The British teenager, who is also the face of jewellery brand Tiffany and Co, will represent Maria Grazia Chiuri’s womenswear collections and Dior’s skincare and make-up ranges.

She wore a Dior dress to the premiere of the new James Bond film “No Time To Die” last month, and the 18-year-old told vogue.co.uk: “Maria Grazia’s work empowers women to feel confident in the iconic Dior cut, which I feel is very unique.

“The sincerity of her approach and the way she turns shows into collective and meaningful events unquestionably influenced me in my choice.”
