Chanel has unveiled Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose as the face of its new perfume, N.5 L'Eau.

The 16-year-old rising fashion star shared the news bright and early on Monday morning, posting an image of herself kissing a bottle of the fragrance with her glossy hair slicked back into a messy ponytail with a red ribbon.

Gushing about her new role, the muse of Karl Lagerfeld captioned the snap, 'I'm so excited to announce that I am the face of the new Chanel Number 5 L'EAU!'

The fashion house also announced the news on its own Instagram account, posting an image of its model striking a pose beside a rose bush. 

'The Rose of all Roses. Introducing @lilyrose_depp as the new face of N°5 L'EAU, the new N°5. #newchanel5,' it captioned the snap.

Lily was previously unveiled as the face of Chanel's eyewear collection, and her campaign for the the iconic fashion house was rolled out last year.

Not only is the starlet joining the likes of previous big names who have fronted Chanel fragrances - such as Keira Knightley and Gisele Bundchen - but she is also taking after her mother, Vanessa Paradis, who modelled for a Chanel perfume ad in 1991 and was also the face of the brand's Rouge Coco lipstick in 2010.

'A young, up-and-coming actress, Lily-Rose Depp is already the face for the Chanel Pearl eyewear collection launched in September 2015,' read a statement from Chanel about Lily, according to The Telegraph.

'She embodies her generation and its values of freedom and boldness to perfection, bringing to the iconic fragrance of the House her youthful freshness and beauty'.

The model's new campaign will kick off in the fall and have Johan Renck as director.  

It runs in the family: Not only is the starlet joining the likes of previous big names who have fronted Chanel fragrances - such as Keira Knightley and Gisele Bundchen - but she is also taking after her mother, Vanessa Paradis, who was the face of Coco for Chanel (here the mother-daughter duo are pictured in London in 2015)

At just 16 years old, Lily-Rose Depp is fast becoming a fashion favorite. She's already walked in a Chanel show and now she's the face of Chanel!

And Lily-Rose didn't step out in any old Chanel piece for the event, she worked a lilac ruffled dress from the autumn/winter 2015 couture collection. She looked perfect in the one of a kind piece, the pastel hue suiting her English rose complexion to a T.

Of course being couture, this piece won't be available to you, even in stores, so why not take some style inspiration from Lily-Rose and work a pretty purple number this season? We know, pastels are usually reserved for spring, but if Chanel say it's okay then we're all for it!

We love the lace number from Toby Hearts Ginger but the ruffled ones from Missguided and ASOS are spot on!
