Lots of 15-year-olds get jobs, but usually not like this. Willow Smith -- daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith -- has been named as the new face of fashion label Chanel.

The news was announced at Chanel's Fall/Winter 2016 show in Paris on Tuesday. The teenager, who was accompanied by her mother, also boasted about the development on Instagram:

"I feel like there is so much creativity going on that I want to inject some of my ideas and some of my energy into the brand," Smith told Teen Vogue backstage at the fashion show. "Because I feel like there's a lot of things that come from youth nowadays that need to be expressed and amplified to the world."
