Week after week, Lupita Nyong’o is making headlines, and it’s always good news. Lupita is without a doubt one fashionable lady. Based on her looks on the red carpet, it was only a matter of time before we saw her land an endorsement gig related to fashion.
The wait for this seems to be over as the 31-year-old actress is the new face of Lancôme cosmetics, becoming the first black ambassador for the French luxury brand. Lancôme is a beauty product house that was Founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean and provides product s with a quintessential French touch. This move makes Lupita Nyong’o the fourth Academy Award winner to be named as brand ambassador by Lancôme with the others being Julia Roberts, Penelope Cruz, and Kate Winslet
Lupita had to say this about her latest achievement: “I am truly honoured to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself,â€
Both talented and committed, true to her African beauty, and showing a great curiosity and open-mindedness in her career choices, Lupita is by essence the Lancôme woman.†stated Françoise Lehmann, General Manager of Lancôme International.
Lupita Nyong’o is set to be photographed this summer by star photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
