Element/Principle: Pattern
The various patterns on the person draws the eye towards the figure, starting with the red dress and going up to the ambiguous mass of various patterns above it.  Including the other dresses and the purple dotted bag to the side, there are so many patterns present that they are a staple of the photograph.

Element/Principle: Emphasis
The bright red of the person's jacket draws your eye directly to them, and with their hand up near their face (hands being something that humans often look at first), all attention is drawn towards their bright white mask and the marker that touches it.
