If you think Angelina Jolie's talents seem to never end, you wouldn't be far off. The star's next venture will be representing an iconic beauty brand – Can you guess which?
It was announced yesterday that Jolie will be the new face of Guerlain Parfumeur's latest scent, Mon Guerlain. The deal was reportedly signed back in December 2015 while Jolie was filming First They Killed My Father in Cambodia.
This will be the actress, director and humanitarian's first major public role since the news of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's separation broke back in September 2016. The couple were together for over a decade, tying the knot in August 2014, and have six children together: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox and Vivienne.
So far, we know very few details about the upcoming scent, but there are a couple of things we can tell you. The perfume house's master perfumer, Thierry Wasser, describes the fragrance as having 'notes of a woman,' and says that he was inspired by modern femininity, according to The Telegraph. The actress reportedly has fond childhood memories of seeing her mother using Guerlain powder, so her choice to work with the brand totally makes sense when you think about it.

It's worth noting that this will be Jolie's first role as an ambassador for a beauty brand for 10 years – her last being for Shiseido all the way back in 2007. Fans of Jolie will not be surprised to learn that she has donated all of her earnings from the job to charity, although it has not been confirmed which.
