Confirmed: Arlenis to Lancome

arlenis perfect face.jpg Wow, this just in from WWD:

The news we broke way back in July - that Arlenis is the new face of Lancome - is absolutely true!

Lancome can't say exactly for how long the Dominican cutie will front their array of mascaras and lip glosses, but they can say that her ads, shot by Dusan Reljin, will break some time after the new year.

We're ecstatic that our pick for best new model got such a huge (and coveted) beauty contract so soon out of the gate - remember that just at the beginning of this year, Arlenis was still a student without any idea she'd be posing for several editions of Vogue and walking for big shows like Oscar by the end of what would have been "next semester."

And do we even have to mention how much we love that Lancome seems to be diversifying their stable of models more and more?

arlenis exudes such a natural beauty, so that's probably why lancome chose her as the new face even though she's relatively new. lancome has always chosen such great faces--daria, for example.

i like models to be a little more established before something this big happens.

arlenis is such a nice person!
i didn't know that she's a star yet and everytime we met she was so nice! I'm really happy for her.
but saying this like we can kiss agyness deyn godbey is just so over the top. agyness is the most amazing person I've ever met.
after meeting agyness all the other models like lovely arlenis or even jessica stam seem just like wooden racks...
