The Mad Men actress was this morning announced as the face of the 'Get a Life' Palladium collection - with the release of these two beautiful images.

The first shows the redhead modelling the spectacular silver Oak Leaf tiara, and showing off those famous hourglass curves of hers in a draping Vivienne Westwood design.

And never one to take a backseat, the shoot was personally styled by dame Viv herself, alongside her husband Andreas Kronthaler.

'Christina is the embodiment of beauty and we were delighted to have been able to involve her with this new jewellery collection,' says Vivienne.

'Her style is just so complimentary to my designs. She has proved to be the perfect model for the campaign.'

And it seems that Ms Hendricks was equally thrilled to be involved...

'It was a great honour for me to be asked to represent the 'Get a Life' palladium jewellery collection,' says Christina.

'I admire that Vivienne uses her designs to inspire change and the pieces are just so wonderful. The pieces really sparkle under the lights and I cannot wait to wear them on the red carpet.'

Consisting of a mixture of couture and commercial pieces, the 'Get a Life' jewellery range has been crafted from the precious metal palladium - a naturally white, rare metal belonging to the platinum family.

The limited edition collection is available to buy now, in the Vivienne Westwood boutique on Conduit Street, London.
