Romeo's campaign news comes the morning after mother Victoria scooped the Luxury Brand of the Year award at the Walpole British Luxury Awards 2015 on Monday night.

The star dazzled in a gold sparkly dress from her own line as she accepted the award. The dress finished at the ankle and had a drop waist effect courtesy of a low-slung belt.
