For her Fall 2025 cover story, Rose Byrne revisits a vintage glamour (and frankly, serves a masterclass) that feels both nostalgic and utterly of this moment.
Actors often inhabit their roles so completely that we sometimes forget they are chameleons, capable of a full transformation. For her C Magazine Fall 2025 cover story, Rose Byrne reminds us of this fact, embodying a range of distinct style personas that feel like a journey through fashion history. The editorial is a brilliant tribute to eras past, all while feeling completely of the now.
One look transports us straight to the swinging ’60s. Byrne is captured in a textured, olive-green shift dress with two perfect front pockets. The ensemble is completed with a beautifully tied headscarf, a detail that feels both timelessly chic and a bold statement for a contemporary editorial. Paired with classic black tights and pumps, it’s a masterclass in clean, retro elegance.
But the real magic lies in her ability to flip the script. In another shot, she wears a striking pale yellow coat, styled with an enormous black leather bow around her neck and matching gloves. It’s dramatic, sculptural, and utterly modern. The cover itself—a black turtleneck styled with a sparkling, deconstructed bralette—is a high-fashion move straight off the runways of Paris and Milan. It perfectly encapsulates the editorial’s narrative: a fusion of soft femininity with hard, graphic lines. Her ability to transform for the camera is a testament to her versatility.
