Ali Michael and Ton Heukels vie for the title of "World's Most Attractive Couple" in The Wild Magazine's Summer 2014 issue.

Fashion editor Jessica Bobince went for a [retro aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) when styling these two. Michael was dressed in knee-high socks and flirty, polka-dotted frocks, while Heukels donned printed T-shirts and leather pants. In terms of beauty, Michael sports a beehive-inspired hair 'do styled by Michael Silva, while Heukels lets his hair down in a long, pretty-boy mane. Makeup artist Vincent Oquendo finished off the look with some [vibrant turquoise eye shadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity).
