beach editorials

Angela Lindvall is no stranger to the camera — and in this bright, tropical-inspired shoot for the June issue of Elle Russia, she looks sleek, sultry, and right at home. Shot by photographer Asa Tallgard at the famed Sheats-Goldstein Residence in California, Angela plays the role of a sun-drenched Summer princess perfectly, decked out in bold, technicolor designs from Versace, Dior, and Diane von Furstenberg. Between the candy-colored heels, berry-stained lips, and swimsuits worthy of a Bond girl, the spread captures the spirit of the sophisticated seductress, lounging languidly by the pool. Click through the slideshow to see Angela in all her sexy Summer glory.

Daria Werbowy's laid-back beauty seems tailor made for this sun-washed Summer editorial in T magazine. Shot by fashion photographer Cass Bird, the shoot brings us right back to those perfect Summer days: living in a swimsuit, making sandcastles on the beach, and sunset boat rides. It really seems like an endless Summer in this shoot, and the carefree styling — think Alexander Wang tees and J. Crew bikini tops — drives home the fact that Summer is the time to dress down. Click the slideshow to see all of Daria's looks and those long, willowy legs.
