Adriana Lima has grace, beauty and style in great quantities.

So it's perhaps little surprise to learn that she has been named the face of Marc Jacobs' brand new fragrance.

The stunning supermodel was dressed by the designer for Monday night's Met Gala in New York to mark their new partnership.

It's without question why the uber-designer chose the 33-year-old Victoria's Secret star to be the face - and body - of his new fragrance, which hits beauty counters in September.

The Brazilian bombshell matches the upcoming fragrance well, which has been described as exotic and sophisticated, perhaps more so than Marc Jacobs' previous scents, such as his light and breezy Daisy range of perfumes.

She wore a dress by Marc at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art's Costume Institute Gala on Monday evening, to further bring home the fact they are set to work together.

The gorgeous model looked a world away from her usual beachy, Amazonian self as she walked the red carpet at the star-studded fashion event in New York.

Wearing a thick black wig complete with a heavy, straight fringe, she was barely recognisable as she went all-out for the theme of this year's gala: Chinese Whispers.

She had certainly cut an eye-catching figure in an almost burgundy-red full-length gown, covered in sparkly embellishment and including a deep plunging sheer panel at the front.

With her eyes painted in large cat-like flicks and her lips painted a rich shade of maroon, Adriana had cut a flawless figure at the ball, making her mark among the likes of the fashion world's more outrageous dressers, like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Madonna.

The busy mother-of-two's signing with Marc Jacobs is the latest in a long line of lucrative contracts for the star, who was last year named by Forbes as the second highest-paid supermodel in the world with earnings of $8m.

As well as being one of the lead models for lingerie giant Victoria's Secret, she has worked for brands including Maybelline, Donna Karan, Armani, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Desigual, to name a few.
