AceShowbiz - Model and actress Cara Delevingne has dared to bare all for the new Balmain spring 2019 campaign.
In one provocative topless shot, released on Wednesday, January 30, the "Suicide Squad" star, who opened the Balmain spring 2019 show in Paris in October (18), strikes a pose for photographer Dan Beleiu with designer Olivier Rousteing standing behind her and cupping her breasts.
"It references all the iconic album covers of the Nineties, which were big pop culture moments of our childhood," he tells WWD.
"The campaign shows the reunion of two skin tones, one black - or mixed race - and one white. Choosing to pose naked was all about authenticity. We're going back to basics: I wanted something pure and transparent."
In another image, obtained by WWD, the actress is seen entirely naked, reclining in front of a huge Balmain 'B' logo.
"I love her so much that I don't want to see any clothes on her," Rousteing adds. "Her gaze is so strong and magnetic, it's nearly an item of clothing in itself."
The full spring 2019 campaign will be revealed online on Thursday, January 31. It marks the second time Delevingne has posed for Balmain - she also fronted a brand ad in 2014.
