Cillian Murphy is the new face of Versace Icons

Versace has unveiled Irish actor Cillian Murphy as the debut men’s talent of its Versace Icons offer. The dedicated campaign will be Murphy’s first-ever for the fashion house and sees the Academy Award winning actor wearing “key and timeless pieces” from the men’s Versace Icons collection.

Clearly with the ambassadorship in the offing, he’s been wearing Versace designs during the 2024 Awards Season, including a custom Atelier Versace tailored suit to accept his Oscar for Best Actor at the recent Academy Awards.

The new Versace Icons campaign starring Murphy launches globally on 3 April.

The 47-year-old is hugely popular having won his Oscar for his appearance in Oppenheimer but having previously made a major impact in TV series Peaky Blinders, as well as in Dunkirk and several Batman movies, among many other credits.

Versace has a fondness for entertainers as its ambassadors.

Late last year, it also named Rosy Zhao as its new global brand ambassador. The Chinese actress, TV hostess and singer’s appointment continues the brand’s vision to boost the brand in China. 

She’s known for playing a variety of leading roles, including TV drama Hidden Love, one of Netflix’s most popular series of 2023 that boosted her popularity internationally.
