In the last few days we’ve seen the return of Gemma Ward, Freja Beha, and even the late Marilyn Monroe. But the award for most unforeseen it girl of this campaign season has be eminent American writer Joan Didion — who has just been tapped as the new face of Céline. We dare you to think of a more unassumingly daunting pair than Didion and Phoebe Philo. Fangirl over the Juergen Teller-lensed ad above.

It’s not like Didion ever went away. The living legend is an immutable force of both words and clothes who’s appeal hasn’t lulled in over 50 years. But she’s definitely having something of a renaissance.  There’s even a Didion documentary being funded through Kickstarter this year.  This latest achievement is just yet another reminder that she’s timeless like a generously cut knit.
