Lily Rose Depp makes modelling debut as the new face of Chanel eyewear

The 16-year-old daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis fronts Karl Lagerfeld's Pearl eyewear campaign

Lily Rose Depp has made her modelling debut in Chanel's latest eyewear campaign – and it comes as no surprise.

The 16-year-old daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp first appeared decked out in Chanel at the Métiers d’Art show earlier this year, taking the fashion world by storm.

She then took part at the star-studded casino staged at the Chanel haute couture show last week in Paris, alongside some of Karl Lagerfeld’s muses including Kristen Stewart, Julianne Moore, Lara Stone and her mother Paradis, who’s been an ambassador for the House since the early nineties.

Shot by Lagerfeld himself, Depp poses wearing a pair of rounded sunglasses embellished with pearls, teamed up with a classic ivory crochet dress, and her already signature blunt bob.

Depp also appeared in rapper Rejjie Snow’s new music video channeling Audrey Hepburn and will play a role in the upcoming Kevin Smith horror film Yoga Hosers.

She has also appeared in an editorial shoot for Australia’s Oyster magazine already, but this is her first big gig.

This is the legendary German designer’s latest effort to target a younger audience, although we’re not sure if all teenagers can afford a pair of sunglasses costing hundreds of pounds - but we sure expect to start seeing her in more high-end fashion campaigns.

"Lily-Rose is stunning, she’s a young girl from a new generation with all the qualities of a star," said Lagerfeld.

The Pearl eyewear collection hits stores in September 2015.
