Diana Penty Replaces Deepika Padukone as Brand Ambassador

Maybelline has chosen Indian model Diana Penty as new face. This brings more opportunities for Diana to join the international super models like Adriana Lima and Christy Turlington “I feel great to get this break to endorse a brand that is so lively 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 publicity,” Penty said in a declaration.

Currently Penty is a student of the Elite Model Management, where Sushma Puri is the CEO. “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.

Deepika Padukone was named the brand ambassador of Maybelline in June 2007.

Diana is delighted on another good news as well. Diana Penty, has been signed on to play the lead role in Imtiaz Ali’s film Rockstar, top lining Ranbir Kappor.

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 was searching for a suitable actress for the new project- new face or old. 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.

Lucky Diana, Imtiaz has signed up Diana for the movie named “Rockstar” against the ‘Wake Up Sid’ actor.

Diana is a newcomer for the bigscreen, however she’s done ads for various cosmetic brands. As the name implies “Rockstar” is all about pop music and the love between musicians. According to a source, Imtiaz was looking out for a girl with a mod, grungy look and Diana fitted the bill.
