She embraces her femininity throughout the photoshoot while portraying her strength and conviction as well. The Oyster Magazine Super Woman cover shoot was captured by New York-based photographer Cass Bird. The Canadian beauty was styled by Stevie Dance. She chose [daring and revealing pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) from the racks of such labels as Alexander Wang, Mugler and Norma Kamali.
