MISS OPULENCE

Miss Opulence is a styled photoshoot inspired by a beauty pageant set in the mid-1980s, a decade that profoundly shapes my work. Growing up with parents who experienced the vibrant culture of the 80s, I’ve always felt a deep nostalgia for its bold media, fashion, music, and beauty trends. The 80s were a time of extremes—larger-than-life personalities, dramatic fashion, and, of course, big hair.

For this shoot, the wardrobe was carefully curated to reflect the era’s most iconic silhouettes. All but one of the dresses were thrifted or sourced as authentic vintage pieces from the 1980s. Each garment was chosen to celebrate the unapologetic glamour of the decade, from dramatic shoulder heights to layers of intricate ruffles.

The photoshoot itself embodies the opulent aesthetic of the 80s, showcasing vibrant clothing, bold makeup, and striking hairstyles that channel the essence of the time. Miss Opulence is my homage to one of the most iconic periods in pop culture history, where extravagance and individuality reigned supreme.
