First Lana Del Rey popped up in luxurious angora sweaters and tailored blazers as the face of H&M's fall advertising campaign, now thanks to Jaguar, she's got a car to match, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Del Rey is plugging the automaker's new two-seater F-Type, though you won't actually see the car: the sultry singer is very much the focus of the ads, which show her at the edge of a swimming pool in a sun hat and white bathing suit, and reclining on a chaise lounge (above).

"The allure of Jaguar is in large part due to its duality," Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, said in a statement. "She has a unique blend of authenticity and modernity, which are two values we believe are shared with Lana in her professional achievements."

The F-Style makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. Del Rey's latest album, Born to Die, came out in January.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
