Margaret Qualley’s Statue of Liberty Style Coup

In one shot, Qualley is the picture of sailor-girl whimsy, wearing a red velvet corset with delicate straps and a pleated, safety-pin-adorned fringe, topped with a crisp white sailor hat. It’s a bold look that feels both historic and thoroughly modern, as if a sailor from a forgotten war film has crash-landed in 2025 with an eye for punk detailing.

Another image finds Qualley striking a more serene pose, reclining elegantly in a metallic silver column dress, the fabric catching the late afternoon sun like liquid. The Statue of Liberty stands in the background, a silent, stoic witness to Qualley’s softer, more romantic interpretation of the city’s spirit.

The energy shifts again for a more intimate shot, where Qualley wears a delicate white bra and high-waisted shorts, complete with a spiky, teal-tipped crown reminiscent of Lady Liberty’s own. Here, Qualley’s expression is direct and intense, the quote “This thing we’ve been sold is love… that’s not love” floating beside her. It’s a juxtaposition of fragile femininity and fierce conviction, a quiet rebellion against the city’s romantic-comedy tropes. She pairs the look with a pair of glossy, knee-high black boots adorned with star cut-outs, a playful and unexpected detail that grounds the ethereal outfit with a touch of rock-and-roll attitude.
