The White Witch of Narnia, Tilda Swinton, took part in the Aura photoshoot for the August issue of W Korea magazine. Sølve Sundsbø was the photographer of this special high-fashion editorial.

The concept of the shoot was similar to her mysterious character from Narnia, complete with a cold blue, washed-out look. The magazine issue also features Swinton's interview, where she further discusses her friendly relationship with the 'Snowpiercer' film director Bong Joon ho.

The 52-year-old British actress is featured in W Korea magazine with eccentric looks, including avant-garde pieces from [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026), Gareth Pugh, Ann Demeulemeester, Christopher Kane, Haider Ackermann and Alexander Wang. The [sci-fi elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection) infused in the shoot add an additional touch to the already stunning outfits.
