Quvenzhané Wallis, the youngest child to ever be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, is now the face of Giorgio Armani’s line for children and teens, Armani Junior.
Wallis, the Beasts of the Southern Wild star, will be the face of the fall ad campaign for Armani Junior. 10-year-old Wallis, who is also starring in the Annie remake, is actually the first child celebrity to serve as the face of a luxury brand like Armani.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Wallis said, “I’m so happy to be chosen by Mr. Armani to be his ambassador for Armani Junior. I felt the same excitement when I got cast for a major film. Me? Wow! I was honored to wear his custom gown to the Oscars. It made me feel like a princess.”
Congratulations go out to Quvenzhané Wallis. This young lady is definitely doing big things and we are proud.
