We're hearing rumblings that Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love's daughter could be the next face of Chanel for 2008. The rumours are rife that the 15-year-old has accepted an offer to be the French house's newest spokesmodel.
Frances, who recently denied dating Jack Osborne, is reported to be "overwhelmed" by the prospect but also looks forward to "what the Chanel experience has to offer."
Her striking features (check out those eyes, click image to enlarge) and youth (Emma Watson has also recently been linked to Chanel) certainly make her a great candidate for the job.
What do you think, is Frances right for Chanel?
should she be a model? not unless she tones up a bit - and loses some weight..
i know a bunch of tubbies will be on me for this, but it's just not healthy for her to be so chubby.. (unless this is just a bad pic.)
I've seen loads of girls that look exactly like this- I'm sorry but model? It may have somehthing to do with her parents...
There is no way she would be chosen if her mum wasn't Courtney Love. Her stiking features are um, big blue eyes, which loads of people have. It'd be nice to be a bigger girl in Chanel adverts, but it'd be nicer still if the reason she's there is that she looks special. There is nothing special about Frances!
Surely Spokesmodel is different than catwalk model? she'll get given clothes to wear at movie premiers, not walking the walk in paris fashion week.
What concerns me most, is not if shes pretty, not if shes fat, but shes a child!! 15 years old for goodness sake!! let kids be kids, i thought Courtney could have wrecked her daughters life alone, never mind with such high-profile helpers.
'Chanel gets sued for childlabour' is not a headline I think we will see though.
She looks terrible in this pic at least. Of course she does not look right for Chanel, she is only getting a chance because she's Kurt Cobain's daughter. I loved Kurt Cobain but I do not think being his daughter should be a passport for whatever she wants to do. Particularly not fashion, look at her she looks like Kelly Osbourne.
Who's the ass that called her fat This whole fat thing has got to stop she is a 15 year old developing child who is exactly the right weight I want the irresponsible fools to stop telling girls thy are fat when there not Her mom was brillant as and actress till she was driven off by Hollywood This child could do well with Mom protecting her and at her side Courtney knows the sharks Frances you'll do well You're adorable Fresh !!!
What a worrying slew of terribly unfeminist comments against a teenage girl.
She's pretty, if you ask me. Everyone seems to be a lot softer on Emma Watson, who only got the Chanel deal because of her success in Harry Potter (yes, that was on her merit so it is indeed different) and because she is thin and more acceptably modelesque.
Cut the snobbery, if she does do this they'll make her look good, just like Agent Provocateur did with Maggie Gyllenhaal, to name one of many similar examples.
Are all of you saying that because she doesn't look anorexic that she isn't good enough to model for Chanel? Boney makes a woman look nothing but hungry with her clothes handing on a framework. Sorry people, some women actually enjoy good eats.
That Yale graduate from America's next top model would be a really interesting face for Channel. She has really round face but takes amazing photos, she was the third person to leave but she had the best photos. Go here to see her pictures... her name is over it and she is the one with the longest face. http://www.topmodelgossip.com/america%E2%80%99s-next-top-model-cycle-9-episode-3-rock-climbing/

She is not fat so i think anyone who has said that she was needs to take a flying leap off a bridge. Your only saying that crap cuz she weights more then 80 lbs unlike most of the models no a days that wont eat for a week.
She has a white trash common look. Would blend in anywhere across the USA. How sad that Chanel would even consider her.
Sorry you all but she is perfectly normal for her age. Mid-teen years for most girls are an uncomfortable, unflattering, and awkward time to go through-thankfully it really is over before too long. I went through it and so did my gorgeous daughter. Frances, concentrate on your education now, that should be priority #1 right now. You have plenty of time to decide what you want to do. If it is modeling, those wonderfully striking eyes will be an asset few other girls will have. Hang in there, you are going to be extremely pretty and the negative people who made negative commments can then eat their words! PS..Some of you writers out there should work on your spelling. It is so bad that it's hard to take what you write seriously.
Just a mom
ok atop being jealous .
MODEL???? FOR CHANEL????? I DON'T THINK SO. I AM NOT KNOCKING HER, SHE IS A BABY STILL.I AM GLAD HER MOTHER HAS HER CRAP TOGETHER NOW... BUT I WONDER HOW THIS CHILD WILL BE IN A FEW YEARS?
I THINK OF KATHERINE ZETA JONES OR LIZ HURLEY NOT A KID THAT SHOULD BE MARKETING LOVES BABY SOFT.
HEY, THE CAMERA CAN DO WONDERS THAT IS NO QUESTION. THEY CAN MAKE ANYONE LOOK GREAT. DID YOU EVER SEE AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL??? AT FIRST, THOSE GIRLS LOOK LIKE ANYONE YOU SEE ON THE STREET, MINUS 70-80 POUNDS. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF LOOKS....IT IS THE WHOLE PERCEPTION, I GUESS.
not that i like cortny love or cobain but i think francis is a beautiful girl she has beautiful blue eyes "like me" lol
Get some asian african american chick please!! To many whities have modeled for channel. Blast into the 21st cent. retards...
i hear frances is a total girly girl. i looove nirvana and im like one of the grungiest ppl ever and i usually hate this stuff but it would be seriously awesome if she did that. shes really pretty. good luck frances
OMG STOP DISSING FRANCES SHES EFFIN GORGEOUS OK AND HER PARENTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS JOB THING AND ITS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PIC IS KINDA CRAPPY. FRANCES HAS SAID SHE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON FROM HER PARENTS. AND ANYWAY HER DAD IS THE BIGGEST MUSICAL GENIUS EVA!!!! OK GOD!!
She is just stunning in every way possible, but she is still young and would fear the even bigger world would not be best for her in the long run.
All things aside, some of you need to look in a mirror. Look at your reflection. Are YOU perfect looking? Odds are, probably not. How would YOU feel if people all across the country were picking you apart? Tearing down everything about you - as if you weren't a person with a soul or feelings. Frances is 15 years old - do you remember what it's like to be 15? Most teenagers are at odds with themself, struggling to find their own identity. They need words of encouragement, not negativity. Frances didn't ASK to be born to Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, but those are the only parents she's got. This was the hand of cards she was dealt. It doesn't matter what your opinions of her parents are, I'm sure NONE of you have ever met either one personally and therefore have no real basis for your crappy opinions. So keep them to yourself. I'm sure it's hurtful for her to hear and or see people's thoughtless hate splashed all over the media and web. I'm sure none of you would ever want horrible things to be said about YOUR parents. How terrible to be born into a world where people immediately judge you based solely on who your parents are/were. Leave Frances alone - she's trying to find her own way!
I don't think Francis is fat at all! It's not like she'll be doing runway! I mean she's only 15, don't be so mean! She'll end up getting an eating disorder because of what people say. Plus, most of you people can't talk, I mean it's not as if you're models. Francis is very pretty!!!!
Frances Bean looks perfect in every way. The picture above is maybe not one of the best, but google her - she is absolutely beautiful and perfect for Chanel. You just wait and see - those ads will blow everyone away
She's 15! She looks perfectly normal....but then again, that brings up another point. She's 15. with all of the crazy goings on of her childhood, maybe she should be focusing on education and making a good, strong name for herself. Just cuz her parents are a fame, doesn't mean she has to be another boring, undeserving Paris Hilton type (not to bash anyone).
and I think her eyes are beautiful. man, those aren't just the typical blue eyes that everyone has. Those are crystal clear. Sharp and almost wolf-like. she has her dad's gorgeously striking eyes!
Brilliang point, Charlie. Frances is beautiful. You all, and that includes me, are jelous.
whoever said this decision had nothing to do with her parents, obviously you live in a very ignorant world. you think if a girl who looked like that and didn't have celebrity parents would be picked to be a spokesmodel for chanel? actually not only do you live in a ignorant world, you are just plain STUPID.
She looks like mom before the nose job? I really think mom had something to do with his death?
