    Balenciaga has unveiled its first image for the highly-anticipated fragrance campaign starring Kristen Stewart

    Balenciaga has unveiled the first image from its highly-anticipated campaign for new fragrance Florabotanica, starring Kristen Stewart.

    Kristen has revealed that she deliberately didn't try to be sexy for the campaign, she told WWD: 'I think that's kind of perfect for this particular ad. Usually, a fragrance ad would definitely be (sexy).'

    'When I first stood there, I was like, "OK, do you want me to show the curves of the dress? Do you want me to stand like this? Like that?" And they were like, "Just be comfortable."'
