NEW YORK, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Coty Prestige announced today that actress Camilla Belle will be the face for a new Vera Wang fragrance, Vera Wang Princess, launching globally in Fall 2006.

For her part, Ms. Belle said, "I was thrilled to be chosen for this campaign. Vera Wang is an amazing designer -- the essence of modern chic."

"Camilla captures the spirit of the modern young woman," said Catherine Walsh, Senior Vice President, Marketing, at Coty Prestige. "She definitely is one to watch and we are excited to work with her."
