Bollywood Actress Priyanka Chopra is the New Guess Girl [PHOTOS]

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has been announced the new face of American clothing line brand, Guess, in what has been called a historic change in the brand's ad campaigns.

"We're so excited to announce our gorgeous new #GUESSGirl @priyankachopra," the poular brand wrote on Twitter.

A former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra is the first Indian as well as the first South Asian Guess Girl, a title earlier held by celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, Kate Upton, Claudia Schiffer, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.

The 31-year-old actress is also the first non-white model for the brand's new ad campaign, which was shot by rock singer and photographer, Bryan Adams.

Adams' black and white photo shoot shows Chopra posing at a Mediterranean villa. She looks glamorous in the brand's form-fitting dresses as her voluminous hairdo only ups her glam quotient.

Priyanka Chopra, who won critical acclamation for playing an autistic girl in 2012 Indian romantic comedy-drama film, Barfi, puts up a mesmerising gesture in the photos, flaunting her wrist's tattoo that reads: "Daddy's lil girl."

"I'm so proud to be the next #GuessGirl.It's a legacy of beauty for 30 years..Thank u @bryanadams and @GUESS for making this such a fab shoot," the actress wrote on Twitter.

Priyanka Chopra, who is also a singer, said she felt honoured to be the face of Guess.

"Being the next Guess girl was something that I would have never thought of, but when I met Paul [Marciano, Guess creative director], he was like, 'You're it. It has to be you.' I'm like their first brown model," she told WWD.

"For a global fashion brand, for them to move their campaign into a global space, for me it's an honour," the onetime winner of the National Film Award for Best Actress for her 2008 film, Fashion, said.
