American model Hilary Rhoda is the latest cover girl for [Elle Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-by-elle-collection) May 2010. Inside the magazine Rhoda takes on the pantsuit and [lingerie craze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) with silk jackets, a Madonna-inspired [cone bra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-lingerie-line) and sheer top.

Shot by photographer Alexei Hay, Rhoda looks sexy and stunning showing off pieces from Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Martin Margiela, Fendi and more. Her cat-eyed makeup and red lips make Hilary Rhoda look a true vixen.

**Implications** - Elle Italia May 2010 uses light and shading in such a way as to accentuate the body of Hilary Rhoda. I went through this series once and then I did so a second time because it was so tantalizing.
