The [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Russia May 2012 'Scary Girl' photoshoot coincides with the authentic looks worn by retro members of high society. American model Chloe Moretz assumes the bourgeois role quite well here, brandishing large strings of pearls and posh leather gloves.

Professional stylist Natasha Royt put together these [upper-class outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bergdorf-soire). The collection of lace, fringe and chiffon fits with the 1950s cuts, many of which showcase high neck lines and long frocks.

These ensembles are ones that may be still seen today at [elegant affairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), providing a testimonial to the theory that classic apparel rarely goes out of style. Moretz's dark blunt bob spliced in a 1920s vibe as one of the hair dos most frequently associated with the decade. Altogether, these vintage hints make for a glamorous production.
