Winona Ryder Tapped As Face Of Marc Jacobs Spring Beauty Collection

"A brilliant mind, talent, and physical beauty like no other."

(Relaxnews) - Winona Ryder is the new face of Marc Jacobs' beauty brand.

Jacobs released an early look of the actress for his 2016 spring line on Instagram Monday, who sports cat eyes courtesy of winged eyeliner, strong brows, nude lips and a string of pearls.

The inspiration for the look is actress Delphine Seyrig, a Lebanese-born French stage born in the 1961 film "Last Year at Marienbad" who Jacobs describes in adjectives like "flawless cool, elegant and timeless."

It is with great pride (and pleasure) that I 'leak' this image from our upcoming 2016 MARC JACOBS BEAUTY campaign. Photographed here by David Sims and styled by Katie @kegrand, it stars my dear friend (of over two and a half decades), the stunningly beautiful and extraordinarily talented, Winona Ryder. Mesmerized by this image and her look- created by Diane @diane.kendal (using our fine liner eye crayon, velvet noir mascara and new nudes lipstick) and hair by Guido @guidopalau I am reminded of one of my all time favorite films: The Last Year at Marienbad. The flawless cool, elegant and timeless chic of actress Delphine Seyrig has long been a reference of mine. The force of the surreal calm, and painstaking fetishistic polish of this film and its heroine are truly 'ON FLEEK' and continues to inspire me to date. No one I know could exude the adjectives I've listed as perfectly as Winona does... She does not model the look she gets into the role- and exudes it! A brilliant mind, talent, and physical beauty like no other, I am delighted to share this image of Winona with my IG fans and followers today. I'll follow this post with a few more MJ/WR images from our past- To see more of the campaign, stay tuned! #4everwinona #marcbeauty
