Lara Stone has admitted that she is not comfortable with being called a supermodel.

Stone - the wife of David Walliams - said that she feels uneasy following in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Brooke Shields as the new face of Calvin Klein.

She told Vogue: "The word 'supermodel' makes me think of all the proper supermodels in the '90s, not about me. They're the only supermodels - I feel so unworthy, almost, of that name.

"But I think Calvin Klein has such an amazing history. Those contracts don't come around often. It takes away the worry of, 'Am I going to get another job? Is someone going to hire me this season?' It settles that."

The 26-year-old, who married Walliams in May, also revealed that her Givenchy wedding dress by Riccardo Tisci was so flattering that she wanted to wear it every day.

"The dress contained a super, super-tight corset," she said. "Riccardo, was like, 'Don't worry, you're going to lose some weight before the wedding.' I didn't. But the corset made my waist tiny. I want to wear it every day for the rest of my life."
