She was the envy of every woman when she bagged Hollywood bachelor Bradley Cooper, and now it seems Suki Waterhouse is the envy of every model after being named the new face of Burberry’s latest perfume Brit Rhythm.
Following in the footsteps of fellow British models Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne, Suki fronts the new Burberry ad campaign as the face of the brand’s first female fragrance since taking its beauty business in-house in April 2013.
The model-cum-actress shows off her rock chic side in the Brit Rhythm advert in which she stars along side British musician George Barnett of These New Puritans. In the sultry black and white shoot, Suki, who is styled like an edgy Brigette Bardot with tousled blonde locks and eyes rimmed with heavy eyeliner, wears Burberry’s most lust-worthy S/S14 piece – a leather, studded biker jacket – while getting up close and personal with Pixie Geldof’s beau.

The fragrance, which also comes with a men’s version, is feminine with a rock ‘n’ roll twist. There’s notes of lavender, intoxicating orange blossom and a vetiver baseline. We think it still errs on the feminine side.
The Brit Rhythm ad campaign is set to further launch Suki’s blossoming career, which started when she was 16 after being spotted in a London Pub – how very British. We can see why patriotic Christopher Bailey chose her for his campaign. By the time Suki was 19 she was fronting lingerie ads for M&S and has since modelled for alice + olivia, H&M, Pepe Jeans and Coast. We think things are hotting for Suki in 2014 in her career and, obviously, her love life.
