Willow Smith has just gotten the official Karl Lagerfeld endorsement. The 15-year-old, who joins the ranks of Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively, took to Instagram today to announce her new gig as Chanel ambassador. (This *would* definitely be the time to whip your hair back and forth, Willow.)

In a statement, Chanel detailed the affinity the Willow has with the brand: "The young singer, songwriter, actress, and trendsetter has been wearing Chanel for public appearances since 2013 and her first encounter with Karl Lagerfeld was in 2014 when he photographed her for the American magazine V. She was notably present at the Chanel Fall-Winter 2016/17 Ready-to-Wear show presented this morning at the Grand Palais."

Willow Smith: accomplishing more at 15 than we have in a lifetime.
