Riding high off her recent Oscar win for 12 Years A Slave (and perhaps a role in the new Star Wars sequel), Lupita Nyong’o has been signed up as the latest ambassador for luxury beauty brand Lancôme.“I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved,” Nyong’o said. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself.”

Nyong’o is the latest in a line of Oscar-winning actresses to represent the brand, including Julia Roberts, Penelope Cruz, and Kate Winslet.

She posted the lovely video below on her Instagram last night. More via USA Today.
