Celine Dion has been announced as the new face of L'Oreal Paris at the age of 51, celebrating her timeless beauty.
"Celine Dion is a woman of innate self-worth, following her heart to achieve success, challenge stereotypes and trailblaze the path for so many other women, and fully embodies our brand mission," said L'Oreal Paris Global Brand President Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou, in a press release. "Signing Celine Dion as the newest member of the L'Oreal Paris family builds on our mission of aligning with spokeswomen who are strong, self-empowered, assertive, diverse and inclusive."
"I'm in shock, actually. I never, never expected something like this," said Dion to People Magazine of the honor. "I never really felt confident beauty-wise. Now, I've never felt as beautiful, as strong, and I really think that the best is yet to come."
Dion will join empowered women such as Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, Andie McDowell, and Julianne Moore as a brand ambassador and will make her debut for the brand in an Excellence Hair Color ad shot in Paris.
The multiple Grammy winner has been criticized as late for having a thinner frame than usual, leading many critics to believe there were some issues affecting the singer. Instead, she clapped back, telling People Magazine that her new slimmer physique has to do with a longtime passion of hers -- dancing.
