Breaking Dawn Star Kristen Stewart to Front Balenciaga's Second Perfume Release

by Sarah Macrae 2

Breaking Dawn star Kristen Stewart has just landed her first beauty gig, fronting the latest Balenciaga perfume. Speaking of the brand, Kristen told WWD: "Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognised and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now." Nicolas Ghesquières, the creative director of the fashion house, said the 21-year-old was the perfect choice to front the brand's second scent as she has a "unique sensibility and intelligence." Kristen is the second ambassador for the brand's fragrances, joining Charlotte Gainsbourg. Further details are scarce but the perfume is reportedly due to launch later this year.
