Never one for the expected, Nicole Wallace reveals a sun-kissed allure for Marie Claire España’s August 2025 issue, a sun-drenched narrative that feels less like a photoshoot and more like a stolen moment of pure summer.
The cover itself — Wallace, eyes locked with the lens, a hint of blush against bronzed skin — is an invitation. She appears poised, yet utterly relaxed, a masterclass in understated elegance. The magazine promises “Verano con ESTILO” (Summer with Style), and Wallace delivers, effortlessly blurring the lines between high fashion and the easy grace of a summer day.
Inside, the “Belleza real” (Real Beauty) spread unfurls, capturing Wallace in various states of serene repose. One shot finds her reclining, her form draped in what appears to be a poplin and silk bra top from Dior’s Dioriviera 2025 collection. Her makeup, as noted in the accompanying text, is a subtle triumph by Peter Philips, Dior Beauty’s Director of Image and Creation, highlighting her eyes with DiorShow Maximizer 4D and Diorshow Liquid Liner. It’s a look that whispers rather than shouts, focusing on natural luminosity and a hint of playful sophistication.
Another captivating image presents Wallace in a striped “CHRISTIAN DIOR” sweater, its nautical motif perfectly harmonizing with the azure waters behind her. The short-sleeved top, with its distinctive lacing details, is again from the Dioriviera 2025 collection. Here, her complexion is described as perfected with Dior Forever Glow Veil primer and Dior Forever Skin Glow, with under-eye brightening provided by Dior Forever Skin Correct. The ensemble—a blend of maritime cool and luxury—feels like a modern update on classic Riviera chic.
Later, she dons a striking black and white technical knit bikini, a high-waisted mini-short paired with a chic bandeau top, also from the Dioriviera 2025 collection. The accessories—a chunky resin and metal ring, a textured golden choker—add just the right amount of playful decadence. Her cheeks are painted with three tones of Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick, while her lips are treated with Dior Addict Lip Glow in 000 Universal Lavender. It’s a vision of vacation glamour that’s both aspirational and entirely approachable.
The accompanying interview, titled “LA VERDAD ES QUE NADIE ES MÁS EXIGENTE CONMIGO QUE YO MISMA” (The truth is, no one is more demanding of me than myself), offers a glimpse into the young actress’s mindset. Wallace speaks candidly about her career, her approach to challenging roles, and the demanding nature of the entertainment industry. She discusses her work in the upcoming “Culpa mía” and “Culpa tuya” projects, highlighting the intensity and personal investment required. It’s a revealing portrait of a burgeoning star navigating the complexities of fame with a refreshing sense of self-awareness.
