's Eve would be over. So it's only natural that there is a bit of edge going into the new year.
The outfits are also playful and dark, which suits the mood to a T. Barbara Palvin for Vogue Portugal is styled by Paulo Macedo, who focused a lot of rich jewel-toned colors, bold patterns and slightly androgynous fits. Shot in studio by photographer Marcin Tyszka, the features a few fun props such as a fake mustache, a ginormous top hat and some paper eyebrows.
