What the Brand’s Executives Said

Two executives are quoted in the announcement. Laura Branik, president of L’Oréal Paris USA, said that welcoming Arjona, whose heritage is an important part of her perspective, is especially meaningful. She added that the brand is proud to have her voice in carrying its belief forward.

Laetitia Toupet, the brand’s Global Brand President, said Arjona combines positive energy with an independent spirit and an unshakeable resolve to choose her own path. LatF USA reports that Toupet presented Arjona as an example of what the slogan means in 2026.

Comic Basics reports that Arjona tied the slogan to her own upbringing. She said her matriarchal influences shaped her views on identity and worth, and that growing up around strong Latina women taught her that beauty starts with inner confidence.

She closed her statement with the Spanish line “Porque tú lo vales,” a Spanish version of the slogan, per Comic Basics. She also called representing her heritage on a global stage meaningful.

What the Ambassador Role Involves

According to LatF USA, Arjona will appear in brand storytelling and lead pillar product campaigns for categories including makeup, skincare, haircare and hair color. The first appearances are planned across digital, social and broadcast platforms nationwide in the coming weeks.

Comic Basics reports that she is the headline face of the upcoming Volume Liberté mascara campaign, her first for the brand. It gives no launch date. Later product lines are to cover haircare and color innovations.

The announcement also included a promotional video. Comic Basics describes it as showing Arjona walking in silhouette across a sunlit, reflective floor under a glowing amber sky.

The partnership also includes a multimedia initiative alongside the product work. Two of her cherished daily rituals, “Pause Café” and “Pause Cafécito,” frame candid conversations about matriarchal wisdom, family lineage and owning one’s story. LatF USA says Arjona enjoys her favorite sweets during them.

The first draws on a Parisian coffee break and the second on a Latin one. Comic Basics describes the series as pairing conversation with cherished personal rituals and exploring her background.

Who Arjona Is on Screen

Comic Basics says her breakout turns came in Andor, the Star Wars series, and Richard Linklater’s Hit Man, a neo-noir romantic comedy. It also lists Adam Wingard’s Onslaught, an action thriller.

Her other credits in the same list include Zoë Kravitz’s Blink Twice, a psychological mystery thriller. The article also names Amazon MGM Studios’ reimagining of The Thomas Crown Affair, in which it says she is cast opposite Michael B. Jordan, citing The Hollywood Reporter.

The announcement presents her as both an actress and a producer.

How the Brand Uses Its Ambassadors Across Markets

L’Oréal Paris has shown its ambassadors together at major public events in 2026. Retail Boss reported that on the first day of the 79th Festival de Cannes, which runs from 12 to 23 May, Heidi Klum, Alia Bhatt, Carlos Sainz, Jane Fonda, Philippine Leroy Beaulieu and Gong Li climbed the Palais steps together.

Retail Boss describes the group as a cross-generational lineup of the brand’s “family.” The report says they also posed on the terrace of Hôtel Martinez, each in a distinct look but with a shared style of polished, luminous makeup.

The same report says L’Oréal Paris has been the festival’s Official Makeup Artist partner since 1997 and returned as Official Beauty Partner for the 29th consecutive year. It says the lineup’s mix of diversity and cohesion anchors the brand’s Cannes storytelling: “different faces, one beauty language.”

The brand also pairs global names with regional ones. Retail Boss reported on the Le Défilé show during Paris Fashion Week, in an article published on 30 September 2026. Céline Dion performed, and the report says her performance supplied a widely recognisable moment.

Elena Rose, a singer, represented the Central America and Andean region on the same international stage. Edouard Hottebart, general manager of the regional hub, described Rose as an ambassador whose appearance brought visibility to a team spanning 12 countries.

He also credited colleagues behind the scenes for making her participation possible. The show was open to the public and livestreamed across the brand’s digital platforms.

Where the Arjona Appointment Fits

The announcement carries statements from L’Oréal Paris USA’s leadership as well as its Global Brand President, and the first campaigns are described as nationwide.

Retail Boss names Heidi Klum, Alia Bhatt and Carlos Sainz among the ambassadors who climbed the Cannes steps together.

Debuts are due across digital, social and broadcast channels in the weeks after 27 October.
