“Céline Dion is a woman of innate self-worth – following her heart to achieve success, challenge stereotypes and trailblaze the path for so many other women – and fully embodies our brand mission,” L’Oreal Paris Global Brand President Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou told Fashionista via a press release. “Signing Céline Dion as the newest member of the L’Oreal Paris family builds on our mission of aligning with spokeswomen who are strong, self-empowered, assertive, diverse and inclusive.”
The move is the latest milestone in an impressive career for Dion, who is set to finish her long-running Las Vegas residency this June and has been named the headline act for the BST Hyde Park festival in July. The new role sees her join a cohort of inspirational women acting as L’Oreal Paris ambassadors, including Jane Fonda, Eva Longoraia and Julianne Moore.
