Diamonds are a girl's best friend: Jessica Alba draped in jewels as she fronts new fashion campaign

They say that diamonds are a girl's best friend - and Jessica Alba certainly looks at ease modelling the latest designs from luxury jeweller Piaget.

Of the campaign she said: 'The great thing about these pieces is how chic and simple they are. It’s jewellery that you can hang on to and pass down. This is something I would want my daughter to have later in life.'

'I love the idea of layering the gold and the silver and rose gold, this sparkly line is nice with all of the diamonds.

'These are pieces that you keep forever, they’re timeless.

Of working with Demarchalier, Jessica adds: 'It’s just thrilling to be shot by Patrick who is a legend.'
