Nana Komatsu Appointment Details

Chanel Beauty confirmed Nana Komatsu as global ambassador on November 28, 2025, with her first campaign launching February 2026. This replaces former beauty ambassador Léa Seydoux, who held the role from 2018 to 2025. The appointment follows Chanel’s 2025 decision to increase Asian beauty market investment by 18% ($240 million budget for 2026), according to their Q4 financial filing. Komatsu’s 2025 roles include her appearance in ‘Shinjuku Scandal’ and her 2024 L’Oréal campaign, which drew 1.2 million social media engagements. Chanel’s 2025 press release specified she would appear ‘in all global channels including digital, print, and store displays’ for the 2026 campaign.

Nana Komatsu embodies the fearless elegance and modernity we associate with Chanel Beauty.
