Norwegian-born photographer Mariell Amelie has an impressive photography portfolio that includes very original and delightful spreads. Her photo-series named Bardot features a gorgeous brunette, some lingerie and what appears to be a ton of hairspray.

The shoot by Mariell Amelie is captivating and lustful. The [retro-styled spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) takes the alluring model from the bathroom to the bedroom, tastefully showing off her sensuality.

**Implications** - The model really shows off a fresh take on the updated retro vibe styled in [bright red lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-love-and-lemons-1) that looks similar to a bathing suit. She also wears black and white lingerie but always with fun pops of bright color. The model's makeup is simple except for her super-dark [smokey eyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign). The Mariell Amelie photo-series was styled and executed perfectly.
