The
Lupita reign continues on strong and in the best way! The 31-year old Kenyan actress, who won an Oscar for Best supporting role in 12
Years a Slave, joins the ranks of Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Julia Roberts as one of
Lancôme's ambassadors. Although she is the fourth actress to cut a deal with
Lancôme, she is their very first BLACK ambassador! The new ads will appear in September.
"I am truly honored 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," Nyong'o said in a statement released by the French beauty house.
This
announcement is right on the heel of her recent stint with the French high
fashion brand, Miu Miu, for their spring 2014 campaign.

| The French love them some Lupita and it’s quite understandable why! |
Françoise Lehmann, General Manager of Lancôme International,
said the company's decision to add Lupita was because she is "talented and committed, true
to her African beauty, and showing a great curiosity and open-mindedness in her
career choices."
Oui oui Monsieur! Two snaps for Ms. Lupita Nyong’o!
