Chanel has named the talented and acclaimed actress, Lupita Nyong’o, as its newest brand ambassador.
The renowned French fashion house shared this exclusive news with WWD after the Oscar-winning actress attended its spring 2025 ready-to-wear show at the Grand Palais, marking the grand finale of Paris Fashion Week.
Nyong’o, who has been a cherished friend of the house for over a decade, is known for her impressive fashion statements and has consistently donned Chanel designs at prominent events, gracing the red carpet with elegance and poise.
Her attendance at various Chanel shows, including the fall 2023 haute couture show in Paris, and her stunning choices, such as the haute couture gown she wore to the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles last December, reflect her deep-rooted connection with the brand.
Lupita Nyong’o first captured the world’s attention after winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her powerful performance in “12 Years a Slave.” Since then, she has gone on to star in iconic films such as “Black Panther,” the “Star Wars” saga, and the recent “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Her versatility as an actress and her remarkable ability to embody every role continue to make her a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, Nyong’o is not just a talented actress but also a voice artist, lending her voice to the lead character in DreamWorks Animation’s feature film “The Wild Robot,” which recently premiered at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.

Looking ahead, Nyong’o is set to return to the theater stage next year as she takes on the role of Viola in Shakespeare in the Park’s summer production of “Twelfth Night.” She will share the stage with an impressive cast, including Peter Dinklage, Sandra Oh, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, further showcasing her versatility and dedication to her craft.
With her recent appointment, Lupita Nyong’o joins an illustrious group of Chanel ambassadors that includes iconic figures such as Whitney Peak, Margot Robbie, Riley Keough, Charlotte Casiraghi, and Kristen Stewart.
