The French luxury house Dior has announced the appointment of actor and musician LaKeith Stanfield as a new ambassador for the collections designed by Jonathan Anderson. For the Maison, which emphasizes modernity through sensibility and individuality, Stanfield represents a figure who embodies its contemporary aesthetic.
LaKeith Stanfield gained international recognition for his performance as William O’Neal in Judas and the Black Messiah, a role that earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. His nuanced portrayal of a character torn between ideals and fear showcased a psychologically complex performance, firmly establishing his reputation on the global stage.
In 2024, Stanfield appeared in Lear Rex, a film adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear directed by Bernard Rose. The film stars Al Pacino in the title role, with Stanfield appearing alongside an ensemble cast that includes Jessica Chastain.
He further expanded his filmography in 2025 with Die My Love, a psychological drama directed by Lynne Ramsay and based on the novel by Ariana Harwicz. The film explores the inner life of a woman struggling with postpartum depression, with Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role and Robert Pattinson portraying her husband. Stanfield plays a character who exerts a significant influence on the narrative.
Stanfield’s distinctive presence and personal style reflect the modern masculine identity envisioned by Dior today. His balance of sensitivity and strength, intellect and freedom, aligns closely with the creative world shaped by Jonathan Anderson.
