Change is in the air within the HQs of the two largest and most prestigious French fashion houses. Rihanna is now the official face of the iconic Christian Dior J’adore fragrance, succeeding the long-serving Charlize Theron. Now, Margot Robbie is unveiled as the face of Chanel No.5.
Since March 2018, the Australian actress has enjoyed a relationship with the fabled French fashion house, having become a favorite of the late great Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld dressed the I, Tonya star in custom Chanel Haute Couture for the 2018 Ocsars. Later in the month, Robbie’s Chanel duties became official and had the honor of being photographed by Lagerfeld for the Chanel Coco Neige advertising campaign.
Subsequent to signing on the dotted line as brand ambassador, Margot has made umpteen red carpet appearances and a handful of magazine covers appearances dressed in head-to-toe Chanel. Back in August 2019, Margot became the face of the Chanel Gabrielle fragrance. The blonde beauty posed for celebrated British fashion photographer Nick Knight. Furthermore, Margot Robbie posed her first Chanel makeup campaign, to mark the launch of the Rouge Allure lipstick. To say the Barbie actress is well versed fronting Chanel campaigns would be an understatement. Did we mention she’s the current face of the Chanel J12 watches?
Margot Robbie Becomes the Face of Chanel No.5
As the face of No. 5, Robbie takes over from the French actress Marion Cotillard. The French actress had been the scent’s ambassador since 2020. Previous ambassadors of the fragrance include Nicole Kidman and Gisele Bündchen. In a statement, Robbie described her new role as “one of the most iconic fragrances in the world,” and said she was honored to join the “impressive lineage of women” who have been associated with the scent.
Jacob Elordi will feature in the full Karim Saldi-shot campaign, scheduled to be unveiled in October. To say we cannot wait would be understatement. Share your thoughts on Margot Robbie’s new gig on theFashionSpot forums, here.
