NEW BEGINNING: Dior has named Mikey Madison its first brand ambassador since appointing Jonathan Anderson as creative director of women’s, men’s and haute couture collections.

The nomination comes as Anderson prepares to unveil his debut women’s collection at Paris Fashion Week on Oct. 1. The American actress joins a roster that includes Jenna Ortega, Jisoo, Rosalía and Anya Taylor-Joy.

“Mikey Madison is an incredibly talented actress. Her empathetic approach perfectly reflects the house of Dior and I am extremely excited to work together,” Anderson said in a statement shared exclusively with WWD. 

Madison wore Dior on the biggest night of her career so far: She channeled Old Hollywood in a reproduction of a vintage Dior couture gown from 1956 at the Oscars, where she picked up the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as an exotic dancer in Sean Baker’s “Anora.”

Her appointment chimes with Anderson’s reputation for working with talents ranging from arthouse film stars to pop culture icons. 

“Jonathan is inspiring to me as a designer because of how he tells stories with his collections and the playfulness and originality he injects into every collection,” Madison said. 

“I’m so proud and honored to be joining the house of Dior as a global ambassador at the start of this next chapter under Jonathan’s creative direction,” she added.

Since “Anora” scooped the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year, Madison has collected accolades including a BAFTA and an Independent Spirit Award. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics’ Choice Award.

Following roles in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Scream 5,” the actress is set to appear next in “The Masque of the Red Death,” a loose take on the short story by Edgar Allen Poe, directed by Charlie Polinger. 

Madison is also an ambassador for U.S. jeweler Tiffany & Co. which, like Dior, is owned by luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
