Estée Lauder has named model Karlie Kloss as its latest global brand ambassador.

“It is a dream come true to join the Estée Lauder family," said Kloss, who has also been a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris since 2014 and previously starred in beauty campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, Dior, Bulgari, Chanel and Juicy Couture.

"I am so inspired by the brand's legacy and values — from the entrepreneurial spirit of Estée herself to the company's unparalleled commitment to creating best in class products for women around the world. I could not be more proud and honoured to be part of such an iconic brand."
