If you thought Cressida Bonas’s scrunchie moment was her big style walk in the sun, think again: The British socialite and former girlfriend of Prince Harry just landed a modeling gig for U.K. luxury brand Mulberry.

Bonas, 25, appeared at an L.A. party for the brand over the weekend (she was joined by notable celebs including Rosamund Pike, Laura Carmichael and Poppy Delevingne) wearing a white version of the dress she’d later wear to the Golden Globes afterparties. And she also made her debut (with costar Freddie Fox) in the line’s “seasonal film,” which will be released widely in March.

It’s no surprise that Mulberry tapped “Cressy” to be a face of the brand, as they have a habit of choosing “It” Girls (See: former muses Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne). And Bonas was able to use her dance training for the film, she tells Yahoo! Style: “I think it was just about being free and happy, and having fun. The idea was, ‘dance as if you’re dancing in your kitchen.’ It was more about a dance that was improvised, and not all about the steps. It was really just about having fun!”
Bonas, who will make her film debut in the upcoming Tulip Fever, already has some friends in “the industry” as well: Princess Eugenie, who works in the art world, and Princess Beatrice, who was revealed to be working for Sony (at a low salary) in the company’s major hack late last year.
Are you excited to see Bonas’s modeling debut? What does this mean for her and Harry?
