Red Hot
20 August 2020
Frankie Hollywood strides across a sun-scorched Mediterranean poolside in head-to-toe red that would stop traffic on a runway. A scarlet sports bra with a mesh band beneath the bust pairs with textured red leggings that cling to her athletic legs, and she is barefoot on the warm grass beside a sparkling turquoise pool. Her dirty blonde hair hangs in loose, tousled waves, the roots darker and the lengths kissed honey-gold by the relentless sun overhead. A clear blue sky fills the frame above the green tree line, and the whole scene burns with colour: the crimson of her outfit, the cobalt of the sky, the jade of the pines. Frankie tugs at the straps of her sports bra from below, offering a low-angle view of her tanned decolletage against that endless blue, her expression set and intense. Red hot barely covers it.
The sports bra comes away and Frankie stands poolside, topless, the red leggings still hugging her hips while the warm light sculpts the gentle swell of her small, pert breasts. She runs one hand through her windswept hair, chin tilted upward, completely at ease under the open sky. The leggings follow, and by the later frames Frankie sits nude on the grass beside a terracotta planter, knees drawn up, one hand resting against her cheek, a thigh tattoo peeking into view. The pool shimmers behind her and the sun is getting lower, casting long shadows across the lawn. She looks directly into the camera with a gaze that is both vulnerable and fierce, a woman entirely comfortable in her own skin and utterly magnetic in nothing at all.
