Apparently Cavalli couldn’t decide weather they wanted a brunette or blonde to star in their [Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam), so they had Daria Werbowy assume both personas to keep everyone happy.

Photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Daria Werbowy alternates between her natural brunette look and a [platinum blonde makeover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streax) that channels screen siren Marilyn Monroe.

Daria is joined in the campaign by model Freja Beha Erichsen, who makes a cameo in three of the ads. The campaign was styled by Marie Amelie Sauve with hair by Luigi Murenu.
