Sara Sampaio takes center stage on the cover of Behind the Blinds Fall/Winter 2025 issue with a presence that is equal parts fierce and playful. Photographed by David Roemer, she wears a shaggy faux fur coat by Zadig & Voltaire that feels instantly retro yet entirely modern. The energy is dramatic, unapologetic, and completely magnetic.
Inside the editorial, Sara experiments with identity and transformation. Her hair changes from bombshell blonde to electric pink and then back to her signature dark strands. Each shift tells a story, turning hair into a tool for expression rather than just style.
Stylist Aryeh Lappin blends rebellion with polish. Tartan skirts meet sock-and-loafer combinations while floor-length black gowns bring unexpected twists. The wardrobe feels downtown cool with a high-fashion sensibility, playful but intentional.
Hair stylist Gonn Kinoshita and makeup artist Deanna Hagan balance extremes of beauty. Minimal, clean looks shift seamlessly into smoky, sultry moods. The editorial moves through energy and attitude, at times sultry, at times playful, always commanding attention.
Footwear, layers, and textures carry as much voice as the hair and makeup. Every piece feels part of a larger story, and Sara inhabits it fully. She brings charisma and confidence that make the editorial feel alive rather than staged.
This issue is about more than fashion. It’s about storytelling through style, about transformation, and about embracing boldness without compromise. Sara Sampaio embodies all of it, turning Behind the Blinds into a cinematic experience of glamour, edge, and personality.
