This week, two of Talent Management’s female models were booked in for a bridal shoot, and while we’re yet to see the final images from the day, we’re sure they both looked stunning having been shot in no less than 14 wedding dresses!

But not every model gets to look pretty in their shoots; spare a thought for Estonian model Carmen Kass, who understands this well. In the latest issue of 25 magazine, the 33 year old has had to become a woman of many faces for photographer Yelena Yemchuk, one of which is a man’s.

While some of the editorial’s shots are indeed pretty, the one above must have taken some balls on the model’s part. Styled in a painted on vest, black leather trousers, and what we’re assuming is a wig – Kass is otherwise ice blonde – she poses with a lit cigarette clenched between her teeth in a hunched, masculine pose, in keeping with the styling.

As well as the unflattering outfit and hair, her make-up is equally unsightly. With painted in dark circles, a 5 o’clock shadow and dirty skin, we applaud Kass for managing to pull off what is possibly the ugliest look we’ve seen this year, followed shortly by a pair of models styled as Victorian corpses on the beach in Marc Jacob’s latest campaign.

What do you think of this shot – would you be willing to pose as the opposite sex in the name of fashion?
