Zoe Saldana and Demi Moore celebrated being named Lancôme ambassadors with a fun-filled girls' night out in New York City on Friday. The Guardians Of The Galaxy star, 47, and The Substance star, 63, were all smiles while leaving a private event arm-in-arm.
Zoe looked effortlessly stylish in a white perfectly tailored suit, featuring a double breasted blazer and trousers. She added extra height with strappy heels, accessorised with gold jewellery while sweeping back her long dark locks into a ponytail. Demi was also suited and booted for her Big Apple outing with a plaid blazer, boasting shoulder pads, layered over a crisp white shirt and navy trousers. The stunner showcased her timeless beauty with minimal make-up while letting her glossy black hair loose.
The two actresses are fronting the brand's new Longevity MD line, with Demi being announced as the face of the Reset cream. The film star is famed for her age-defying looks and flawless skin and shared how she stays looking so young by focusing on the self-care aspect of beauty.
Demi said that her Oscar-nominated role in 2024 film The Substance influenced the way she perceives ageing and beauty standards. The gory body horror tackled the issue of impossible Hollywood beauty standards head on, with Demi playing fading film star Elisabeth Sparkle, who is unceremoniously sacked after turning 50. Desperate to reclaim her youth, she discovers a black-market drug which can create a 'younger, more beautiful, more perfect' version of its user but comes with strict and gruesome conditions.
Speaking to ELLE, Demi explained how starring in the film reinforced her love of skincare to keep looking strong and healthy, as she declared 'ageing is a gift'. 'Filming The Substance was a very intense, visceral experience that really highlighted the dangers of self-judgment,' she explained. 'The most beautiful thing we can do is care for ourselves with kindness. I've viewed wellness and skin care as an act of gratitude, but this experience helped underscore that. I want to use products that work with my skin to help it stay resilient and healthy.'
Sharing the 'life-changing' secret behind her youthful and taut appearance, the Ghost star said: 'I've become very intentional about my evening routine. Taking the time to truly transition from the chaos of the day into a state of rest has been life-changing, and part of that is doing my skin care. It's the small, daily acts of self-care that lead to the most enduring results.'
She said that she connected with the new Lancôme collection because of the emphasis on longevity and self-care. 'Lately for me, I've come to view longevity as sort of an alignment. I say a lot now that it's not about the amount of time; it's about the quality of time you have. Ageing is a gift, and longevity helps you to thrive as you age, to really invest in your future. And with Longevity MD from Lancôme, I've been using the Reset Cream for a few months now. It feels like I'm investing in the future of my skin, and really supporting it from within.'
Lancôme Global Brand President Vania Lacascade shared her excitement over the partnership with Demi, gushing in a statement: 'We are absolutely delighted to welcome Demi Moore to our Collective. A true pioneer, Demi embodies a remarkable resilience and has always forged her own path with fearlessness and conviction. Her vision of beauty as a form of self-determination at every stage of life deeply resonates with Lancôme. We admire her unapologetic femininity, and her ability to inspire without compromise. There is a strength in how Demi embraces every chapter of her journey, challenging traditional narratives around age and power. She has never followed a predictable path, and her constant evolution proves that experience doesn't diminish beauty, it enriches it.'
While Demi said in her own statement: 'Lancôme stands for beauty on every level beyond just the surface. It stands for progress, for the science of possibility and for the belief that women deserve to feel beautiful and uplifted at every life stage. Learning to accept oneself is a journey and it is my honour to partner with a house that celebrates the same spirit. Beauty is an act of self-care, self-love, and self-acceptance and that is what I hope to embody in our partnership.'
Joining Demi in fronting the Absolue Longevity MD campaign is fellow actress Zoe, 47, who is the face of the Intercept duo consisting of a serum and cream specially targeted to those aged between 35 and 55. Opening up about becoming an ambassador for the brand, she called it perfect timing and said it felt like a true partnership because Lancôme listened to her ideas and opinions.
