Kate Winslet has landed a lucrative contract with French cosmetics powerhouse, Lancome. She takes the reigns from Isabella Rosellini in promoting the legendary perfume Tresor. Taking a break from her current filming of Revolutionary Road in NYC, she flew to Paris this week for the “unveiling, ” and stayed at the Ritz.
Her inauguration was feted at the Musee Rodin in front of fans, artists, and press. The campaign, which will launch in September, was shot by famed photographer Peter Lindberg on the Pont-des-Arts.
Wearing a tight black Valentino dress from the Fall 2007 collection, she commented on her new role:
“I didn’t feel that I was just being asked to be the face of something,” Kate explains. “It was me as a person. . .and my message to women — about being real in who you are and comfortable in your skin.”
