by Surina Belk-Gupta
Bvlgari announces its newest global ambassador. The fashion titan’s list of ambassadors shines with A-List names like Julian Moore, Zendaya, and Rachel Weiz. Their newest addition? None other than unofficial Bollywood and Hollywood royalty, Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
Prior to this, Chopra Jonas was an ambassador for UNICEF GOODWILL. Her social activism earned her the prestigious Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award—a testament to her long withstanding positive contributions to the world. Her work covers a myriad of issues but is often tied back to a strong movement for the rights and lives of young women internationally.
Chopra Jonas has since spent her recent months focusing on her birthplace, South Asia, as it faces the ongoing tragedy of the second wave of COVID-19. Partnering with non-profits to help India. Her fundraiser exceeded a million-dollar goal by tripling it.
“India holds a special place in our hearts at Bvlgari. Not only does it offer us a continuous source of inspiration, but this rich, incredible land provides us with some of the most precious gems of nature to craft our creations, from jewelry to fragrances,” says Bvlgari chief executive officer, Jean-Christophe Babin. “I’m beyond excited that Priyanka is joining our family. With her beauty, talent, and humanitarian commitment, she is an inspiring role model for millions of women in the world. I’m sure that together we will develop exciting projects, with a significant social impact. We already partnered in the past on another famous luxury Brand and know each other very well.”
Entwined in the nation of India, the Italian brand has since worked with Firmenich, a perfume company, on a flower farming project titled “Flower Gems of India.“ The project is an effort to develop a new model of Jasmine Farming that is sustainable and involves 100 family-owned Farmed in Tamil Nadu. The project provides the chance to not only increase profits of the small businesses but also the quality of the flower in general.
It comes as no surprise that Chopra Jonas is pleased to join the forward-thinking Jewelry staple. “I have always admired and been fascinated by Bvlgari’s magnificent works of art, so many of which celebrate some of the most precious resources of my homeland. From the rare colorful gemstones used in Bvlgari’s timeless jewelry creations, to the scented flowers which become the main ingredients of its luxurious fragrances, we connect so organically over our love for India and the beauty it has to offer,” says Priyanka Chopra Jonas. “At the same time, I endeavor to align myself with brands that recognize their immense social responsibility. Bvlgari has made great impact in their efforts to support children in need around the world, and I look forward to working together to continue that work .”
Staying as busy as always Priyanka Chopra Jonas has a multitude of upcoming onscreen appearances coming, including the massive December release of Matrix 4. Following that she will be in Text for You and new amazon drama series, Citadel.
