Tousled locks, lipstick and lace are played up in the theatrical 'Like a Movie' photo shoot. The [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) Italia September 2010 spread is chillingly expressive and exquisitely elegiac.

Draped in elegant gowns reminiscent of centuries past, model Elisa Sednaoui strikes piercing poses for photographer Miles Aldridge. Each shot looks like a film still from an old movie in which the leading actress is continuously experiencing some sort of inner turmoil. The 'Like a Movie' photo shoot is magnificently captured, evoking thousands of possible words for the circumstances of the subject.
