Oscar-winner Halle Berry is to front a forthcoming ad campaign for top Italian design house Versace.

Model Gabriel Aubry will continue to do most of the promotion for the label, but it is thought Berry will add "celeb kudos" to the brand.

Famed photographer Mario Testino, who described Berry as "very glamourous," has apparently already shot photos of the Monster's Ball star.

According to the New York Post, the shoot with Berry was focused on portrait shots, with Berry's hair messy thanks to the introduction of a wind machine.
