DUBAI: Actress Yara Shahidi this week celebrated being the brand ambassador for French luxury fashion house Dior’s beauty line.
The Iranian American star shared a picture of herself on social media as she posed next to her campaign photo in one of the brand’s stores. “You can already find my face in stores,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
On Saturday, the “Grown-ish” actress shared the label’s new video for Rouge Dior Forever with her 7.5 million followers — the stick version of Dior’s best-selling Rouge Dior liquid lipstick.
The new lipstick claims to deliver “16 hours of transfer-proof wear and bare lip comfort,” according to Dior.
In the video, Shahidi stars alongside Israeli-American Hollywood star Natalie Portman.
Directed by Belgian Arnaud Uyttenhove, Portman and Shahidi are filmed in the middle of a barren desert landscape, and the actresses are seen wearing flowing red dresses to match the crimson shades of their lipstick.

Shahidi has also recently starred in another Dior Forever campaign, shot at the Salk Institute alongside “The Queen’s Gambit” actress Anya Taylor-Joy. The advert — directed by Damien Krisl and photographed by Camilla Akrans — is expected to debut in January 2023.
On Instagram, Shahidi shared a look at the upcoming ad campaign with her fans. “A beautiful day,” she captioned the image of her and fellow Dior brand ambassador Taylor-Joy, walking toward the camera imposingly, bedecked in Grecian-style gowns.
The French luxury maison appointed Shahidi as a global brand ambassador in July of 2021, tapping the 22-year-old to be the latest face of its fashion and cosmetics lines.
Shahidi also has a production company, called 7th Sun Production Co., which she runs with her mother and business partner Keri Shahidi.
Earlier this month, US television company ABC Signature extended its deal with the pair to include a partnership with Onyx Collective, the content brand formed under Disney General Entertainment Content.
The mother and daughter duo will continue to develop and produce scripted and alternative television projects for cable, streaming and broadcast under the exclusive deal, Deadline reported this month.
