This pictorial of Noemie Lenoir by Sergi Pons for GQ Spain oozes sensuality, confidence and raw sexuality. The French model dons leather, lace, spikes and lingerie curated by stylist Alberto Murtra as she sprawls seductively in a bedroom and on a balcony for the camera. Lenoir sports a blunt bob with slightly curled edges in some photos; in others, her hair is tightly pulled back and set off with a diaphanous netted veil.
The editorial is a tribute to legendary fashion photographer Helmut Newton, according to Fashion Gone Rogue. As Newton's photo shoots frequently featured erotic, fetish-inspired themes, it's no wonder the images in this pictorial are so sexually charged. Whether she's smoking a cigarette or laying down on a bed, wine bottle in hand, Lenoir owns the scene.
