The latest iteration of the classic BMW XM SUV is dubbed the Mystique Allure car. It is bedazzled in shimmering details of sequin applications and a deep velvet finish at the exterior. This is inspired by famed supermodel Naomi Campbell and was unveiled as a part of a red carpet reveal event in France.
It took place at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and is all a part of the overarching Date to be You campaign. The car is inspired by Naomi's favorite color and the exterior has a textured finish for a fashion-centric approach. The shade of Ultramarine takes charge with additional textural contrast of matte accents. Other details include the metallic sequins that detail the kidney grille for a reflective finish.
