Rachel Zegler’s rise from West Side Story starlet to beauty muse is a tale sprinkled with nostalgia, a dash of color, and a whole lot of Dior. In a recent Vanity Fair chat, Zegler spilled the beans on her deep-rooted connection to Dior’s Rouge lipstick, linking past and present in a stroke of fate.
Picture this: her mother’s first big buy in the U.S. was Dior’s 999, a shade now synonymous with Zegler herself as she dazzles in the brand’s latest campaign. From belting out tunes as Maria to voicing a princess in ‘Spellbound,’ Zegler’s journey is peppered with vibrant roles that mirror her real-life love affair with bold, expressive shades of lipstick.
