Styled by Sarajane Hoare Canadian supermodel Daria Werbowy in V64 looks like an elegant, cigar-smoking cowgirl. The spread, which appears in V magazine's upcoming 64th issue, was inspired by the provocative style of Maria Felix, a Mexican film actress who rose to fame in the 1950s.
Daria Werbowy in V64 was photographed by Mario Testino. Wearing a smattering of neutral colours such a beige and black with wide-brimmed hats, wrapped snake accessories and inflections of Mexicana, Werbowy looks stunning.
