The L’Officiel China May 2012 editorial is completely feminine with an innocent flirtiness thrown into the mix. Posing in front of Paris-based Chinese photographer Michelle du Xuan's lens, model Odile Coco exhibits a girly beauty that is accentuated by some playful fashion pieces such as a cat-eared straw fascinator, masquerade mask and [pretty pink lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty).

Styled by Pierre-Yves Marquer, the L’Officiel China May 2012 editorial is filled with [billowing dresses, soft colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femininity-in-bloom) and glittering accessories. The Dutch beauty is even given a slight retro finish that is just shy of the classic pin-up girl look. With lush curls by hairstylist Shuko Sumida and [vibrant eye shadow and lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camlia-futura) by makeup artist Aya Fujita, the modernized looks meld the '40s with a touch of the '80s.
