Young Bulgarian pop star Maria Ilieva is the new face of a cosmetics giant's campaign against breast cancer.

Maria drew the company's attention with her latest success as Star Academy host, as well as her remarkable music career.

The charismatic performer has already shot a special photo session with renowned photographer Dilyan Markov. The images show Maria wearing a t-shirt with the words "Avon against breast cancer" on it.

Several other celebrities have vowed support for the campaign, organized each year by Avon Bulgaria.

Sitcom star Stefania Koleva, actresses Tsvetana Maneva, Yordanka Kuzmanova and Iskra Radeva, as well as singer Galya from the KariZma duo, will use their popularity to increase breast cancer awareness.

They will also lead a big anti-cancer parade in September.
