Amanda Seyfried has been a global ambassador for Lancôme since 2019, but that doesn't mean her French accent has improved.
The American actress herself admitted that she was still not up to speed with the pronunciation of the name of the Parisian brand and its beauty products.
She also made fun of her difficulties with the language of Molière in a video posted on the Lancôme TikTok account on Thursday January 25.
In this brilliant marketing campaign, she appears alongside her sisters Isabella Rossellini and Joy Sunday, also muses of the cosmetics brand, to lend themselves to the "Of course..." trend, very popular on the social network , which consists of stating with irony clichés related to its function.
“We are ambassadors for Lancôme, of course we will be asked if it is pronounced
Lane-côme
or
Lan-côme
,” she says.
Isabella Rossellini, who was the first face of the beauty brand in 1983 for fourteen years (until she returned as ambassador in 2016 at the age of 62), is well placed to talk about.
“Once and for all, it’s
Lan-côme
,
Lan-côme
,” she clarifies.

To which Isabella Rossellini adds by repeating the name of the range with an impeccable accent and mimicking annoyance with humor.
