Paris Hilton, Humanist and Brainiac, Covers Grazia Global April by Daniella Midenge
On a sun-drenched rooftop in Venice Beach, California, Paris Hilton [IG] stepped into the spotlight with photographer Daniella Midenge [IG] at her side. The glamorous Hilton was poised to create fashion magic with Midenge for 10 Grazia countries worldwide.
In spring 2023, Hilton responded to an outpouring of positivity and caught-off-guard understanding and support for her unknown, personal journey first revealed in the 2020 Documentary ‘This Is Paris’. Hilton’s response was a new book ‘Paris: The Memoir’.
In explaining the personal revelations in her film, one magazine summed up Paris’ point-of-view perfectly: “I’m Not a Dumb Blonde. I’m Just Really Good at Pretending to Be One.”
IMG model Jessica Stam covers the December 2024 issue of Harper’s Bazaar Turkey [IG]. Stam is being honored as the ‘Global Icon of the Year’ in the magazine’s annual Women of the Year issue. Photographer Daniella Midenge [IG] captures the Canadian model, a very successful member of the ‘doll faces’ beauties that rose to prominence in the early 00’s.

Rafael Linares styles Sampaio in core jewelry pieces from the Cartier Trinity collection, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2024.
Town & Country praised the design as one of “radical simplicity in an age of excess”. It was modern, mechanical and futuristic in its design, and an ode to individual style by the strong, confident multi-gendered personalities who wore ‘Trinity’ jewelry. Additionally, Trinity introduced luxury jewelry houses like Cartier to the appetite for fine jewelry among the growing middle class.
Lauren Wasser [IG], the courageous, striking, sexy woman who emerged as a symbol of strength and resilience after surviving toxic shock syndrome, is the “Model of the Year 2023” for Glamour Germany. We know Wasser for her golden legs, captured in these images by Daniella Midenge [IG] in Paris.
As Wasser reaches wide recognition in fashion world, she is to AOC a public representation of the ancient myth of a phoenix rising from the ashes AND Nike, the goddess of victory.
Lauren Wasser’s Luxury Brand Legs
The challenge with beauty standards is not to jam them down people’s throats. And to keep them wide and varied. In her presentations, Wasser is quick to name multiple personal attributes that are far more important than physical beauty.
In her case, Lauren Wasser has shattered societal beauty norms with a pair of luxury legs that could be out of the house of Schiaparelli.
Model Georgia Fowler radiates French Riviera glamour, perched high over the Mediterranean in Cannes for Numéro Netherlands [IG]. Photographer Daniella Midenge [IG] adds Fowler to the lineup of well-known, glamorous women she shot in Cannes.
In my dreams, I think we should unleash Daniella on the US Supreme Court, because if anyone can whip into shape those Federalist Society guys living in the 1660s vision of the patriarchal world order — it’s Daniella Midenge.
She would have them hiding in the justices cloak room, begging her to stand down.
Think about it, dear Daniella — for our country and the future of the free world. ~ Anne
Sharing these fabulous images of Winnie Harlow lensed by Daniella Midenge [IG] at California’s Joshua Tree National Park, Winnie is just the most beautiful, articulate, focused and inspiring warrior-woman, love goddess on our precious Earth.
It’s a challenge to do her justice with words, although Jeannine Amber does a great job of explaining Winnie’s impact on the general population in her Women’s Health April 2023 interview Winnie Harlow Wants To Be More Than Just Your Role Model. Amber and Winnie go deep into how she maintains her extraordinal physique and warm spirit.
Between Daniella’s unique persona as a photographer/model and Winnie in all her glory, we’re damn lucky this duo and their team didn’t cause a major earthquake in the desert.
I hope Winnie won’t be cross with me for saying this, but when I saw her images, I thought they were primordial. We know that humans lived in Joshua well over 15,000 years ago — a group of hunter-gathers known as the Pinto Culture. The park's oldest rocks, Pinto Gneiss among them, are 1.7 billion years old.
When Daniella Midenge photographed Jennifer Lopez for Allure Magazine’s 30th Anniversary cover story, it was clear that they shared some kind of cosmic energy. J. Lo had a daring pixie cut to celebrate her 52 birthday, and the two femmes delivered a supercharged, sexy and sensual photoshoot.
Daniella excels at putting her foot on the pedal when photographing women. She renders them as 10-alarm fires who even Pope Francis would invite to dinner. Midenge makes ‘sexy’ very respectable — and that is a precious gift to the women she photographs.
