The Malibu Magazine 'Luminaria' editorial is smoldering despite being entirely shot in black and white. Lending the photoshoot a glamorously refined appeal, the grayscale images are dramatic and sensual. American actress Zoe Saldana, who can soon be seen in 'The Words' with actor Bradley Cooper, channels her inner sex symbol to model the elegantly skin-revealing outfits she is clad in.
Shot by New York City-born and -based photographer Mark Squires for the September 2012 issue of the publication, the Malibu Magazine 'Luminaria' editorial features a sleek wardrobe of black and white pieces. Styled by Petra Flannery, she pulled designs from the racks of such labels as Alexander McQueen, Emilio Pucci, Eres, Chanel and others. The editorial was shot in Hollywood, California.
