Yara Shahidi has been named as the face of Jean Paul Gautier’s upcoming fragrance Gaultier Divine.

The star of Black-ish and its spin-off series Grown-ish will front the new EDP created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, WWD reported.

Described as having a floral marine scent, the Puig-owned brand's perfume will launch in August 2023.

The new collaboration comes after Shahidi was spotted wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture at the 2023 Met Gala in May.

Last year Shahidi also joined Natalie Portman to front an advert promoting the Dior’s Rouge Dior Forever lipstick campaign.

Filmed by Belgian director Arnaud Uyttenhove, the campaign saw Portman and Shahidi walking through a desert wearing flowing red dresses and holding the newly launched product.

“For this new Rouge Dior Forever campaign, we are proud to welcome the charismatic @YaraShahidi as a new ambassador,” Dior said in an Instagram post at the time.

“A rising star of American cinema who embodies the values of the Dior woman with her strong sense of commitment and beautiful mind.”

Shahidi joined Dior as its brand ambassador in 2021, and would go on to feature in the brand’s Stand with Women campaign that same year.

Her film career began when she was just six years old, appearing in television commercials and print ads for McDonald's, Ralph Lauren and Target.

She would then make it to the big screen in 2009 after featuring alongside Eddie Murphy in the film Imagine That.

In 2023, Shahidi played Tinkerbell in David Lowery's Disney live remake, Peter Pan & Wendy.
