This Legendary British Actress Is The New Face Of Gucci

Move over Kendall and Gigi. The star of Gucci ’s latest campaign is of a different generation. The fashion house unveiled beautiful photos of their Cruise 2017 collection starring none other than 79-year-old Vanessa Redgrave.

The campaign was shot in Redgrave’s native England, at Chatsworth House. 

Redgrave was first revealed to be part of the campaign earlier this summer when she did a guest takeover of the brand’s Snapchat  account during the shoot to give followers a behind-the-scenes look at the collection.

Gucci ’s creative director Alessandro Michele said the line will be a “love letter to England,” so Redgrave seemed to be the perfect choice. The looks appear to be inspired by a fusion of England’s punk-rock era with more traditional florals, which Redgrave sports. 

Redgrave joins the ranks of other older women who are making their mark in the fashion world , including Iris Apfel, who has modeled for Kate Spade, and Joni Mitchell, who appeared in a campaign for Saint Laurent.

Let’s hear it for the older ladies.
