Model Miao Bin Si is like a beautiful Asian doll in the ELLE Vietnam 'Lost Heaven' editorial. From her thick black brows, cropped bangs and pink-stained cheeks, she could easily be mistaken for a [realistic, life-sized toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll). It helps that she maintains stoic expressions. Nevertheless, her expressive poses make it appear as though she has come alive, hoping to find a way home after getting lost in a forest.

The ELLE Vietnam 'Lost Heaven' editorial was shot by photographer Stockton Johnson. Set to appear in the October 2012 issue of the magazine, the Chinese beauty was styled by Phuong My. My played with [stunning couture outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) that pop out against the dark foliage and rustic setting.
