She's the Grammy-nominated, Brit-winning soul singer and songwriter that took 2018 by storm with her debut album, and now ELLE cover star Jorja Smith has just landed her next major deal.

Having collaborated with everyone from Stormzy to Kendrick Lamar, the soul songstress is turning her talents to the world of cosmetics, bagging the role of Dior Make-Up Ambassador. Smith joins fellow Dior beauty ambassadors Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid.

Speaking on Smith's fabulous new title, Dior said, 'This collaboration is an opportunity for the young prodigy of British soul, with her velvety voice and powerful lyrics, to experience the intense, multi-faceted creative world of Dior Make-Up.

The snazzy new ambassadorship comes at the perfect time, with the 21-year-old gracing the cover of ELLE's June issue. After bagging a coveted place on the inaugural ELLE List: 50 Movers And Shakers Of The Moment last year alongside fellow Brits, model Fran Summers and actress Letitia Wright, we've continued our love affair with the West Midlands singer.

Interviewed by fashion model, Adwoa Aboah, the friends discuss growing up mixed race, being comfortable in their own skin, dealing with fame and the meaning of beauty. ‘It’s being comfortable in your skin, and knowing that your imperfections make you perfect. You have to realise that you’ve got flaws and they’re fine – they just make you who you are.’

Congrats Jorja!
