Lily James is at 'Peace' in nothing but perfume for Burberry


Lily James shed the iconic Burberry trench coat for the brand's sensual new perfume, My Burberry Black, in one of her first big campaigns, out today.

The War and Peace and Cinderella actress is mostly known for buttoned-up roles, but was plenty comfortable in her own skin for the risqué campaign, shot by Mario Testino and set to I Put A Spell on You.

"It was quite liberating to break away from the stereotypes that people may have for me, and say, ‘well this is who I am,'" James told The Telegraph.

James admitted that the idea of working with Burberry initially was “quite intimidating.”

"The things that Burberry do really are ingrained in their brand, you saw it with Kate (Moss) and Cara (Delevingne), there’s a family feel to what they do.”

Though it seems the actress could easily add slash model to her resume.
