Modeling for Scandal Absolu
The label released a series of campaign images, featuring the 27-year-old model alongside Dutch model Parker Van Noord.
Debut with Jean Paul Gaultier
While Hammam made her catwalk debut back in 2013 walking for Jean Paul Gaultier, she was only recruited to star in the brand’s campaign in 2021 for the launch of the So Scandal perfume range.
Stunning Appearance
Meanwhile, Hammam recently made a head-turning appearance at the launch party for a new lipstick collection by Estee Lauder and Sabyasachi Mukherjee, wearing a mini straight-cut floral dress in a palette of green, white, and black. She accessorized with black tights and black heels. Her glossy locks were styled in a half-up, half-down hairdo. Embracing a bold makeup choice, Hammam opted for a dramatic glam look featuring sharp black eyeliner.
Exciting Collaboration
Taking to Instagram to share her excitement, Hammam called it a “dream collaboration” and thanked Estee Lauder and Mukherjee for the partnership. The new matte-hued lipsticks, with shades named Calcutta Red and Rouge Bengal, draw inspiration from the vibrant palette of colors found in India. Each lipstick is encased in packaging adorned with the signature Sabyasachi Tiger medallion, crafted from 24-karat gold.
Global Ambassador for Estee Lauder
Hammam was announced as the global ambassador for the US cosmetics giant in May 2023. “It’s truly an honor and a dream to join the Estee Lauder family. I’m so excited to show you all the incredible things we have in store,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Empowering Women
Hammam previously spoke about what the appointment means to her. “This is the most amazing opportunity to represent and empower girls around the world. As a Moroccan-Egyptian woman, I am incredibly honored to take on this role with such a long-standing brand that promotes diversity and women’s empowerment in the beauty space,” she said.
Industry Success
Hammam is one of the most in-demand models in the industry. She has appeared on the runway for major fashion houses including Burberry, Fendi, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Balenciaga, and Carolina Herrera. She has also starred in international campaigns for brands including DKNY, Celine, Chanel, Versace, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, and Tiffany & Co.
