Kate Winslet named as latest L'Oréal Paris global ambassador

Thursday, June 3, L'Oréal Paris named Kate Winslet as its latest global ambassador.

The role sees the Oscar-winning actress join ranks with other Hollywood stars known for their activism and commitment to various causes, such as Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren and Viola Davis.

Partner of the Cannes Film Festival for more than two decades, the cosmetics brand could present its new ambassador during this year's event, scheduled to take place in July.

 "Kate Winslet is a true icon -- in film and as a strong woman, an empowering voice in our mission at L'Oréal Paris: Believe in yourself, so the next generation doesn't doubt it for a moment. With her talent for elevating women's stories and supporting those without a voice, Kate Winslet shares our reason for being at L'Oréal Paris -- to encourage women to know their worth, celebrate their beauty and dare to be themselves," Délphine Viguier-Hovasse, global brand president of L'Oréal Paris, said in a statement.
