You don’t have to be a 20-something model to look pitch perfect in Vuitton. Cinema icon Catherine Deneuve is a regular in Ghesquière’s front row and has been a vocal admirer of his talents since the beginning of his career.

One of the original Ghesquière girls, Charlotte Gainsbourg has been working with the designer since his days at Balenciaga. A master of the done-yet-undone look that has come to define modern French style, Gainsbourg makes even the most elaborate ensembles seem effortless. Her faultless cultural pedigree, art house filmography, and unstudied nonchalance set the standard by which other muses are judged.

As an actress and photographer, Doona Bae has been working with Vuitton in some capacity since Ghesquière became creative director. Bae’s role on the Netflix hit Sense8 and in films by Lana and Andy Wachowski introduced her to Western audiences, but she’s been a major star in Korea since the ’90s.

Thanks to his disarming personality and propensity for a good front row moment, Jaden Smith became a style star without even really trying. Smith posed right alongside the models in the brand’s Spring campaign.

A writer, director, musician, and frequent subject of photography legend Nan Goldin, Joana Preiss is the kind of multifaceted talent that Ghesquière gravitates toward.

The latest actress to be named as an official Vuitton ambassador, Léa Seydoux checks all the right boxes. Gamine, sexy, and a master of her craft, Seydoux moves from Bond movies to French features by Benoît Jacquot with ease. Next up? Starring in a film from fellow Vuitton campaign star Xavier Dolan.

A grande dame of Hong Kong cinema, Maggie Cheung is one of the world’s most respected actresses. Though largely retired from acting—these days, she focuses on music and philanthropy—Cheung is still an icon for her work with directors Wong Kar Wai and Olivier Assayas. Frequently spotted in Vuitton while performing, Cheung is a stealth brand ambassador who always delivers.

Though she’s been the face of Vuitton since before Ghesquière’s appointment, Michelle Williams exemplifies the kind of indie darling–meets–fashion extrovert sensibility that unites Ghesquière’s Hollywood stars.

In the past year, Selena Gomez has made the transition from teen pop star to maturing pop star, and Vuitton has played an essential role in that journey.

Though clad in Kim Jones’s wares for the latest Vuitton menswear ads, Xavier Dolan fits right in with the Ghesquière gang—he was front and center at the brand’s Spring ’16 show looking as dapper as ever.
