Viola Davis has been announced as an international spokeswoman for L'Oreal Paris. The actress will appear in the brand's Age Perfect campaigns (across TV, print and digital) later this month. The first black actress to win the 'triple crown' of acting - an Oscar, Emmy and Tony award - Davis joins fellow A-list celebrities including Helen Mirren and Eva Longoria in L'Oreal's roster, which is designed to encourage beauty inclusivity and empowerment. "I worked tremendously hard to get where I am today – overcoming feelings of doubt to become a woman who truly believes I am ‘worth it’ in every way," says Davis. "I believe it’s so important to build confidence in women from a young age, and to role model diverse perspectives of beauty. To now be part of a brand that has been championing women’s worth for more than 40 years and to use my voice to help empower others is truly surreal.”
