Hollywood and Chanel no 5 The Next Love Story
By Jo Phillips
Since its first inception in 1925 a rather chic French businesswoman and belle of the Parisian social elite created a scent that revolutionised the way women smell. Ninety years later Chanel No 5 is arguably still the world’s most iconic perfume. The face and also those associated with it have often been just as legendary as Mademoiselle Chanel herself. Today they announce their latest glow star to be the face of No5.
CHANEL is pleased to announce that Margot Robbie will be the face of the new advertising campaign dedicated to the iconic N°5 perfume.
Ambassador of the House since March 2018, the Australian actress and producer is part of the lineage of great actresses who have in turn embodied the essence of this unique scent.
From Coco Chanel initially via Suzy Parker, Ali MacGraw, Jean Shrimpton, Catherine Deneuve all the way to another Australian face, Nicole Kidman all have been the leading lady of the scent.
Continually evolving her diverse body of work, Margot Robbie brings gripping narratives to life in coveted roles that speak to her powerful on-screen presence. Since her breakthrough in The Wolf of Wall Street by Martin Scorcese in 2013, Margot Robbie has notably played Sharon Tate for Quentin Tarantino in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and her performance as an ambitious young woman who started over again in Babylon was unforgettable. She received her first Oscar nomination for I, Tonya, an independent feature telling the controversial story of Olympic figure skater, Tonya Harding, which she also produced under her LuckyChap production banner.
Most recently, Margot Robbie produced and starred in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, a global phenomenon, which went on to receive eight Oscar nominations.
Margot Robbie has numerous film and television development projects with LuckyChap, all of which correspond to their objective of finding and championing female stories, female voices and emerging filmmakers.
An Academy Award nominated actress and a visionary producer, Margot Robbie is a woman who has decided to create the conditions for her own accomplishments, always with the desire to tell stories carried by strong female figures in mind. Her career as an actress and producer is impressive, her aura is irresistible, her charisma, both powerful and serene, resonates in every way with the unique character of the iconic N°5.
“I think CHANEL N°5 is one of the most iconic fragrances in the world. It’s incredible to be a part of it. There’s such an impressive lineage of women who’ve been associated with the fragrance over the years. I am very honoured to be joining that long list of incredible talents.”
