Nidhi Sunil made headlines earlier this week as the newest global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris. This lawyer-turned-model in her 30s from Kerala is a familiar face for her campaigns and fashion magazine covers. But it is her work to promote diversity and as spokesperson for The Invisible Girl Project, a non profit that tackles gendercide in India, that makes her a great voice on this platform. “Beauty really is about perspective,” Sunil, who has spoken out against colourism, told New York-based Paper magazine last year. “I grew up in a country where I constantly felt ugly, and then when I moved to America, every time I walk into a room people would look at me with these big googly eyes, like I'm this crazy, weird beautiful alien that walked into a room, so it is literally just a mindset.” As the first Indian ambassador at L’Oréal who is not a Bollywood actor, she is all set to drive the narrative for women. More power to her.
