Widely recognized for her powerful on-screen presence and acclaimed performances across film and television, Kirby is known for her emotional depth and expressive talent as an actor. According to Lancôme, her fearless outlook and her ability to embrace authenticity resonate deeply with the values the brand represents.

Vanessa Kirby is an award-winning performer who has received the British Academy Film Award (BAFTA) and has also earned nominations for the Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and the Academy Awards.

She won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Princess Margaret in the Netflix series The Crown. Her performance in the film Pieces of a Woman (2020) earned her the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, further solidifying her reputation across film, television, and stage.

In recent years, Kirby has appeared in the Mission: Impossible film series and portrayed Empress Joséphine in Ridley Scott’s historical epic Napoleon. She is also set to play Sue Storm in the Marvel film The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In 2025, she starred in the Netflix film The Night Always Comes, a project she also produced, continuing to expand her career both in front of and behind the camera.

Commenting on her appointment, Kirby said: “To me, Lancôme represents optimism, beauty and so much more: the brand stands for confidence, resilience and the courage to be yourself. I’ve long admired the brand’s dedication to celebrating authenticity and inner strength. As someone deeply committed to supporting women, I’m honored to join a collective that believes in promoting beauty in all its forms.”

Vania Lacascade, Global Brand President of Lancôme, also shared her thoughts on the partnership: “Our ambassadors represent the diverse facets of the modern woman, and Vanessa brings her captivating depth and sophisticated beauty to our collective. As an actress, she seeks to understand the human experience from the inside out.”

“When we met, she shared how much beauty and joy she finds in the exploration of ‘nuances’ and new perspectives. In this quest, we found a perfect mirror for Lancôme’s own mission: to approach life with optimism, curiosity, and the confidence to evolve at every stage.”

Over the years, Lancôme has continued to redefine the concept of beauty through innovation across skincare, makeup, and fragrance. At the heart of the brand lies a spirit of curiosity and constant evolution—an ongoing pursuit of discovering new possibilities while empowering women worldwide to embrace their beauty with confidence and share their strength with others.
