The lean beauty is depicted decked out in [furs, feathers and abstract animal print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-empire-collection), divulging a [bare chest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) and a matted updo which resembles a native headdress. A wrinkled deep amethyst backdrop has a midnight magnificence, while warm focused lighting makes the model's glossy skin glow. Her shoulders, stomach, bust and legs reveal themselves casually beneath tube tops, mesh shirts, shrugs and fishnet stockings. The cold navy blue color scheme accentuates the heat emitting from the subject's body, complemented by streaks of burnt orange on her leggings.
