Meet Estée Lauder’s Newest Ambassador

Many have compared her to the legendary supermodel, Naomi Campbell. Now, it is clear that Anok Yai is building an astonishing career of her own as the new face of Estée Lauder.

This young, Egyptian-born, Sudanese-American model has become one of the most popular faces in recent times. In addition to her making her debut in the beauty sector, Anok Yai has already modeled for Prada and Givenchy. Like Naomi Campbell, her achievements have been all the more significant given that she is one of the few models of color circulating in the high rungs of the fashion industry. Now, Yai joins the Lauder family and the likes of Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss, and Joan Smalls. In her words: “I’m really happy about working with Estée Lauder, and I’m honored to represent one of the leading brands in the beauty sector. I just hope that I can inspire all women to feel good about themselves.”

Anok Yai’s first campaign with Estée Lauder will launch in August and we’re already excited.
