Lebanese British actress Razane Jammal named Dior Beauty brand ambassador 

DUBAI: Lebanese British actress Razane Jammal has been named the brand ambassador for French luxury label Dior’s beauty line, Dior Beauty.  

In October 2022, Jammal, famous for her roles in the Netflix series “The Sandman” and “Paranormal,” was announced as the Middle East’s brand ambassador for Dior.  

On Thursday, she took to Instagram to express her gratitude to be expanding her partnership with the fashion house. “It gives me great pleasure to announce that I am now Dior’s Woman Ambassador for the Middle East. It was such an incredible experience to represent the iconic fashion house of @dior last year and I’m thrilled to be expanding our partnership into the world of @diorbeauty.” 

“It is a privilege to be able to represent my culture within a brand with a strong history of empowering women,” she wrote to her 877,000 followers. “I’m grateful to see my Dior family grow and to be aligned with exceptional women from both sides of the pond. Thank you for your trust in me, I cannot wait for all the things we will accomplish together this year.” 

In March 2023, she starred in the brand’s campaign for Ramadan alongside Saudi actress, singer and TV presenter Aseel Omran.  

Jammal was featured in a shoot for the new capsule collection, Dior Or.  

The shoot featured the star — who also made headlines for her role in the show “Al-Thaman” — wearing a flowing beige outfit while holding a matching Dior clutch. She also posed wearing a black skirt and a gold tulle skirt with a beige blazer. 

Dior is not the only global label that Jammal has partnered with.  

In March 2023, she walked the runway at a Cartier event in Dubai. She wore a black formfitting dress with a plunging neckline, a thigh-high slit from the center and padded shoulders. 

She walked alongside a long list of celebrities from the Arab world including Saudi actress and filmmaker Fatima Al-Benawi, Egyptian veteran star Yusra, Egyptian Montenegrin model and actress Tara Emad, Tunisian actor Dhaffer L’Abidine, Egyptian Tunisian actress Hend Sabri, Emirati host Anas Bukhash, French Algerian filmmaker Farida Khelfa and Somali model Rawdah Mohamed.
