With much excitement the L’Oréal Paris family last week welcomed leggy catwalk heroine Karlie Kloss as the brand’s newest international beauty ambassador. At the tender age of 22 the American supermodel has a dazzling career most women can only dream of. And now the catwalk queen, style icon and Victoria's Secret angel has added another string to her beautiful bow, and was reportedly chosen by the French beauty giant because of her powerful walk, unique freshness and amazing energy. 

“On catwalks where she catches lights with such intensity, through brilliant studies or a hectic New Yorker life, Karlie is definitely the perfect combination between grace and modernity, intelligence and hard work. L’Oréal Paris is all about inspiring women making the best of their whole potential,” said Cyril Chapuy, L’Oréal Paris Brand Global President of the appointment.

Previously a student at the prestigious Caston’s Ballet School, while still a teen she turned her neverending legs and atypical beauty into an inimitable signature that made heads turn. After Karlie was scouted by Teen Vogue in 2008, hot shot photographers and designers such as Bruce Weber, David Sims and Marc Jacobs put her on the map, and the rest - as they say - is history.

In 2012 she became an working with charity projects helping needy children all around the world.

“I have always believed that you have to be confident in yourself. Anything can happen if you really work at it. Never give up. This for me is what L’Oréal Paris does. This is why I am so proud to join this inspiring team,” says Karlie on the new partnership with the brand.

Karlie will also now be in truly illustrious company, joining supermodels Lara Stone, Natasha Poly and Doutzen Kroes in the ridiculously glamorous L’Oréal Paris family.
