We've been waiting to see how new Bulgari face Kirsten Dunst would fare in the sultry wake of predecessor Julianne Moore's nude ads for the same fragrance house.

With hot-off-the-presses released photos for the new Mon Jasmin Noir fragrance, it looks like Ms. Dunst won't have much more of a wardrobe department bill either.

Swathed in lilac gemstones straight out of Bulgari's Mediterranean Eden Collection, only the 28 year-old's nude bum is wrapped in sheer chiffon fabric, with a mega-sized bottle strategically placed over her center.

But what's most striking to those who remember both ads is the fact that Bulgari has paired Dunst with the regal king of the jungle, while Moore is relegated to playing cutesy with fuzzy little baby cubs.

Could it be a subliminal message that Dunst is roaring ahead, the seductress lead of the pack? And at the age of 50, is there a reason Moore is presented alongside little cougars in her sensually intriguing poses?

We're guessing it's secret de Bulgari.

The new April campaign was shot in Florence, Italy's rich Boboli Gardens, and was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. Dunst lays out in the lush gardens for all of the shots, covered in little more than gemstones and warm mid-day sun.

How very Roman.
