The Woman King actress, Thuso Mbedu, has officially been unveiled as the Brand Ambassador and spokesperson for L’Oréal Paris in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, eleven weeks after the beauty giant announced the partnership with the South African star. Per the beauty brand, Mbedu’s appointment is attributed to her successful international career, along with her passion when it comes to empowering women and girls.
For the groundbreaking ceremony that officially unveiled the 32-year-old on Friday evening (August 11), Thuso arrived at South Africa’s Sandton Convention Centre immaculately clad in a dreamy, Barbie-inspired strapless gown. The beautiful pink number came complete with a massive ball skirt crafted with lavish pink roses.
