20 JANUARY 2005

Drew Barrymore is set to turn heads off the big screen with her latest role in the spring 2005 campaign for cosmetics company Lancôme. The Charlie's Angels star was asked to pose for the shoot by long-time friend and world-renowned make-up artist Gucci Westman.

Ads feature a colourful close-up of the 29-year-old's face next to a revealing black and white body shot in which her modesty is preserved by some tactfully placed accessories from the cosmetic giant's spring 2005 French Riviera collection. The campaign marks Gucci's official debut as the brand's international artistic director.

Apart from lending her chum a hand, Drew is also busy wrapping up work on her latest film, the romantic comedy Fever Pitch due for release later this year.
