Model Rosemary Smith, who has very Uma Thurman-like features, plays a sensual performer. She channels the 1800s in Paris burlesques with surprisingly wearable looks. A standout garment is the [vivid cyan-printed suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models) that has an air of oriental allure. Lensed by Takaki Kumada, the editorial is a whirl of [feathers, fun and sequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025). Sporting versatile make-up and [bold wigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), the beauty looks in this Madame Figaro Japan are not understated in any way.
