Chanel has announced Margot Robbie will be the new face of their iconic Chanel N°5 fragrance. The Barbie star has been an ambassador for the French maison for years, and has previously fronted campaigns for the Chanel Gabrielle perfume.
“I think Chanel N°5 is one of the most iconic fragrances in the world. It’s incredible to be a part of it. There’s such an impressive lineage of women who’ve been associated with the fragrance over the years. I am very honoured to be joining that long list of incredible talents,” Robbie said of her appointment.
Margot is not the first Australian actress to be the face of Chanel N°5, with Nicole Kidman famously appearing in the campaign directed by Baz Luhrmann. Other actresses to front the iconic perfume include Marion Cotillard and Catherine Deneuve.
Upon announcing Robbie as the face of Chanel N°5, the luxury house celebrated her role as an actress and a producer, “finding and championing female stories”.
“An Academy Award nominated actress and a visionary producer, Margot Robbie is a woman who has decided to create the conditions for her own accomplishments, always with the desire to tell stories carried by strong female figures in mind,” the statement said. “Her career as an actress and producer is impressive, her aura is irresistible, her charisma, both powerful and serene, resonates in every way with the unique character of the iconic N°5.”
Margot’s Chanel N°5 campaign will be released in October.
