Thuso Mbedu in the past couple of years has successfully transitioned from a South African actress aspiring for a mainstream global acting career to a fully-fledged Hollywood rising A-lister. This comes after the Underground Railraod lead turned The Woman King co-star has asserted herself as one of the young-must-watch talents in Hollywood.
As such, Mbedu recently took to social media to celebrate yet another milestone in her career as one of the leading global beauty brands add her to their list of ambassadors.
Recently, without a film to her name, Thuso was part of the celebrities that walked the red carpet at this past official Cannes Film Festival. In what is becoming Thuso’s signature, she wore her braids and sidecut on the red carpet.
At the time, it might have not been clear as to why Thuso got an invite. However, the matter was quickly made clear when just hours after her red carpet moment, international beauty brand L’Oreal took to social media to announce:
“We are thrilled to announce the talented South African actress Thuso Mbedu as a new brand ambassador and spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
In addition to her successful international acting career, Thuso is passionate about empowering women and girls by providing them with educational resources alongside the non-profit organization Save The Children. Together, we look forward to inspiring and uplifting individuals of all backgrounds to embrace their beauty, celebrate diversity and foster self-confidence.
Welcome to the L'Oréal Paris Family, Thuso!”
Grateful and excited to join the L’Oréal family as their brand ambassador and spokesperson for Sub-Saharan Africa.

In light of the announcement, Thuso received wide congratulatory messages on social media. Including from her co-star and now close friend, EGOT, Viola Davis.
With Thuso bagging the L’Oreal deal, she marks her second international beauty and fashion deal of 2023. This comes after in March 2023, it was confirmed that Thuso was one of the Christian Dior ambassadors as she was flown to Paris Fashion Week by the brand.
Attending her very first Paris Fashion Week, global sensation superstar and actress Thuso Mbedu left jaws dropped on social media. Dripped in a Dior two-piece denim ensemble, Mbedu was the moment and everybody could attest to that.
The Woman King star has certainly cemented her name as a household brand in Hollywood. Since her international debut film, The Underground Railroad, Mbedu has never looked back ever since.
Thuso Mbedu has without a doubt transcended beyond her expectations and the international stage and audience is eating out of her palm. Mbedu recently attended her very first Paris Fashion Work courtesy of Dior and she certainly turned heads in the city of love
