Lily-Rose Depp is making a statement in her new modeling campaign.

Instead of getting glam for a world-renowned designer, the famous daughter to Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis is partnering up with the Self Evident Project to show her support for the LGBTQI community.

While posing for several photographs, the 16-year-old kept things casual and comfortable as she wrapped her arms around two friends while wearing a "We Are You" T-shirt.

"These sweet teen dreams joined the Self Evident Project family over the weekend," the organization wrote on Instagram. "The entire point of this project is to help young people feel good being true to themselves, so to us this is the ultimate win!"

Founder io also shared a photo from the shoot featuring Lily-Rose. The photographer couldn't help but share how "proud" he was of his close friend.

"She decided she wanted to be in @SelfEvidentProject because she falls somewhere on the vast spectrum, and I couldn't be happier to welcome her to the family," he wrote on Instagram. "She's a tiny gem of a good human. #ProudUncle #WeAreYou."

According to the organization's Instagram profile, Self Evident Truths is described as a photographic record of 10,000 people in the United States who are "anywhere on the LGBTQI spectrum."

About ten months ago, fellow model Cara Delevingne joined the movement when she posed in the signature T-shirt.

"Doesn't matter who you are or what you believe it, we are one!" the supermodel turned actress shared on social media. "Go get yourself one of these shirts right now! I'm late for National Coming Out Day but better late than never. Don't be scared to be who you are."
