Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Lily Cole for Rimmel - confirmed!

Just like the forthcoming Agent Provocateur campaign, we have also been glued to the rumours concerning who would be replacing joining Kate Moss in the next round of Rimmel autumn ads. Well it looks like our suspicions were correct...
Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Lily Cole have been confirmed as the latest duo to climb on board the cosmetics brandwagon. But fear not loyal Kate fans, the supermodel hasn't been dropped by Rimmel, she was actually spotted last week shooting new ads in West London.

"We are delighted to be bringing Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Lily Cole on board at Rimmel," said Stephen Mormoris, a senior vice president of Rimmel's parent company, Coty Beauty. "We believe our consumers will identify with both new signings and this, combined with the iconic qualities of Kate Moss, who has more than proven herself as the face of Rimmel, will see the brand create even more standout this autumn with their new campaigns."
We recently mentioned that new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, was forced to pass on starring in the campaign due to her commitments with Avon. She is the face of the brand's new fragrance, Bond Girl 007.

Meanwhile, Ellis-Bextor was also recently snapped shooting her new ads for the beauty campaign wearing a yellow mini dress, black trench coat, red Mary Jane heels, and a Carrie Bradshaw-esque black belt (above, right). The campaign pics were taken in Notting Hill, while the singer rode a red double decker. I suppose that pretty much sums up Rimmel's slogan 'get the London look,' wouldn't you say?

Gemma Arterton & Sophie Ellis Bextor

We are hearing a lot of buzz coming from the Rimmel camp this morning. I guess it has been a little while since the last 'who is going to replace Kate Moss?' rumour. This time, it's Sophie Ellis Bextor who is reportedly taking over the reins from the Brit model, after signing a multi-million pound contract with the cosmetics company for three years.
According to reports, Bextor will shoot two campaigns per year, with her first ad already filmed and under her belt.

"Not only is Sophie beautiful but she has the cool look Rimmel is looking for. She is hip but is also a mum so she will sell to a range of ages," a source said.
Although Coty Beauty, which owns Rimmel, has confirmed that Moss will stay on as global ambassador, they admitted that they are scouting for new faces.
"Coty is considering other models to work alongside Kate to reach new markets in Asia, South America and the Middle East," said senior vice-president Stephen Mormoris.

Meanwhile, Bond girl Gemma Arterton has revealed that she had to pull out of starring in the Rimmel campaign as it conflicted with her contract with Avon.
"Gemma was ready to go with Rimmel, but the deal crashed at the last minute," a source told the Daily Mail. "She wanted to make a big name for herself outside of the acting world and loved the idea of being the next Kate Moss."

It now appears as though Rimmel could be going back to their original choice of Alexa Chung.
