CoverGirl's Newest Ambassador is 69-Year-Old Maye Musk
Laura McQuarrie — October 4, 2017 — Fashion
Over the years, Maye Musk (Elon Musk's mother) has made a name for herself as a model, dietitian and nutritionist with two master’s degrees—and now, the 69-year-old is also being recognized as the newest CoverGirl ambassador.
This year, CoverGil previously announced two diverse ambassadors: James Charles—its first-ever cover boy—and Muslim beauty blogge Nura Afia. As Musk says: "I’m turning 70 in April of next year. I think that women will be really inspired to see that even at 69 you can get a beauty campaign." In continuing to diversify the representatives that it chooses as the face of its company, CoverGirl strengthens its commitment to more authentic and inclusive representations of beauty.
Over the last few years, Musk has been the feature of magazine covers, brand campaigns and high-end editorials.
