Twilight superstar Kristen Stewart has signed a deal with luxury fashion brand Balenciaga to become the new face of their yet-to-be-released fragrance ‘Prestige’. Due to go on sale in the autumn, the dark and edgy Balenciaga aesthetic seems to meld well with Kristen, whose raven locks and off beat style choices have made her an unusual style icon.

Kristen recently spoke to WWD about becoming the fashion label’s latest muse, saying: “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… The brand is just cool.”

Kristen’s most notable appearance in a Balenciaga number was of course at the New Moon photo call in Madrid; the edgy short dress became one of her greatest fashion hits.

Balenciaga’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere also revealed why he thinks Kristen is the perfect match, stating that her ‘unique sensibility’ makes for a perfect fit. We certainly can’t wait to see the ad campaign come autumn. We predict something edgy, dark and dare we say it, slightly vampish in nature?
