Diana Penty Replaces Deepika Padukone as Brand Ambassador of Maybelline

Diana Penty is replacing Deepika Padukone as the new face of international cosmetics brand Maybelline New York. With this, she joins the ranks of international supermodels like Adriana Lima and Christy Turlington. “I feel great to get this opportunity to endorse a brand that is so vibrant and truly multi-ethnic. For me it is not only about whom I am replacing but it’s about being on the same platform as international models and get international exposure,” Penty said in a statement.

Penty is a student of the Elite Model Management and its CEO Sushma Puri was all praise for the young model. “Diana has a face that is very versatile and appeals to both Indian and international markets and she is also young, beautiful and confident. This makes her the ideal choice for any international brand,” Puri said.

In June 2007 Deepika Padukone was engaged as the brand ambassador of Maybelline.

Diana is delighted on another good news as well. Director Imtiaz Ali has signed up Diana Penty for the next project and she will be romancing Ranbir Kappor in it.

The film has been in the news ever since Imtiaz approached Katrina Kaif for the female lead role and she refused. Imtiaz then almost signed Anushka Sharma, but then decided a new face would work better. The fact that Diana had starred in an advertisement with Ranbir worked in her favor. Imtiaz Ali has apparently been ambivalent about who to sign as Ranbir’s love interest in the film – a new face or an already established actress from Bollywood. For some time he even toyed with the idea of roping in one-film-old Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif for the film, but later dropped the idea.

Finally, we hear that the director of hit romantic films like Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal has finalized model Diana Penty for the film.

Diana is a popular model in Mumbai and has also worked with Ranbir in a Virgin Mobile commercial. As the name implies “Rockstar” is all about pop music and the love between musicians. Imtiaz Ali is happy with the grungy looking Diana Penty for the role.
