Lily Collins is Lancôme's newest brand ambassador

(AFP) The French cosmetics brand announced on October 1 that it has chosen British actress and model Lily Collins, daughter of legendary singer Phil Collins, as the latest face representing its makeup collections.

The young brunette joins a number of illustrious actresses who are Lancôme brand ambassadors, including Julia Roberts and Penelope Cruz.

Phil Collins's daughter made her on-screen debut in the film The Blind Side before becoming known to a wider audience in Mirror Mirror, an adaptation of Snow White.

At age 24, Lily Collins, whose beauty has been compared to that of Audrey Hepburn, already has an impressive resume, including experience as a journalist, actress, model and now Lancôme brand ambassador.

Lily Collins said that is was "an absolute honor and a privilege" to be chosen to represent Lancôme, noting that she has "always admired the brand's unique and distinctive appreciation for inner beauty and grace, elegance and utter radiance."

The actress will appear in campaigns for Lancôme's Spring 2014 makeup collection, "French Ballerine", starting in January.
