You know you’re hot when you’re pulling endorsements from Madonna.

Lara Stone, who replaced the Material Girl as the face of Louis Vuitton this season, has been tapped as the spokesmodel for Prada’s Infusion d’Iris scent. The 26 year-old Dutch-born beauty will take model Sasha Pivovarova’s place as face of the refreshing citrus-floral fragrance, reports Style.com.

And the ad campaign does not disappoint.

It was shot by renowned photographer Steven Meisel, who has crafted many of Prada’s sensual ads.

The rising star is also the face of the Versus by Versace fragrance, and has been spotted walking the runway for Chanel, Givenchy and Stella McCartney. Funny enough, Stone is known for her shaky runway walk; the 5’10 model wears an unusually small size seven shoe for her height, and often has to make due with the floppy size ten sample heels used at fashion shows.

We’re guessing it’s going be a great year for Lara Stone.
