Stunning and sophisticated, this Numero China April 2013 editorial is a feast for the eyes.

Although model Du Juan poses in what appears to be a mysterious warehouse filled with boxes (not exactly the most glamorous setting), she manages to look absolutely elegant in a number of theatrical pieces that look ready for the stage. A former ballet dancer, Du's graceful beauty definitely shines through in this series of photos. Photographer Yin Chao captures the Chinese beauty as she brightens up the drab background with her [bold red lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign), pouffed up-do and glamorous evening gowns complete with [haute couture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bach-mai) styled by Joseph Carle.

Check out this Numero China April 2013 photo shoot to see elegance done right.
