2024 marks a successful year for Irish actor Cillian Murphy with incredible performances both on the big screen and in the fashion scene—most recently as the face of Versace Icons campaign
Versace recently appointed Cillian Murphy as a new brand ambassador. The decision was clearly on point, as the 47-year-old actor had just won an Oscar for his spellbinding performance in “Oppenheimer,” leading to much curiosity about how he would nail his charismatic appearance in a completely different playground. Following the announcement, Versace has released a new campaign starring Murphy as the face of Versace Icons.
Photographed by Mert & Marcus, the actor stands out in pieces from a freshly minted collection. Set against a white background, Murphy plays a different persona while embodying the Versace ethos in each contemporary styling work of Jacob K. Versace has also revealed an accompanying video that provides a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse of Murphy’s act and his experience campaigning for the heritage house.
“Collaborating with Donatella—from sharing image references to selecting the music of Fountains D.C. for the video—resulted in a campaign that reflects who I am,” shares Murphy on his debut.
