When Emilia Clarke was unveiled as Dolce & Gabbana's latest fragrance campaign star last week she joined a growing list of stars who have landed beauty contracts since the beginning of the year. Here is a recap of the hottest beauty ambassadors brought to us by 2017 so far.

Emilia Clarke

Earlier this month, fashion heavyweight Dolce & Gabbana named "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke as the face of its fragrance 'The One'. Clarke's campaign won't be unveiled until this September, but the actress recently took to Instagram to share a few behind-the-scenes snaps from the shoot -- which appears to have a Neapolitan theme.

Nicole Kidman

Neutrogena scored serious celebrity points when it revealed that it had recruited Hollywood royalty Nicole Kidman to act as its latest Global Brand Ambassador back in February. So far, Kidman has used the role to promote the brand's 'Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream,' as well as to raise awareness about the importance of sun protection.
