Armani Beauty recently announced that they have appointed 24-year-old Brazilian supermodel Valentina Sampaio as their new makeup ambassador, causing a stir in the beauty industry as everyone tries to uncover the mystery behind this supermodel.
It should be noted that every spokesperson or makeup ambassador for Armani Beauty is a top-tier celebrity. The most popular one is undoubtedly the international actress Cate Blanchett, who serves as the global spokesperson for the brand’s makeup, skincare, and perfume lines. In addition to Cate, there are other well-known names such as supermodel Barbara Palvin, actor Ryan Reynolds, and emerging Chinese heartthrob Yi Yangqianxi. Compared to these superstar figures, Valentina Sampaio is definitely a lesser-known name. Are you not curious about her talents that have earned Mr. Armani’s favor and allowed her to become a brand ambassador?
Valentina Sampaio hails from a small fishing village in Brazil, and from a young age, she was aware of her desire to become a woman. At the age of 10, she underwent gender confirmation surgery, officially realizing her dream of becoming a daughter. In early 2016, after appearing at Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Brazil, she caught the fashion industry’s attention with her delicate features, perfect proportions, and exceptional confidence, quickly rising to fame. A year later, as a “rookie” in the international supermodel scene, Valentina has already graced the cover of French Vogue, marking her first time as a cover girl for a fashion magazine.
Valentina’s most talked-about work in her career was in 2020 when she graced the cover of the Spanish edition of “Harper’s Bazaar” alongside Mr. Armani. With her unique personal style and strong beliefs, she has won the admiration of Mr. Armani and has become one of the calendar girls for Emporio Armani’s 40th-anniversary calendar. Now, she has officially joined as the first transgender makeup ambassador for Armani Beauty, which is definitely an encouragement and affirmation for Valentina.
