Jourdan Dunn is the new global face of Maybelline New York
Big model news: Maybelline New York announced today that Jourdan Dunn will be the new global face of the brand. After being discovered by a model scout in the sunglasses section of a British store in 2007 (the dream, right?) Dunn’s impressive career has included walking the runway for top designers like Oscar de la Renta, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga, as well as appearing in print campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry and Rag & Bone. The London native (and BFF to Cara Delevingne) will be gracing Maybelline New York’s print and television campaigns beginning this month.
Maybelline New York president Jerome Bruhat said via press release that he selected Dunn for her “look, style and positive energy,” and we’re inclined to agree. Case in point: Dunn believes that beauty is “kindness and respect for both yourself and others,” which we think is a refreshingly genuine perspective. She’s also not afraid to speak up about important issues like racism in the fashion industry—she’s talked about being the only black model in a show and called out makeup artists who weren’t up to the task of working on her skin and hair. Dunn’s strength of character and Maybelline’s message of empowerment create what appears to be a foolproof match.
