On April 20, French luxury beauty brand Lancôme announced the appointment of Zoe Saldaña as its new Global Ambassador.
Founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, Lancôme has continuously evolved across skincare, makeup, and fragrance, rooted in the spirit of French elegance. At the core of the brand lies its philosophy of “Fearless Optimism,” which champions the idea of empowering women to shape their own futures with confidence and purpose.
Zoe Saldaña’s career strongly reflects this philosophy. Having built a dynamic presence in Hollywood through a wide range of roles, she has also expanded her influence beyond acting into production. Her approach aligns with Lancôme’s vision of beauty—not as something purely external, but as a reflection of inner conviction and strength.
A Global Presence
Saldaña has starred in some of the highest-grossing films in history, including Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Avengers: Endgame, establishing herself as both a commercial and cultural force in the global entertainment industry.
More recently, her performance in Emilia Pérez earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2025. She also received major honors, including the Golden Globe Awards, SAG Awards, and BAFTA, solidifying her critical acclaim.
In addition, she continues to expand her creative footprint as both lead actress and executive producer in the series Special Ops: Lioness.

Statements from Saldaña and Lancôme
Regarding her new role, Saldaña commented: “To me, Lancôme has always stood for a grounded, and deeply human vision of beauty. That speaks to who I am — as a woman, as an actress and as a parent. Beauty, to me, is about conviction: the courage to set your own terms and the confidence to uphold them. I am so proud to join this extraordinary collective and to be part of a brand that believes in an authentic beauty.”
Vania Lacascade, Global Brand President of Lancôme, added: “We are delighted to welcome Zoe Saldaña to our collective. Zoe is far more than a global icon; she is a dynamic force who bridges worlds, cultures, and generations. She brings a grounded authority and a rare intellectual depth that resonate deeply with today’s women, who seek substance over surface. Beyond her energy and grace, it is her unwavering sense of self and her commitment to meaningful storytelling that make her such a powerful voice for Lancôme. Zoe doesn’t just take space; she creates connection. We are proud to partner with an artist of such immense scale who moves through the world with such honesty, purpose, and luminosity.”
Expanding Ambassador Strategy
With this appointment, Saldaña joins a distinguished group of Lancôme ambassadors, including Julia Roberts, Olivia Rodrigo, Christy Turlington, Isabella Rossellini, Aya Nakamura, and Vanessa Kirby.
By bringing together ambassadors from diverse generations and cultural backgrounds, Lancôme continues to expand its messaging through a multifaceted lens. The addition of Saldaña further reinforces the brand’s commitment to representing global perspectives and values in today’s beauty landscape.
