Christian Louboutin Beauty names new global ambassador

Model Mica Argañaraz has been unveiled as the first-ever global ambassador for Christian Louboutin Beauty.

The prestige cosmetics brand has snapped up the 26-year-old Argentinian fashion star to front its upcoming makeup campaigns, in a move Argañaraz called "a dream come true." She added that, as part of her new role, she would like to "encourage women to find what makes them feel beautiful and share that secret with the rest of the world."

The brand's founder Christian Louboutin praised the model's versatility, singling out her "unique beauty" and many facets as one of the reasons she was recruited for the role.

Since she first appeared on the fashion scene some years ago, Argañaraz -- who is known for her androdgynous beauty -- has seen her career skyrocket. She has racked up campaigns with major luxury brands such as Prada, Tom Ford, Calvin Klein and Versace, in addition to taking to the catwalk for Chanel, Chloe, Saint Laurent and more. She has graced the covers of multiple fashion titles, including Vogue Brazil, Vogue Paris, British Vogue and Italian Vogue.

The move is the latest in a series of big changes at Christian Louboutin Beauty: earlier this month the label announced the appointment of its first-ever global makeup artist, in the form of the beauty star Isamaya Ffrench.
