Rimmel Gets Another Face

May 12, 2008 @ 8:59am

sopie ellis bextor.jpgThere have been rumors of Kate Moss being ousted from her post as the Rimmel girl for some time, but now there are rumors that name an actual replacement -


Catwalk Queen's reporting that the mass beauty brand has signed another face to star alongside Kate, and it's Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

The English pop star's reportedly signed a multi-pound, three-year contract requiring her to shoot two campaigns per year, the first of which is already finished.

Coty, Rimmel's parent company, claims they're just looking for new faces to reach new global markets, but that Kate will stay on as the brand's worldwide ambassador.

We're wondering if the beautiful Laurie Bing will finally be bumped up from press model to public ad girl, but we guess we'll have to wait and see...

This girl has a face for makeup and not one that just serves as a challenge for under-eye concealer a la Moss.

i guess it'll give sophie something to do since her latest cd was pretty much a flop...though i did like "colour me in." maybe her music will be featured in an ad?

First guest is completely right. Few women wear make up as adventurously and successfully as her. She's ideal. And my god, her skin.... if I don't screw up massively in this lifetime, I'm coming back as Sophie Ellis Bextor's skin.

"Multi-pound, three-year contract"? I should hope so! You make it sound like they're handing her a tenner for a taxi after the shoot ... LOL.

I agree with guest @2:02PM... multi-pound? As opposed to paying her a single pound?

I thought it was Madonna at first.
