10 Fashion Cameos From Our Favourite Actresses

As the last of the SS16 ads are unveiled and we stop beginning our emails with "Happy New Year," we’re spending much time discussing our most-loved spreads of the season. From Balmain’s revival of the “supers” – Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer – who don’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day, and Moschino’s car wash extravaganza starring Lexi Boling, Joan Smalls and Fei Fei Sun, to Alessandro Michele’s eccentric 70s-driven Gucci party in Berlin, the latest collections have given us much to get excited about.

But when it comes to the season's standout, it’s Balenciaga. Likely to be Alexander Wang’s last ever campaign for the house (cry), it features both his muse Anna Ewers, and his BFF Zoe Kravitz – the latter of whom was one of five actresses to walk in his last ever runway show. Of course, Wang’s not the only designer to cast an actress as the star of a fashion campaign. Here, we chart ten of the best.

**Imogen Poots: Miu Miu**
It’s no secret that Miu Miu have a soft spot for actresses. While the likes of Lupita Nyong’o and Elle Fanning have previously graced their campaigns, Miu Miu enlisted Brit-babe Imogen Poots for SS15 wearing a red leather jacket that wouldn’t have looked out of place on Lula Pace Fortune in *Wild at Heart*. With a lead role in punk-rock horror film, *Green Room,* alongside rising actor Callum Turner on the cards for 2016, it’s safe to say you’ll be seeing a lot more of Poots this year.

**Gwendoline Christie: Vivienne Westwood**
As if killer roles in *Game of Thrones*, *Hunger Games* and *Star Wars* weren’t enough, Gwendoline Christie bagged herself a lead in Vivienne Westwood’s AW15 campaign too, shot by none other than Juergen Teller. “In this collection the same suit can be worn by a man and a woman – then I realised Gwendoline would be perfect and would fit the clothes so I asked her to do it. She is such an attractive woman,” Westwood told *Vanity Fair*.

Stacy Martin: Miu Miu

Nymphomaniac -actress-turned-campaign-girl Stacy Martin has appeared in three Miu Miu ads, the most recent of which was for their first ever fragrance in September 2015. Co-starring alongside a black and white kitten named Truman, the Steven Meisel-lensed shoot stands as a firm reminder of Miu Miu’s 20-year strong support of fearless, young, rising talents.

**Emilia Clarke: Dior Jewellery**
Following in the footsteps of Gwendoline Christie, fellow GoT star Emilia Clarke found herself fronting a Dior campaign, as the face of their Rose des Vents fine jewellery collection back in November 2015. Looking ever the English rose with natural hair and classic Dior rouge lips, Clarke is the first non-model to represent the Rose des Vents line.

**Klara Kristin: Saint Laurent**
Following her lead role in boundary pushing director Gaspar Noé’s squirm-worthy, sexually-charged melodrama *LOVE*, 22 year old Copenhagen-born actress Klara Kristin bagged herself a slot in Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent “Surf Sound” resort campaign. Starring alongside fellow actor Jack Kilmer, the pair also walked in the Saint Laurent SS16 menswear show.

**Jessica Lange: Marc Jacobs**
When Marc Jacobs calls you up to star in a beauty campaign shot by David Sims at the age of 64, you know you’ve got a good thing going on. Jessica Lange has exactly that. Having provided the haunting spoken-word voiceover for Jacobs’ AW14 show, his obsession with the award winning actress –renowned for her roles in *King Kong*, *Blue Sky* and most recently, *American Horror Story* – landed her the lead in the first ever Marc Jacobs beauty campaign.

Julie Waters: Burberry

Having re-created the opening scene of Billy Elliot for their 2015 Christmas campaign, it seemed only right that Burberry called upon legendary British actress Julie Walters to star in the festive vid alongside Romeo Beckham, James Corden, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sir Elton John.
