Lupita Nyong'o just keeps wining. The Oscar-winning actress, who broke out last year in the film 12 Years a Slave, will be joining the ranks of female actresses like Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet, as brand ambassador for Lancome. Her ads will begin appearing in September, USA Today reports.
"I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved, Nyong'o said in a statement released by the French beauty corporation. "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 also appeared in Miu Miu's spring 2014 campaign, and was present at the brand's recent show, reported USA Today.
Fashion watchers kept an eye out for Lupita during awards season. Her sense of style, which included her now famed red Ralph Lauren cape dress, garnered her plenty of red carpet attention.
In an interview with Women's Wear Daily,Nyong'o discussed a speech she made about beauty, just before the Oscars. "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 beauty mogul told WWD. "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."
E! news reports that the 31-year-old actress will make her first post-Oscars red carpet appearance at the April 12 GLAAD Media Awards.
