Lachlan Bailey is the photographer and director behind the campaign images called “Where It Begins.” In the pictures, Lupita Nyong’o is shown posing with pieces from the Enchanted Lotus series that De Beers designed. She is captured wearing a dark blue ensemble with a sheer cape for the striking portraits.
I’m honored to be the first Global Ambassador for De Beers. This campaign brings to life the transformative power that I feel when I wear De Beers’ diamond creations, and the pride in knowing where they come from and the good they do. Even more importantly, my partnership with De Beers allows me to extend my advocacy for women and girls around the world.
