Monica Barbaro, the American actress celebrated for her portrayal of the iconic singer-songwriter Joan Baez in the biopic “A Complete Unknown,” has been named the new ambassador for Dior, under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri. This appointment follows her recent Academy Award nomination, further cementing her rising star in both the cinematic and fashion realms. Barbaro’s new role with Dior underscores a harmonious alignment between her screen persona and the fashion house’s ethos of bold femininity and relentless innovation.
Dior has been lauded for its commitment to celebrating women’s voices across various platforms, making Barbaro an ideal fit for the brand. Chiuri’s collections often draw inspiration from revolutionary female figures and stories, aligning well with Barbaro’s recent role as Baez, who herself was an emblem of artistic audacity and social activism.
Known for her elegant and powerful screen presence, Barbaro embodies the Dior woman, audacious and expressive. Her influence extends beyond fashion, as her performances offer new narratives about women’s roles in society, echoing Dior’s own evolution under Chiuri’s feminist influence.

This unique alliance also reflects the special ties that have historically connected Dior with the world of art and culture. By choosing ambassadors who are not only fashion icons but also influential artists in their own right, Dior continues to foster a legacy of supporting and celebrating cultural figures. The collaboration with Monica Barbaro is expected to enhance this tradition, bringing a renewed creative energy and inspiration to Dior’s upcoming collections.
With upcoming campaigns and public appearances, Barbaro is set to redefine what it means to be a fashion ambassador in an era that values both aesthetic beauty and cultural depth.
