Madison Iseman unveils a new aesthetic for Numéro Netherlands, trading polished glamor for a raw, sun-soaked (and surprisingly gritty) vision of modern Hollywood.
There’s a specific kind of light in Los Angeles—that stark, late-afternoon sun that turns concrete into a blinding white and casts long, dramatic shadows. It’s this unvarnished quality that Madison Iseman embraces in her latest editorial for Numéro Netherlands, leaving behind the usual red carpet formality for something more elemental.
In one shot, she lounges on a bed of loose gravel and dirt, the setting a striking contrast to her look. She pairs a simple ribbed white tank top with ruffled, high-cut green bikini bottoms. The glossy black slingback heels—a stark, almost aggressive detail—disrupt the otherwise relaxed mood, creating a tension that is the core of this shoot. It’s a study in contradictions: casual yet high-fashion, delicate and strong.
The narrative shifts as she stands on a sidewalk, backlit by that same harsh sun. Her black dress, a feat of textural complexity, appears to be made of frayed, artfully deconstructed threads, revealing glimpses of the skin beneath. Paired with sharp, black pointed-toe pumps and oversized sunglasses, the outfit channels a kind of whiplash chic—a look that feels both carefully composed and completely undone.
Then, there’s the final image, where she commands the frame in a crimson mini-dress. The color is electric, a jolt against the muted urban backdrop. What makes this look is the unexpected styling: bright red sheer stockings that create a continuous line from her legs to her matching red shoes. It’s a deliberate choice that elevates a simple silhouette, lending it a playful, almost mischievous spirit. The mood is confident, effortless, and entirely her own.
