Bette Franke is entering the holiday season with a flair for celebration, beautifully captured by ELLE Germany in its December 2025 edition. The Dutch model embodies the enchantment of festive fashion through a collection of dazzling outfits, all skillfully photographed by Andreas Ortner.
On the magazine’s cover, Bette dazzles in a romantic, ruffled gown from Dior Haute Couture, which flows gracefully like gentle winter light. The dress combines sculptural elements with a light, airy fabric, summoning a fairytale, snow-dusted ambiance. Complemented by a striking Dior High Jewelry necklace, this ensemble exudes festive sophistication framed through the lens of haute couture—showcasing both dramatic flair and effortless elegance.
The styling embraces the season’s shimmering allure, featuring chandelier necklaces, eye-catching brooches, and ruby-studded cocktail rings that infuse vibrant hues into the soft palettes of her dresses. Each piece feels intentionally selected to enhance the moment without overshadowing it.
Oliver Lebrun, the hairstylist, opts for a sleek twisted bun that conveys a sense of contemporary holiday elegance. Meanwhile, makeup artist Thomas Lorenz enhances the looks with radiant skin, a touch of blush, and a warm glow ideal for winter festivities. The production by RCP Berlin contributes to an elevated atmosphere, perfectly suited for this celebratory fashion issue.
Bette Franke infuses vibrancy into every photograph, making each ensemble feel worthy of celebration—showcasing soft glam, polished sparkle, and the enchanting essence of couture appropriate for the holiday season.
