Nia Long is shining bright like a diamond

Actress Nia Long is officially the brand ambassador for White Diamonds Fragrance.  She made the announcement on her Instagram account. White Diamonds Fragrance was created by fellow actress the late Elizabeth Taylor. Long is also making history as the first African American to become a spokesperson for the signature fragrance.

The 43 year old beauty knows what it means to staying fresh and fruity as she puts her touch on the legendary perfume and she is riding high off her two movies Tyler Perry’s The Single Moms Club and The Best Man Holiday.

She made a statement about her brand new venture:

“This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this, and to be connected and affiliated with a brand that has a legacy of success and of so many important contributions to our country is an honour.“

“Elizabeth Taylor said White Diamonds was her ‘Diamonds In A Bottle,’ and that’s what Lustre really is to me – Lustre just adds that extra sparkle…I personally love the juicy pear and raspberry notes in Lustre – it gives it a fresh, fruity feminine touch.“

The perfume you could buy exclusively at Macy’s now and also online. Sales from the fragrance will go to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in support of the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Currently, she is prepping for her new series, The Divide that would air on WE TV on July 16, 2014.
