Quvenzhané Wallis is making history yet again and this time in the fashion world.

The ten-year-old “Beasts of the Southern Wild” actress was the youngest Oscar nominee of all time and now she landed a gig as the face of Armani Junior; she’s the youngest child star to be named the face of a major luxury brand.

Aramni front man Giorgio Armani told The Hollywood Reporter, “Quvenzhane is so talented, despite her young age. Her kindness, curiosity and openness toward others really struck me, as they are all traits I admire.”

He continued, “It is for this very reason that I wanted her to be the face of Armani Junior. With her insatiable energy, Quvenzhane made the clothing come alive, interpreting it in her own singular way.”

Wallis is equally as excited to work with the brand. She told THR, “I’m so happy to be chosen by Mr. Armani to be his ambassador for Armani Junior. I felt the same excitement when I got cast for a major film. Me? Wow! I was honored to wear his custom gown to the Oscars. It made me feel like a princess.”

The “Annie” actress continued, “When I saw Mr. Armani’s Prive show in New York, the dresses were so pretty … I had too many favorites. Afterwards when I met him, I realized Mr. Armani is such a nice man. I liked that he was so thoughtful. It’s fun to wear Armani Junior since I really like the clothes. It’s young. It’s cool. My friends are going to want to borrow all my clothes.”
