Styled by Jeanne Le Bault, Cruz embraces bold textures and strong tailoring, with structured jackets and dramatic skirts taking center stage. Slingback pumps add a classic touch, while delicate earrings keep the focus on the Chanel face’s striking beauty.
Her signature voluminous waves, crafted by Pablo Iglesias, frame her face flawlessly, while a bold red lip using Lancôme brings the drama. Lucero Hurtado ensures her nails are polished to perfection.
The shoot’s art direction, led by Adrien Pelletier, enhances the contrast between sharp monochromatic moments and deep red backdrops, making every frame pop.
