Frances Bean Cobain is all grown up and making style news

Frances Bean Cobain has stayed well out of the limelight that once followed her parents Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. And that's probably why the world's style press is falling all over itself now that sizzling new black-and-white photos of her have appeared.

From photog and former Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane's new shots of her, it looks like the pudgy baby and awkward-looking, sullen teen once caught occasionally by paparazzi has officially come of age.

StyleCaster.com, Full Frontal Fashion, and now even the New York Times are already debating her status as the new It Girl. The Times raves about the "intense, pale stare" she's inherited from her father, and the "voluptuous pouting lips" of her mother.

She has the tatties, the smokes, and the artist-musician cred down—can the D&G contract be far behind?
