Lily-Rose Depp is only 17, sure, but with Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis as parents and Karl Lagerfeld as a close family friend, her style is less student and more 100% Chanel. As a face of the brand's No.5 L'Eau, Lily-Rose has unrestricted access to Chanel samples and so has almost exclusively worn Karl's designs since making her first public appearance at the Chanel show (naturally) in March 2015.
The breakout actress splits her time between Paris and Los Angeles and therefore has the French style thing down. "Chanel has always been part of my life," she recently told Vogue. "My mom has worked with them since she was 18, and I've gone to the store with her since I was little. There are pictures of me literally in diapers wearing her Chanel pumps. I met Karl when I was eight and I had horrible side bangs—like a Donald Trump comb-over."
She gives Chanel an iGeneration makeover styling the house's signature classics such as tweed, pearls and little black dresses in a distinctly teenage fashion. At the Cannes Film Festival, for example, she wore a Chanel hoodie, and she has been known to wear runway pieces with chokers, crop tops and T-shirts.
