BULGARI‘S GEM: Monica Barbaro has been named Bulgari’s ambassador for North America.
The Rome-based house has tapped the actress to represent the brand for the jewelry and watch categories in the region.
After breaking records with her recent performance as Phoenix in the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” together with Tom Cruise and Miles Teller, Barbaro will star in the much anticipated James Mangold upcoming Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,” set to be released in 2025. She will play the role of Joan Baez opposite Timothée Chalamet as Dylan.
The actress is shooting the second season of Netflix’s series “Fubar,” which in its first season became one of the most watched original series upon its release in 2023.
“I am honored to join the Bulgari family, representing a brand I have long admired for its craftsmanship and passion for creativity. I have watched Bulgari evolve over time while remaining true to its heritage, and I am excited to be a part of this incredible story,” said Barbaro in a statement.
As an ambassador Barbaro will not only represent the brand on the red carpet but she will also play a role in brand initiatives and launches throughout the year.
