Taylor Momsen‘s career has sky-rocketed since her debut as Little J on our favorite fashionable series, Gossip Girl. The blonde actress/singer/model has gone on to tour with her band, the Pretty Reckless, while landing several major fashion campaigns–we recently learned that she’d be the star of Madonna and daughter Lourdes’ new ads for their Material Girl Collection; now we hear that Momsen has inked a deal to be the face of of John Galliano’s yet-unnamed scent for Fall 2010. Although details of the perfume are being kept mum, we figure she’s an ideal choice for the fragrance: Both Galliano and Momsen are known for their outrageous fashion and beauty choices. Regardless, we can’t wait to hear more about the perfume. Can you? Tell us in the comments section below!
