Armani beauty has named American actress Tessa Thompson as its newest face. Thompson will feature in both the campaigns for the Luminous Silk Foundation and the new Lip Power, shot by Swedish photographer Mikael Jansson.
 
“My idea of beauty applies to every woman as it enhances her personality and uniqueness. Tessa Thompson struck me with the radiant energy she exudes, the vibrant calmness of her way of being. I am delighted to be able to work with her and express a new facet of the feminine kaleidoscope of Armani beauty,” said Giorgio Armani.
 
Tessa Thompson added, “Our ideas around what is beautiful, culturally, are shifting, and becoming more inclusive. What I love about Armani is the way in which it empowers any kind of woman to feel her best self.”
 
Thompson, who was born in Los Angeles, started in theater then had small roles in television before establishing her name in film. Her first notable, breakout film role was Dear White People in 2014, then followed by Ava DuVernay’s 2014 film Selma. Thompson is also known for her roles in Westworld, Creed, and Thor: Ragnarok. In 2019, Thompson appeared on the cover of TIME magazine as the Leader of the Next Generation.
 
Thompson joins Armani beauty alongside actresses Cate Blanchett, Zhong Chuxi, Adria Arjona, Alice Pagani, and Greta Ferro; actors Ryan Reynolds, Jackson Yee, and Nicholas Hoult; and models Barbara Palvin, Madisin Rian and Valentina Sampaio.
