Lily Rose Depp is the new Chanel face, and the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis made her parents proud as, at 16, she posed and paraded in a video and photo for the divine designer, reported Us Weekly.
As the ambassador for the Pearl eyewear collection, Lily-Rose wore seriously striking shades. Depp complemented those eyeglasses with a Chanel outfit, then proved that her eyes are the mirror of her sweet soul by doing a move worthy of an experienced supermodel as she tossed off the shades to show off those big brown peepers.
For proud parents Johnny and Vanessa, it’s clear that Lily-Rose is a star in the making, reported People.
Depp’s photo shoot was done by Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld.
“Lily-Rose is stunning, she’s a young girl from a new generation with all the qualities of a star,” praised Lagerfeld.
Chanel brand ambassador since 1990, Depp’s mom Paradis, now 42, also is a close pal of Karl’s after serving as the face of both the Coco perfume and Girl Chanel handbag campaigns.
Vanessa was there when Lily-Rose debuted her modeling skills at the Fall-Winter 2015-2016 Haute Couture show. Depp donned a headband and Chanel strapless black velvet dress, playing at the craps table as part of the unusual theme. Both Lily-Rose and Paradis were beautiful in bobs.
In addition to the fame of Johnny Depp’s daughter, Daniel Day-Lewis’ son Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis, 20, showed off his modeling skills at the same show.
As the Inquisitr reported, Lily-Rose also made her sense of humor evident in her social media shares. Depp wrote her thanks to Chanel for allowing her to pose with a similar stunning model.
“all in, sir! Thank you @chanelofficial!!!!” she wrote in describing the picture showing a male model with the 16-year-old.

In addition to modeling, Lily-Rose is set to co-star in Kevin Smith’s Yoga Hosers, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
With dad Johnny playing a detective, 16-year-old Depp will use those Chanel modeling skills to play a 7-11 store-style clerk along with Smith’s daughter, Harley Quinn.
The plot features two teen yoga fanatics and involves sci-fi-themed characters, including an ancient evil force.
“Their onscreen chemistry comes courtesy of a lifelong friendship: Harley and Lily have known each other since first grade,” said Smith of Lily-Rose and Harley Quinn.
