A masterclass in modern power dressing, Keri Russell debuts a WWD Weekend photoshoot that redefines the sleek, urban uniform—effortless yet commanding, with a whisper of rebellion.
For a celebrity whose fashion choices have consistently flown just under the radar, Keri Russell’s new photoshoot for WWD is a quiet revelation. This isn’t about red carpet theatrics or street style spectacles; it’s a meticulously crafted lookbook that frames Russell as a paragon of contemporary sophistication. The entire story feels less like a series of portraits and more like a visual thesis on what it means to be a woman of substance in the 2020s.
The Uniform of Power
Russell’s looks in this series are less about fleeting trends and more about a timeless, architectural approach to dressing.
The first image captures a striking, elongated silhouette. Russell wears a long, deep gray coat with a subtle herringbone pattern, draped over one shoulder with a confident swagger. The coat’s silhouette is sharp and clean, contrasting with a pleated, semi-sheer black dress that pools at her feet. The combination of structured wool with delicate pleats creates a beautiful tension—a look that is both serious and sensuous.
In the second shot, the mood shifts to an elegant, minimalist glamour. Russell wears a soft pink dress with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, showcasing a different kind of silhouette. The fabric appears to be a sleek, matte silk or crepe. Her arms are adorned with a cascade of stacked cuffs and bangles in mixed metals and diamond settings, creating a bold, sculptural effect that offsets the dresses simplicity.
The final image finds her in a sharp, gray plaid suit. The jacket features powerful, exaggerated shoulders and a cinched waist, giving it a feminine yet commanding shape. The trousers are slim, completing a look that feels both classic and distinctly modern. It’s a bold take on tailoring, eschewing soft lines for something more assertive.
Across all three images, a sense of polished minimalism dominates. Russell’s hair is styled with a subtle, natural texture, and her makeup is understated with a focus on a strong brow and a luminous complexion. This approach ensures the clothing and accessories remain the focal point. The jewelry, particularly the striking cuffs and a large ring in the second image and the sculptural earrings in the third, serves as a powerful anchor for each look. There’s a confidence in her poses—whether it’s the quiet strength in the first image or the slightly more dramatic turn in the second—that grounds each outfit. It’s a masterful lesson in how to build a visual story without relying on extraneous details. The entire series feels like a carefully curated celebrity style exhibit.
Gracie Abrams channels quiet chaos—half domestic, half surreal—in POP Magazine’s Autumn/Winter 2025 issue, where spaghetti meets subversion and celebrity style gets a moody remix.
Gracie Abrams has never been one for loud declarations. Her fashion moments tend to whisper rather than shout—but in POP Magazine’s Issue 53, that whisper becomes a kind of sartorial scream. Shot by Torbjørn Rødland, the cover captures Abrams mid-bite, spooning pasta from a pristine bowl with the kind of melancholic intensity that feels more arthouse than editorial. It’s a portrait of intimacy, yes—but also of curated contradiction.
Outfit Focus Abrams wears a black knit sweater with a pale blue ribbon motif that loops across the chest like a half-forgotten gift. The fabric is matte, almost absorptive, and the silhouette is boxy but softened—think Comme des Garçons filtered through a suburban lens. The ribbon detail adds a touch of whimsy, but it’s not saccharine; it’s the kind of visual punctuation that makes you pause, then reconsider. There’s no visible branding, which feels intentional—this isn’t about logos, it’s about mood.

Never one to play it safe, Heidi Klum channels vintage allure with a modern twist in her sheer polka-dot ensemble for Cosmopolitan Deutschland’s October 2025 issue—proving age-diversity in fashion isn’t just a trend, it’s a revolution.
Thirty years in the spotlight, and Klum still knows how to turn heads—this time, with a look that marries nostalgia and edge. For the magazine’s 45th anniversary cover, she dons a sheer black mesh dress dotted with tiny polka spots, a style that feels both timeless and refreshingly current. The dress itself is a study in contrast: its deep V-neckline dips low enough to hint at drama without crossing into vulgarity, while long sleeves trimmed with delicate fringe add a retro flair reminiscent of 1920s flapper dresses. A wide black belt cinches at the waist, creating an hourglass silhouette that’s equal parts classic and contemporary. The fabric is a revelation—translucent yet structured, allowing glimpses of skin without sacrificing elegance. Minimalist accessories keep the focus on the dress: a sleek silver buckle on the belt, subtle gold hoop earrings, and (if visible) a thin bracelet. Nothing competes with the dress’s bold pattern, but everything enhances it—proof that less is often more in high fashion.
Klum’s pose is pure confidence: arms raised behind her head, body angled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips. The soft, warm lighting of the shoot casts a golden glow on her skin, emphasizing the dress’s texture and her own radiant energy. There’s no pretense here—just a woman owning her space, unapologetically. Her hair, a cascade of blonde waves, falls loosely around her shoulders, adding softness to the edgy dress. Makeup is equally balanced: smoky eyeshadow that draws attention to her eyes, paired with nude lipstick that keeps the focus on her features rather than overwhelming them. Every element—from the dress’s silhouette to the hair’s texture—works in harmony, creating a look that’s cohesive, memorable, and utterly Heidi.
This look isn’t just about fashion; it’s about challenging norms. In an industry that often values youth over experience, Klum’s presence on the cover sends a clear message: beauty and success don’t have an expiration date. As she tells the magazine, “When I started, models hit their peak in their late 20s. Now, times have changed, and I’m still working at 52—that makes me happy.” Her choice of a sheer, polka-dot dress bridges generations, appealing to both longtime fans and new audiences. It’s a rebuke to ageism, wrapped in a garment that’s as stylish as it is symbolic.
