"With her modern, magnetic beauty and free spirit, Stewart appears in a series of portraits embodying various facets of the contemporary Chanel woman," the brand said in a statement.

Famed fashion photographer Mario Testino shot the black-and-white ads. Stewart previously modeled for Chanel in 2013, and walked again for the brand in a casino-themed show in July.

"I need a black eyeliner, it would be weird without that," the star said of her beauty routine in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar. "But I either like being really sexy or insanely androgynous. I'm not great at applying makeup myself."

"I don't like having nice hair, ever," she added. "There's something about it that pushes me over into feeling like I'm wearing a costume. So long as I can have my hair the way it normally is, then I can do everything else full on."

Stewart is best known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight movies, and portrayed Chanel founder Coco Chanel in Karl Lagerfeld's short film Once and Forever last year. She will next star in the drama Certain Women with Michelle Williams and Laura Dern.
