Paula Patton is statuesque and soft and contrastingly bold in her latest spread for Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. In the December issue, the Mission Impossible actress photographs mysteriously, doused in embellished gowns and cloaks-giving a classic feel.

The images were captured in downtown L.A. by John Russo and styled by Sally Matthews. Peep more amazing pics below…

Patton will play an operative, Jane Carter, in the upcoming film in the Mission Impossible franchise, Ghost Protocol, alongside Tom Cruise. The film is due in theaters on December 21.
