Vernon François styled Lupita Nyong’o’s hair for Lancôme’s Tient Idole advertising campaign in 2016.  Lupita and Penélope Cruz were photographed by Mert Alas + Marcus Piggot.

“You can feel the energy and chemistry between Lupita Nyong’o and Penélope Cruz just by looking at this picture.  I really like the contrast delivered in this shot and Lupita’s texture is prominent – which is what I wanted to achieve.  Working with Lancôme is always great.” – Vernon François.
