Vanessa Kirby Joins Lancôme as Global Ambassador

British actress and producer Vanessa Kirby has joined Lancôme as its newest Global Ambassador. The BAFTA-winning star joins an A-list roster including Julia Roberts, Olivia Rodrigo, and Christy Turlington as a face of the L’Oréal-owned beauty brand.

The appointment comes as the 37-year-old actress continues to cement her status as a leading figure in both independent cinema and major film franchises. Known for her Academy Award-nominated performance in Pieces of a Woman and her BAFTA-winning portrayal of Princess Margaret in Netflix’s The Crown, Kirby has recently starred in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon and is set to appear in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Beyond her acting credits — which include the Mission: Impossible film series and the 2025 Netflix film The Night Always Comes, which she also produced — Kirby is an active advocate for children’s rights in high-conflict zones.

“To me, Lancôme represents optimism, beauty and so much more: the brand stands for confidence, resilience and the courage to be yourself,” says Kirby. “I’ve long admired the brand’s dedication to celebrating authenticity and inner strength. As someone deeply committed to supporting women, I’m honoured to join a collective that believes in promoting beauty in all its forms.”

Kirby’s appointment follows the brand’s long-standing strategy of partnering with high-profile women to represent its skincare, makeup, and fragrance lines across 135 countries.

“Our ambassadors represent the diverse facets of the modern woman, and Vanessa brings her captivating depth and sophisticated beauty to our collective,” says Vania Lacascade, Global Brand President of Lancôme. “As an actress, she seeks to understand the human experience from the inside out. When we met, she shared how much beauty and joy she finds in the exploration of nuance and new perspectives. In this quest, we found a perfect mirror for Lancôme’s own mission: to approach life with optimism, curiosity, and the confidence to evolve at every stage.”

Lancôme is available in the UK from Boots and John Lewis, and in the US at Sephora and Ulta Beauty.
