Chanel has named Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o as its newest global brand ambassador. The announcement was made after Nyong'o attended the Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear show at the Grand Palais in Paris, marking the final day of Paris Fashion Week. Nyong'o's close relationship with Chanel goes back over ten years, with the actress frequently choosing the French fashion house for major red-carpet events.
Nyong'o has long been a fan of the brand, wearing Chanel designs from as early as 2013, shortly after the release of her breakout film 12 Years a Slave. She was spotted at various Chanel events over the years, including the Fall 2023 Haute Couture Show in Paris and the 2023 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, where she wore a stunning Chanel haute couture gown.
