With her impossibly flawless skin and expressive gaze, South Korean actress and Dolce&Gabbana global beauty ambassador Moon Ga-young is every bit the modern muse. In this exclusive beauty spread, she transforms from demure ingénue to high-drama heroine, capturing the many moods of a woman who owns her allure. Shot against a backdrop inspired by Il Gattopardo, the iconic 1963 Italian film that shaped the maison’s romantic codes, the shoot is a masterclass in cinematic sensuality and unapologetic glamour.
From a fresh-faced glow created with the Rose Glow Cushion to a bold red pout courtesy of the Everkiss Liquid Lipstick in Devotion, each look evokes a different facet of Ga-young’s beauty—refined, radiant, and irresistibly confident. Whether it’s a crisp white cat eye or a glossy mauve lip, the message is clear: Make-up isn’t just enhancement, it’s expression.
Here, the star shows us how to master the art of transformation—one swipe of lipstick, one flick of liner at a time.
