The Sochi 2014 Ambassador programme welcomed three new members today, who will each become a ‘face’ and key advocate of Russia’s first Winter Games.

Special diplomas were presented to top Russian fashion model, Natalia Vodianova, who has fronted campaigns for Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton and Chanel, and is also a keen philanthropist; legendary Cross-Country skier and quadruple Paralympic champion Sergei Shilov; and singer Diana Gurtskaya.

Rumours have been circulating for a while now that Natalia Vodianova has been lined up as the new face of YSL. Now we can reveal that not only are the rumours true, but that she has also landed two other major campaigns for next season.

It seems that the Russian beauty is quite in demand on the Spring 2010 ad campaign circuit. She is set to replace 1990’s super Christy Turlington as the face of Yves Saint Laurent, and will apparently also star as the face of next season’s Givenchy ads. Plus, she has been signed up by friend Stella McCartney to front the stylish British brand after she made her only catwalk appearance in September for the label.

And there’s more. Natalia will continue to be the face of Guerlain, will model the much coveted lingerie that she designs for French favourite Etam and will also be the face of Calvin Klein fragrances.

With two days off, the weekends are prime time for gossip to begin. So when Monday morning rolls around, everyone’s itching to discuss mounting rumors, and today’s just as chatty as any other: The Imagist is reporting that Natalia Vodianova’s set to star in a Spring 2010 campaign for a blue chip brand.

Of course we’re pondering just like everyone else. One more hint alludes that she’ll be posing alongside one of her good friends…another icon.

Already Louis Vuitton is out since Lara Stone has been named the face of that campaign, Karlie Kloss wil model for Dior, Chanel chose Claudia Schiffer and Freja Beha Erichsen, while Dolce & Gabbana reportedly scooped up Madonna. It’s not Versace, since new darling Georgia May Jagger was just confirmed.

During the Spring shows, Natalia only walked for Stella McCartney, but she’s already confirmed for the Yves Saint Laurent campaign. So just which other campaign will she be adding to the list this season?

JUST SUPER: Stefano Pilati has been on a major model kick for Yves Saint Laurent’s campaigns and has yet to exhaust the pool of enduring fashion faces. Rumor has it Natalia Vodianova is the latest top mannequin to do the honors, posing for photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin under Pilati’s direction for spring and summer’s ad campaign.

A new story and a new Christmas tale, illustrated – as before – by Princess Natalia. This time, she was proclaimed Empress!

A tribute to the femme-enfant, so wonderfully interpreted by Romy Schneider in Sissi: The Young Empress. A tribute also to history: Guerlain fondly remembers being distinguished as the very official and exclusive “Her Majesty Empress Eugenia’s patented Perfumer” in 1853. Seems like only yesterday!

In the 21st century, inspiration from the past and from all things exotic is the fuel of creation. We continue to like opulence, but in a more balanced way. Splendour is underlined with humour: while jewels bedazzle with their brilliance, the cascading rivers of diamonds may not come from Place Vendôme!

The nobility of precious stones and fabrics is enhanced with the elegance of luminous, delicately scintillating makeup. The ingredients used to achieve it are at the leading edge of sophistication, combining shades of gold with the finest powders and easy-to-apply textures, for the best possible results. Our Empress may thus apply her own makeup, without the help of a maid or… a makeup artist. A dreamy modern beauty who plays with makeup to feel sublime, an evening, a night… for a lifetime.

Hot on the heels of her collaboration with Etam, Natalia Vodianova will design a collection for New York knitwear label Lutz and Patmos.

No clues yet as to what her designs will look like, but we’re expecting a pretty/edgy mix of her signature boho-eclectic style and Lutz and Patmos’ modern aesthetic.

Natalia follows Kirsten Dunst and Jane Birkin who have also designed for Lutz and Patmos.

The pre-spring collection should debut at the end of this year.

7. Natalia Vodianova
$5.5 Million

Vodianova is one of the clearest examples of rags to riches: She was raised in an impoverished family in Russia before becoming an international model. In addition to her work for Calvin Klein fragrance Guerlain and jeweler Jacob & Co., the 27-year-old signed a three-year contract with Etam. She is the brand’s ambassador and will also design a collection each season. She runs the Naked Heart Foundation, a charity that raises money to provide playgrounds in Russia.
