Valentine’s Day star Julia Roberts has been named as the new face of Lancome.

The 42-year-old mum was recently unveiled as the new global ambassador for the L’Oreal brand.

Talking about her new responsibilities, she told WWD: “I think I have to stand up straighter and wash my face more.

“It’s kind of like every girl’s dream, really.

“To be 42 and have three kids and be a working mom, it’s a great moment to be asked to do this and to be able to do it. I think it says a lot about Lancome and what they stand for.”

Her first ad was shot for Lancome by photographer Mario Testino and will appear in magazines later this year.
