Yumi Nu is welcoming October with a cottagecore twist—and her latest look is pure magic. The SI Swimsuit model and former cover star posed outdoors in Amagansett, N.Y., channeling ethereal energy in a With Jean set that highlighted her curves and flawless face card.

The look

Nu wore the Silvie Top in white ($144), a sleeveless slim-fit piece featuring a V-neckline and chic front twist. She paired it with the Grace Skirt ($198), a sheer midi-length style crafted from custom hand-drawn crochet lace, finished with contrast fabric panels and a scalloped hem. The elasticated waistband added comfort, while the unlined silhouette made the intricate lacework stand out.

The New Jersey native skipped jewelry, letting the ensemble—and her chiseled bone structure—take center stage. She grounded the romantic white set with the Alohas Sajan Black Leather Boots ($285, currently on sale), a rigid riding-boot-inspired style with distressed leather, chunky proportions and pull tabs at the sides. A timeless shoe staple, the boots added edge to the dreamy outfit.

Styling & glam

Set against a rustic backdrop of an old building and a gravel walkway framed by greenery, the shoot captured peak cottagecore vibes. Nu posed naturally, soaking up the crisp autumn sun.

Her glam was fresh and glowing: a bronzed base, terracotta blush, peachy-taupe glossy lips and feathered brows. The newly-engaged musician wore her long, dark hair loose and straight, keeping the focus on her sculpted features.

The overall effect was a study in contrasts—soft lace with structured boots, ethereal white with rugged textures, delicate details balanced by Nu’s signature confidence. And we’re not surprised at her knack of putting together impeccable outfits that are interesting yet aesthetic—she’s the founder of sustainable, size-inclusive brand Nu22.
