Haille Steinfeld is not the first teen star to bag an advertising campaign only to have it banned at a later date.
Earlier this month Dakota Fanning, found one of the images from her Marc Jacobs' Oh, Lola! fragrance campaign banned by the ASA because the perfume bottle positioned between her legs was deemed sexually provocative.
