Miley Cyrus new face of Marc Jacobs SS14
IT WAS one of the better-kept Hollywood secrets - Miley Cyrus has appeared in her first high fashion campaign as the face of Marc Jacobs' Spring Summer 2014 collection.
IT WAS certainly one of the better-kept Hollywood secrets - Miley Cyrus has appeared in her first high fashion campaign as the face of Marc Jacobs' Spring Summer 2014 collection.
The move was so low-profile, in fact, that it seems to have been spotted by editorial staff at Nylon magazine as they were perusing through their February edition.
OMG, guys! @MileyCyrus just landed the most major fashion campaign. See it in all its glory here: http://t.co/hOP7IbfGQZ

In one of the images, Cyrus is seen sporting burgundy tailored shorts, a frilled navy jacket and some pretty impressive embellished shoes as she stares into the distance, surrounded by other equally-brooding models.
Following in the footsteps of women like Helena Bonham-Carter, Dakota Fanning and Victoria Beckham, the campaign shouldn't come as too much of a shock - Cyrus is, after all, a very public Marc Jacobs fan.
In her younger days she was often snapped touting a Marc Jacobs handbag, and is a regular at his runway shows. The floor-length fishnet gown she wore to last year's punk-themed Metropolitan Museum Of Art ball was Marc Jacobs, and she wore Marc Jacobs again to the 2013 Fashion Group International Night Of Stars Gala.
"I work a lot with Marc Jacobs," she told Hunger TV last year. "He kind of brought me into fashion when I was 16, that was when I started being around him and just learning from him. He let me inspire some of his pieces and now I feel like it's just about having the right people around you," she said.
The love is clearly reciprocal - aside from this campaign, Cyrus posed naked for one of Jacobs' skin cancer awareness t-shirts, and champions the Marc by Marc Jacobs gay marriage t-shirt.
We think Miley, all long legs and pouty lips, was the perfect choice as the rep for Jacobs' collection, and it will only be a matter of time before she becomes a regular on the style circuit. But what do you think? Tell us below.
