We are dripping with pride as Ananya Panday has become the first-ever Indian ambassador of Chanel! In just six years since her Bollywood debut, the twenty-six-year-old has become one of the most prominent style icons of the industry, going global with one of the biggest brands. After giving consistent hits with her film performances, this marks a big step in Panday’s career.
Ananya Panday Becomes Chanel Ambassador
Ananya Panday’s selection was highly predicted by industry insiders and fans when she appeared in Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris. Her numerous appearances in the brand, including at events such as a famous Mumbai dinner, as well as regular brand mentions to her 25.9 million Instagram followers and being dressed in the brand for various magazine covers, hinted at a blossoming relationship.
Chanel told BoF, “Ananya characterises a generation of evolving tastes and fiercely independent identities who navigate the world with their curiosities.” They said that her values matched with the brand, making her the perfect choice.
Panday is also the face of Swarovski and has previously headlined Jimmy Choo’s India ads, as well as representing a wide range of brands such as Lakmé, Beats, and Timex. While luxury companies have partnered with Indian celebrities such as Sonam Kapoor (Dior), Alia Bhatt (Gucci), and Deepika Padukone (Louis Vuitton, Cartier), Panday is the first of her generation to be named a renowned ambassador for a legacy brand like Chanel. We are so proud of her!
The Call Me Bae actress will next be seen in Kesari 2 starring Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan.
