At just 17 years old, actress Ariana Greenblatt has been announced as the newest ambassador for L\u2019Or\u00e9al Paris. Reflecting on the honor, Greenblatt shared that it initially felt overwhelming.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhen I found out I was going to be an ambassador, I didn\u2019t know what to expect,\u201d she told PEOPLE<\/em>. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I met everyone at L\u2019Or\u00e9al Paris that I truly understood how special this opportunity was. What I love most about the brand is the people behind it, they\u2019ve been incredibly kind and welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Greenblatt is currently representing L\u2019Or\u00e9al Paris at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, where the brand marks its 28th year as the official makeup partner. Cannes also hosts the Lights on Women\u2019s Worth Awards, now in its fifth year, an initiative launched by L\u2019Or\u00e9al Paris to spotlight emerging female voices in film.<\/p>\n
This year, Oscar-winning actress and fellow L\u2019Or\u00e9al Paris ambassador Viola Davis joins the program as a juror. She will present the 2025 award to a standout female director from either the Cannes Short Film Competition or the La Cinef selection.<\/p>\n
Greenblatt emphasized the importance of the initiative: \u201cWomen in film are often underestimated and underappreciated. Being part of a brand that prioritizes and uplifts women in this industry aligns deeply with my values.\u201d<\/p>\n
During her first time at Cannes, Greenblatt has embraced the full experience. \u201cI love the weather, the food, and the people. Waking up to an ocean view feels like a dream. It\u2019s chaotic, but in the best way. I enjoy seeing everyone\u2019s looks, it\u2019s exciting and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
