Bette Franke Shines in Festive Dior Couture for ELLE Germany’s December Issue

Bette Franke stuns in festive Dior couture and glittering jewelry for ELLE Germany’s December 2025 holiday fashion spread.

Bette Franke is stepping into the holiday season in full celebration mode, and ELLE Germany captured it all with pure party glamour. For the magazine’s December 2025 issue, the Dutch model brings the magic of festive dressing to life in a series of radiant looks photographed by Andreas Ortner.

Gracing the cover, Bette wears a romantic ruffled Dior Haute Couture gown that moves like soft winter light. The dress mixes sculptural folds with airy texture, creating a dreamy, almost snow-kissed effect. Paired with a statement Dior High Jewelry necklace, the look reads as holiday elegance through a couture lens — dramatic yet effortlessly refined.

The styling leans straight into the season’s sparkle. She’s adorned with chandelier necklaces, bold brooches, and ruby cocktail rings that add vivid pops of color against the soft tones of her gowns. Each accessory feels chosen to celebrate the moment rather than overwhelm it.

Hairstylist Oliver Lebrun keeps the palette polished with a sleek, twisted bun, giving the shoot a sense of modern holiday sophistication. Makeup artist Thomas Lorenz complements the styling with fresh, luminous skin, a hint of flush, and a glow that feels warm and winter-ready. The production by RCP Berlin rounds out the shoot with a clean, elevated mood perfect for the festive fashion issue.

Bette brings life to every frame, making each outfit feel like a reason to celebrate—soft glam, refined sparkle, and couture-level holiday magic.
