Vanessa Paradis is in For Miu Miu and so is Scuba Diving

Vanessa_miumiubag

Vanessa Paradis is officially in as Miu Miu's latest face (you've probably already seen the ads in your favourite fashion mag), replacing Kirsten Dunst. The campaigns are shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, so we've got the same rich hued, dramatic feel with a different porcelain face and new clothes which are now 'scuba inspired'. You read right. The bowling bag would be very cool, as an actual bowling bag (until your ball fell through the bottom).

I love Vanessa, and she looks fantastic here. But I have to say I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was the most fitting choice, she's totally Miu Miu (at least she was at the time). She made sense of the brand. 

If you ever wanted to know what Vanessa Paradis' jawline looks like from every conceivable angle, this campaign is for you (from MiuMiu.com:
