Perfectly executed is the contrast between the two stars of this shoot by Steven Klein: Crystal Renn, at times looking wild-eyed like a woman possessed, has dishevelled clothes and messy wet hair.

Looks like Miranda Kerr‘s modelling ways are rubbing off on her husband. Not only is he one of the luckiest men around but he’s also landed a fashion ad campaign to boot.

Update: Lara indulges in all seven of the deadly sins in a sensual shoot from the issue photographed by Steven Klein, and styled of course by Carine Roitfeld. View the full shoot. Note: NSFW.
