The [ELLE Vietnam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-by-elle-collection) September 2012 beauty editorial gives the 1920s a modern update. From sultry stares to slick hair, the looks are classy without being too classic. Yet the images don't have to be in black and white to see the vintage influence. The hint of a finger wave in one image and the [ruby red lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-and-ella-gross) in another are complemented by outfits fit for a flapper girl.

Lensed by Shanghai- and New York-based photographer Stockton Johnson, the ELLE Vietnam September 2012 beauty editorial stars models Sung Hee Kim and Ma Jing. The [dark-haired beauties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybelline-face-the-difference) were styled by Susan Joy, who clad them in a glamorously luxe wardrobe. Nevertheless, the true stars are makeup artist Nam Vo and hairstylist Yoichi Tomizawa, both of whom concentrated on elegant and romantic looks.
