The fashion shoot took place at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel. French actor Adèle Exarchopoulos has a third cover and fashion story also shot by Purienne. Vogue France head of editorial content Claire Thomson-Jonville worked as stylist.

Looking at Bruna’s IG [IG], there is no reason to question her introduction to her future husband and how her sister Christie, chatting with another couple in a public space, took charge of the kismet of their meeting. Among all the gorgeous images of her on the wedding festivities, the future bride is the narrator of Christie’s intervention:

I asked him where he was from. We started talking.
Meanwhile, my sister was finishing a conversation with a couple next to us.

She turned around, saw what was happening… and immediately stepped in.

“What’s your name?”
“Blondy.”
“Are you married?”
“No.”

“Do you have kids?”
“No, I’m not married.”

“Take my sister’s number, you guys going on a date tomorrow, pick her up at 7pm”
