Chanel has recently made an exciting announcement, revealing that the talented actor Timothée Chalamet will be the new ambassador for their iconic fragrance, Bleu de Chanel. This news comes shortly after the appointment of Whitney Peak as the face of another Chanel fragrance, Coco Mademoiselle. Chalamet, a multi-talented French-American actor, has gained a reputation for his exceptional fashion sense and is adored by numerous brands. However, this venture with Chanel marks his very first official role as an ambassador for a fashion or beauty brand.
Chanel has expressed their reasons for selecting Chalamet, highlighting his dynamic energy and worldwide recognition. They describe him as a visionary who breaks through conventional boundaries in life. Chalamet’s breakthrough came with his remarkable performance in the 2017 film “Call Me by Your Name,” which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor at a young age.
The inclusion of Chalamet as the ambassador for Bleu de Chanel signifies a new chapter for both the actor and the fragrance itself. The upcoming campaign is set to be directed by the renowned Martin Scorsese and captured through the lens of esteemed photographer Mario Sorrenti. Its aim is to redefine the traditional concept of men’s perfumery while solidifying Chalamet’s status as a modern-day icon. The fragrance’s bold and daring nature aligns perfectly with the actor’s audacious style and unapologetic charm.
Importantly, it is worth mentioning that the previous face of Bleu de Chanel, Gaspard Ulliel, met an untimely demise in a skiing accident last year. By selecting Chalamet as the fragrance’s ambassador, Chanel not only demonstrates their dedication to embracing new talent but also honors the legacy of the fragrance.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the campaign later this year. In the meantime, the fashion world is brimming with excitement about the fashion choices Chalamet will make as the new ambassador for Bleu de Chanel. With his undeniable impact on the red carpet, it is evident that his collaboration with Chanel will effortlessly blend art and fashion.
