Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has been announced as the face of fashion house Chanel.

23-year-old Kristen was seated front row at the Chanel Métiers D’Art Paris-Dallas show in Dallas, Texas last night when the news became public knowledge.

She wore high-waisted orange leather trousers and a cropped top from the spring/summer 2014 Chanel show.

Kristen first met Karl Lagerfeld, the head designer at Chanel, in January 2012 during a photo shoot in Paris when she was photographed in Chanel Couture.

This is not the first time Kristen has been linked to a haute couture fashion house for she recently appeared in Balenciaga’s Florabotanica campaign.
