'The Ritz' is an 80s-inspired fashion story that is captured for web publication The Ones 2 Watch. The series is captured by photographer Amelia J Dowd and features model Elodie Russell who sports a wardrobe of vibrant clothing picks and statement accessories.

The model is styled by Lauren Dietze who opts for a number of ruffled and sculptural fashions that range from monochromatic tones to punchy shades of bright red, and pink. Referencing the 80s, Dietze experiments with [exaggerated shoulders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), and contrasting volumes that her model muse pulls off effortlessly.

Hair and makeup for The Ritz is the work of Ashleigh Carpenter who creates a slicked back bob for Elodie along with [statement lipstick applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory). This editorial's most eye-catching elements are its [retro accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) -- ranging from oversized earrings to fur-clad kitten heel slides.
