The Elle Ukraine September 2010 issue mixes geek style with glamor chic. Model Charlotte looks perfect in every shot, so much so that she resembles a wax figure. [Makeup artist Megumi Itano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-talk-beauty-soulmates) did a good job giving the model a ghostly appearance.

The photographer who shot the Elle Ukraine September 2010 issue is Nikolay Biryukov. This spread was shot back in June in Paris, France. From [geeky glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1) to [red couture dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), this spread proves that bookworms can be stylish too.
