The 27-year-old Bella Hadid displaces the 56-year-old Julia Roberts from a lucrative position in Hollywood
The 27-year-old Bella Hadid is the new face of Chopard, a high-end jewelry business.
Following in the footsteps of 56-year-old Julia Roberts, who began modeling for Chopard in 2021 and even created a collection for the brand, the model has signed up as the next ambassador for the firm.
In a statement provided to WWD.com, Bella discussed the new agreement. «I have been a longtime admirer of Chopard’s craftsmanship and have so much appreciation for it,» Gigi Hadid’s sister stated.
«I am ecstatic to be a part of the Chopard family.» «Bella epitomizes the spirit of Chopard: a harmonious mix of effortless elegance and a zest for life that are truly enchanting and perfectly resonate with what our watches and jewelry stand for,» said Caroline Scheufele, copresident and artistic director of Chopard.We can’t wait to start this new journey with each other.
Bella, who recently started her own perfume company, Orebella, is a busy woman, therefore the news comes at a hectic moment for her. After facing irritation problems in the past, she has developed three perfumes that provide a lasting scent and hydrate the skin.
Bella said to Allure magazine, «I tend to stay away from anything that will trigger my body nowadays because stress alone causes me to get hives and rashes.»
Bella said, «I was trying to make them as unique as possible so that when I put them on my body, it felt singular to me.» This was her first experience developing perfumes based on oil.
«I wasn’t interested in just releasing a product or fragrance on the market.» My passion for it was already quite strong, and I no longer wanted to keep it to myself.
The three scents in the collection are Salted Muse, which is enriched with sea salt, olive tree, and cedarwood, Window2soul, which has notes of jasmine, rose, and tonka bean, Blooming Fire, which has notes of monoi, bergamot, and patchouli.
Roberts, who appeared in the Oceans 11 films, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, The Pelican Brief, and most recently, Ticket to Paradise, was named a «global ambassador» of Chopard in March.
However, it appears that Bella now has the title. The Oscar winner continues to represent Lancôme, a brand she has been associated with since 2009; in the most recent advertisement, she is seen sporting a clean white shirt.
It was reported in 2009 that Lancome paid her approximately $50 million; it is unknown how much more she will be paid in 2023.Julia represented all women’s watches, fine jewelry, and luxury jewelry collections while she was employed by Chopard.
She shone in the spring 2024 Chopard advertisements. Roberts, who swoons at the sight of heart-shaped earrings adorned with diamonds, seemed younger than her years.
The famous actress was also spotted trying on additional gems while sporting a fuchsia turtleneck. «Like the best films, jewelry is more than just a feast for the eyes,» the business stated. It stimulates our creativity.
«With #ChopardLovesCinema, our newest digital series featuring @juliaroberts and her favorite Chopard items, you can get a close-up look at the enchanted world of film.
«Be yourself and shine bright like the star that you are,» they continued.
Even though Roberts is now a model, her film career is still very much alive and well.
Next, rumors have it that she will collaborate with Jennifer Aniston on a body-swap comedy project for Amazon Studios.
The co-stars of Mother’s Day are expected to feature in a new comedy from Palm Springs director Max Barbakow following a thrilling bidding war involving four other studios. Following the deal, which was mediated by CAA, Margot Robbie’s production business LuckyChap Entertainment will produce the film, which was first reported by Deadline.
Little information about the movie, including its title or tagline, is known outside the two actresses and its backers. However, Julia has made a comeback to the romantic comedy genre, starring alongside George Clooney in Ol Parker’s Ticket to Paradise.
The film from 2022 was about separated parents reuniting for their daughter Lily’s Indonesian wedding.
The actress, who is married to 53-year-old film producer Danny Moder and has three children—15-year-old Henry and 16-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus—met Eddie Redmayne not too long ago.
He bragged about how their common friend Jessica Chastain introduced them to the star of his «favorite» movie, Pretty Woman. At the 2017 Critics Choice Awards, the 41-year-old actor admitted to Laverne Cox that he was completely smitten with Julia Roberts.
He joked, «I told Jessica that one of my favorite movies was Pretty Woman, and Jessica took it upon herself to try and force Julia to come and say hi.»
«The outcome?»Because you want to seem cool when you meet Julia Roberts, and that was not happening, [Jessica] made it incredibly daunting.
