This appointment is dedicated to the designs of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Peter Philips. It is no secret that the award-winning actress wears Dior frequently – her outfit at the Critic’s Choice Awards is a perfect example.

Aside from acting or modelling, this beautiful young lady is studying for a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University. She has appeared in TV shows such as Black-ish and Grown-ish and movies like Imagine That and Smallfoot. Additionally, she was featured in Time magazine’s 2016 list of the world’s most influential teens.

21-year-old Yara Shahidi is of mixed African American and Iranian descent. At the young age of 6, she appeared in commercials for McDonald’s, Ralph Lauren, Target, GapKids, Guess Kids, and Disney.

New York’s Women’s Management modelling agency signed her in 2016 and Net-a-Porter ranked her as one of 2018’s best-dressed women.

Additionally, Shahidi founded Eighteen x 18, a platform for encouraging her peers to vote in upcoming elections for the very first time. Furthermore, former first lady Michelle Obama commended her for her activism and played a pivotal role in composing her letter of recommendation to Harvard University.

Among the Dior, ambassadors are Natalie Portman, Jennifer Laurance, and Cara Delevinge.
