Revlon just named Jessica Biel their newest brand ambassador.
She joins a long list, including Jennifer Connelly, Elle MacPherson and Halle Berry and will eventually be shot for an international campaign and participate in all of Revlon’s charitable causes.
Initial thought? How does one land such a massive beauty contract when one does nothing but date an insanely successful guy? But WWD anticipated that question and explained that the actress does in fact have a few major movies coming out, one with Jake Gyllenhaal and another with Colin Firth.
And of course she’s busy playing “muse” to Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala. She’ll wear a custom William Rast gown to tonight’s ball - with Revlon lipstick?
When we heard Jessica Biel was planning on designing a line of handbags for William Rast, not only were we annoyed, but we were confused.
It turns out our feelings of unease were founded -
According to People, rumors of Jessica designing were just that: rumors.
So rest easy. That is, until the next announcement from Hilary Duff / Miley Cyrus / whoever.
We know that just about every celebrity under the sun has started ‘designing’ their own fashion line, but this one really threw us for a loop - Jessica Biel is set to design a collection of handbags for Justin Timberlake’s line, William Rast.
Sure, Jess always looks pretty, but we were under the impression that her knowledge of fashion didn’t go past her True Religion jeans and Juicy Couture sweaters. She doesn’t turn up at the requisite star-studded fashion shows, nor is she particularly known for her style - we always thought that her casual look was decidedly un-fashion.
So why the foray into one of fashion’s most coveted accessories?
Apparently, if you’re a celebrity these days, anything is possible. Oh, and it probably doesn’t hurt that her boyfriend owns the line either.
