Dua Lipa Named YSL Beauté Fragrance Ambassador
FRAGRANCE FACE: Dua Lipa has been named the ambassador of YSL Beauté’s upcoming women’s fragrance.
“I connect so much with the campaign because of its fearlessness,” the songstress said in a statement. “I stand for the importance of being confident, strong and powerful, and of not compromising on who you are, what you do and what you believe in, of always being proud of the things you do, and I feel that goes down very well with the same philosophy behind Yves Saint Laurent’s new fragrance.”
