Ballerific Beauty: Lupita Nyong’o Lancôme Ad Revealed

Lupita Nyong’o is the new face of Lancôme and the image hit the internet today (June 24th). The gorgeous actress is having an awesome year being labeled as People’s Magazine 50 most beautiful woman of 2014, winning an Oscar,being on the cover of Vogue, and so much more to come.

She has stole many hearts with her sense of style, humble heart, and most of all just being beautiful. It came to no surprise when she was chosen for the ad. She absolutely stunning.

Lupita spoke with Women’s Wear Daily about the Lancôme deal:

“What appealed to me about Lancôme is that they’re not dictating what beauty is. 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”.

She then talks about beauty means and how actors are significant to Lancôme:

“I had to give a speech about beauty right before the Oscars,” she continued, “and for me, beauty is a compassion for yourself and those around you. And I think that in focusing on that, the light inside illuminates the beauty outside. The idea that Lancôme now has a few actor ambassadors is significant because actors are not just faces, they are spirits that people enjoy and relate to more than in an aesthetic way. We have the privilege of standing for something other than just looks.”

Congratulations Lupita! Thoughts on the ad?
