Cartier announces The Crown’s actress Vanessa Kirby as its newest ambassador at the brand’s dinner last night in Paris, where she declared:
“It is such an honor to become an ambassador and embody the wild feminine spirit behind the iconic scent of La Panthère. To be aligned with a house that has a real appreciation for – and commitment to – philanthropy, women’s empowerment, conservation, and arts and culture, powered by the extraordinary team at Cartier, is truly inspiring. They have become a family to me, and I am honored to be on this journey with them”.
And Arnaud Carrez, the Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Cartier, explained: “To express the force of attraction of La Panthère, our choice went spontaneously to Vanessa Kirby. Intense and magnetic, Vanessa Kirby is a free spirit who has the boldness of her convictions, both in her roles in cinema and in life. An actress who takes her destiny into her own hands, determined and ambitious. A strength that she shares with the emblematic panther.”
The British actress has been asked to reflect the essence of the house with her outstanding and exquisite talent, character, and sensual femininity as the face of Cartier jewelry, watchmaking, and fragrances. After making her acting debut as Princess Margaret in The Crown on Netflix, she moved on to receive exceptional good reviews for her leading performance in Pieces of a Woman, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award, BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe.
