“It’s such an iconic brand and Karl is a genius, and I’ve been admiring everything he’s done since I was a little girl, so it’s such a pleasure working with him," Cruz told WWD. "He’s like the king of fashion and we had a really, really interesting photo shoot, so to be in front of his camera is an adventure."
She's in good company. In partnering with Chanel, the 44-year-old joins a string of admired actresses including Kristen Stewart, Julianne Moore, Keira Knightley and, most recently, Margot Robbie.

It's not her first foray into the fashion world, either, having previously designed a handbag for Loewe and launched her own underwear line with her sister, in partnership with Agent Provocateur.
