Angelina Jolie Becomes The Face Of Tom Ford Beauty Amid Family Drama
Angelina Jolie is stepping into a new role as the first-ever celebrity ambassador for Tom Ford Beauty. The Hollywood icon, known for her timeless elegance, is fronting the campaign for Tom Ford’s relaunched lipstick line, Runway Lip Color, set to debut in September.
In the ads, Angelina wears the brand’s signature shade, Scarlet Rouge, which she praised as a “beautiful color and texture” that embodies the essence of a powerful red lip.
“It’s a beautiful color and texture. A good red lip needs little else. It’s worn with intention,” Angelina shared with WWD.com, highlighting her love for the Scarlet Rouge shade.
The campaign marks a significant moment for Tom Ford Beauty, as Guillaume Jesel, the brand’s president and CEO, explained: “She appeals to a broad demographic, and she has global appeal. We are branded very internationally, and are well diversified around the world. And her appeal to Gen Z is very interesting.”
Guillaume also emphasized the natural connection between the brand and the film world, given Tom Ford’s background as a filmmaker. “Tom is a filmmaker, and he shot a lot of his own photography. The cinematic aspect of the visual imagery he created for this brand set it aside from anyone else and has been integral to our DNA,” he noted.
The new Runway Lip Color collection replaces the previous Lip Color line and features 18 shades — 10 new and eight brought over from the previous range. The collection also includes Runway Lip Pencils in eight shades, with the lipsticks priced at $62 and the pencils at $46.
While Angelina is embracing this exciting new chapter in her career, she recently faced a personal scare involving her son Pax. The 20-year-old was hospitalized after a serious e-bike accident on Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles. Reports indicate that Pax collided with a stopped vehicle at a congested intersection when the traffic light turned red. He was not wearing a helmet at the time and suffered a head injury and hip pain.
Despite initial concerns about minor brain bleeding, Pax is now said to be stable, with sources close to the family revealing that Angelina rushed to be by his side at the hospital. “He is stable,” a source told Page Six, adding that Angelina is staying with Pax as he recuperates. It’s expected that he may be discharged from the hospital soon.
This incident comes amid ongoing legal battles between Angelina and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. The former couple, who share six children, have been locked in disputes over child custody and the ownership of their French vineyard, Chateau Miraval, since their split in 2016. Although they were declared legally single in 2019, their legal struggles continue.
