Messika Names Julianne Moore as Ambassador
The award-winning actress is the “epitome of modern allure,” the brand said.
American actress Julianne Moore, known for her award-winning roles in films including “Still Alice” and “Game Change,” will star in Messika’s 2026 campaigns.
Paris—Messika has named actress Julianne Moore as its new brand ambassador.
Moore will represent Messika across upcoming campaigns and key international moments, the brand said, embodying “a vision of femininity that is bold, free, and always in motion.”
The Parisian high jewelry brand has a long-standing connection with the actress.
In the 2018 film “Gloria Bell,” directed by Sebastián Lelio, Moore wore the “Move” necklace, which features its signature motif.
She also recently attended the opening of the brand’s new Madison Avenue boutique in New York City in October.
Her presence captured the essence of Messika, illustrating modern glamour, quiet confidence, and an elegance that carries unmistakable strength, the brand said.
“Julianne is the very epitome of modern allure: powerful, intelligent, and deeply luminous,” said Valérie Messika, the founder and artistic director of Messika.
“She has that rare presence that is both timeless and strikingly contemporary. From the moment we first met, the connection was immediate. Julianne speaks in emotion and light. As do our diamonds.”
With this partnership, Messika said it continues to celebrate “women shaping culture with authenticity and audacity; women who move the world and wear their diamonds freely.”
The first Messika campaign visuals featuring Moore will be released in April.
