As the festive season approaches, Bette Franke radiates celebratory zest, and ELLE Germany showcases this allure in its December 2025 issue. The Dutch model embodies the spirit of festive attire in a vibrant series captured by photographer Andreas Ortner.
Featured on the cover, Bette dons a beautifully ruffled Dior Haute Couture gown that flows gracefully, reminiscent of gentle winter sunlight. The gown combines structured folds with a light, airy vibe, evoking a whimsical, almost frosted look. Accentuated by a striking Dior High Jewelry necklace, this outfit epitomizes holiday sophistication, striking a balance between dramatic flair and effortless elegance.
Emphasizing the seasonal sparkle, her styling includes chandelier-like necklaces, vibrant brooches, and ruby-hued cocktail rings that create eye-catching contrast against the soft palettes of her dresses. Every piece of jewelry appears carefully selected to enhance the celebration without overpowering the attire.
Hairstylist Oliver Lebrun maintains a polished aesthetic with a sleek, twisted bun, adding a contemporary holiday touch. Makeup artist Thomas Lorenz enhances the look with fresh, radiant skin, a soft blush, and a warm glow, perfectly suited for the winter season. The production by RCP Berlin lends a refined atmosphere that complements the festive fashion theme.
Bette invigorates each frame, turning every outfit into an occasion to revel in—capturing the essence of soft glam, elegant sparkle, and high-fashion holiday cheer.
