The cosmetics company M•A•C has formally entered into a long-term agreement with musician Chappell Roan and appointed her as a Global Brand Ambassador beginning with campaigns in 2026. The announcement highlights a perceived alignment between the artist’s public identity — which is noted for its theatricality, advocacy for LGBTQIA+ communities, and emphasis on authentic self-expression — and the brand’s historical positioning around inclusivity and artistic makeup.
Chappell Roan's inaugural imagery as the Global Brand Ambassador for M•A•C was captured by legendary photography duo Inez & Vinoodh. The visuals boast a stylized aesthetic described as a graphic and monochromatic interpretation of androgyny.
Chappell Roan shared about the new partnership: Partnering with M•A•C feels full circle. This brand has always made space for people like me; since day one, they've embraced art, queerness, drag, and self-expression."
