Nina Dobrev may portray a doe-eyed doppelganger and fangy temptress on The Vampire Diaries each week but, for Nylon magazine’s February 2012 issue, she transforms into a total rodeo darling.
In a fashion spread styled by Michelle Reneau and photographed by Marvin Scott Jarret, Nina mixes “the neon color and shiny metallics of Vegas with a Western vibe. And, even though this is her first solo Nylon cover (usually she’s flanked by her sizzling co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley), Nina proves that even Lone Rangers can lasso up major fun.
