e.l.f. Skin is heading to the Indianapolis 500 this Memorial Day weekend, furthering its commitment to inclusivity and empowerment by teaming up with the only woman entered to compete in this year’s race, Katherine Legge.
 
“At e.l.f., we strive to break boundaries, create inclusion and empower individuals to be their authentic self. From our first conversation with Katherine, we quickly realized our shared commitment to supporting women in male dominated-fields,” said Patrick O’Keefe, Vice President of Integrated Marketing Communications, e.l.f. Beauty. “Katherine is the only female driver at this year’s largest single-day sporting event in the world—the Indy 500— and we’re ecstatic to be along for the ride, helping her with every eye, lip, face and skin concern.”

About Katherine Legge

Legge became the ninth woman to ever compete in the Indy 500 in 2012, again in 2013, and 2023 will be her third start. A long time Honda/Acura competitor, Legge brought NSX its first ever win worldwide in Detroit (2017) and currently competes in an Acura NSX GT3 in the North America portage sports car category of IMSA (sports car racing).
 
“I’ve always said I’ve just wanted to be a racecar driver— and that the car doesn’t know the difference,” said Legge, who will drive the No. 44 Honda-powered Hendrickson entry for the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 28 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL). “However, I also understand that motorsports is possibly the only professional sport where men and women can compete on an even playing field, and it’s important that I do my part to help create equality and inclusion. Representation matters, which is why I’m thrilled to align with e.l.f. Skin, a brand that champions these same values.”
