Sources say that Lupita Nyong’o will be a new face for Lancôme in September. Lupita is set to join Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Penélope Cruz and Lily Collins as a celebrity ambassador. The Oscar winner stole our hearts with her role as Patsy in the film, 12 Years a Slave. Her style on the red carpet has been unmatched and her degree from Yale just adds to her wow factor. She is allegedly busy working on a new film. I am sure her performance won’t disappoint. Below she dishes about why Lancôme appealed to her.
“What appealed to me about Lancôme is that they’re not dictating what beauty is,” Lupita said. “What they do supports something that already is — and that was appealing to me, too. It’s what drew me to them. Hopefully it’s a symbiotic relationship — that I benefit from being associated with them, and they benefit from being associated with me, as well. And for the consumer at large, I think Lancôme has a range of products for every woman, and I think having me will expand people’s understanding of, hopefully, what Lancôme stands for, who Lancôme is for.”
