American actress Nia Long has been unveiled as Estée Lauder's first brand ambassador for North America.

Long commented 'I have long looked up to Mrs. Lauder's belief that taking care of yourself didn't need a special occasion, it was an act of self love. Her groundbreaking spirit as a multidimensional woman - entrepreneur, mother and leader - is something I deeply respect and connect with. I'm proud to step into this role as the brand's first ambassador for North America and be part of Estée Lauder's enduring legacy'.
