A few weeks after the appointment of Margot Robbie as the face of the CHANEL N°5 perfume, the Maison de la rue Cambon announces the arrival of actress Lupita Nyong'o in its portfolio of ambassadors.

Formalised during Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2025 where CHANEL returned to the Grand Palais, Lupita Nyong'o's appointment follows several months of rumours. Spotted in the front row of the label's previous shows, the actress also wore a CHANEL Haute Couture dress at the annual gala of the Academy Museum in Los Angeles last December.
