I have honestly not come across a cuter [fashion campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) than the Me & City ads--at least, not for this year. Starring heartthrob actor Orlando Bloom and model guru Agyness Deyn, it portrays them as a young [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-2027-collection) couple.

Photographed by Terry Richardson, Bloom and Deyn are an effortless couple in the Me & City ads, so much so that it actually looks as though the paparazzi captured them in real life instead of the whole thing being staged. Too cute for words.
