Will Smith’s 15-year-old daughter becomes new face of Chanel (Photos)

Willow Smith, the 15-year-old daughter of the American actor Will Smith, was named on Tuesday as an ambassador for French fashion house Chanel.

The actress and singer, who made her screen debut at seven in the 2007 film I Am Legend that starred her father, was in the front row in Paris on Tuesday to see Chanel's autumn-winter catwalk show with her mother, actress Jada Pinkett Smith.

She posed for the cameras in a black and silver mesh-effect Chanel catsuit before the show outside the Grand Palais in the French capital.

She is the luxury brand's youngest "trendsetter", following Hollywood star Johnny Depp's 16-year-old daughter Lily-Rose who was named a Chanel ambassador in July.

Chanel's designer Karl Lagerfeld said last year he had taken Violette d'Urso, the 15-year-old daughter of his former inspiration Ines de la Fressange, as his latest "muse".
