Rich greens, teals, and abstract animal prints mingle with pieces of chunky statement jewelry and lush headgear, all accentuated by a seriously smoky eye, deep red lips, and a seriously wild blonde mane.

Lara Stone has been tapped as the new model for luxury lingerie and swimwear brand Eres. Stone, who is appearing in several spring-summer 2009 ad campaigns including Givenchy, Hugo Boss and Jean Paul Gaultier, is under a one-year contract with Chanel-owned Eres, and will be featured in the fall-winter 2009 campaign for lingerie in the August edition of fashion magazines in France, Italy, Spain and the U.S. Photographed by Ian Welters, who has done a number of celebrity covers for Elle magazine, Stone will also be featured in Eres’ lingerie and swimwear campaigns for 2010. Valerie Delafosse, creative director of Eres, said the inspiration for the fall-winter campaign was “German Expressionism with a lot of dark colors like faux noir.

In one of the most endearingly random developments perhaps ever Lara Stone’s youthful exuberance is pitted against actor Morgan Freeman’s sagely presence in the latest US Vogue. Bruce Weber photographs the pair as they travel through the streets of New Orleans. How did Miss Stone take to the Big Easy? Describing her experiences the Dutch beauty states simply “It was such a cool environment.” From the looks of these pictures it would seem she had a wonderful time – does the Freeman / Stone match up work for you? Will Lara turn up in The Dark Knight sequel? Only time will tell…
