Korean-born DJ Peggy Gou joins fellow global ambassador Gigi Hadid as the latest member of the Maybelline New York family. “Maybelline has always been a brand that celebrates individuality and creativity,” Gou says in a statement, “values that resonate deeply with me.”
Perhaps best known for her winged eyeliner, Gou adds this beauty cred to her list of music and fashion accomplishments. When he talked about how he balances his work in these two (now three) industries with the guardiansaid he's grown a thicker skin against criticism: “They can talk about my mix, they can talk about my music, I just thought it was funny that they were talking about 'Instagram and luxury car campaigns'” .
The Berlin producer said as much recently as well Vogue that despite being a female DJ in a male-dominated field, she's at a point in her career where she feels “free to be as individual as I want to be with my music or my style.”
The Maybelline news comes during Gou's already busy summer, perhaps one of the most visible yet. He made the rounds of the red carpet and photo shoot in Cannes, posed with F1 racers in Monaco and stopped by Primavera Sound in Barcelona to join Vilano Antillano on stage, all before the launch from his debut album on June 7. i hear you. Lead single “(It Goes Like) Nanana” went viral on TikTok when it was released last year, and has since dropped “1+1=11” and “Lobster Telephone.”
