Danielle, a prominent member of the acclaimed K-pop ensemble NewJeans, has made headlines as the featured star on W Korea Magazine’s digital cover for its April 2024 issue. Acclaimed photographer Peter Ash Lee masterfully captured Danielle’s radiant beauty in a stunning visual narrative.

Complemented by hair stylist Lee Hyejin and makeup artist Lee Nakyeum, the shoot showcased Danielle’s natural elegance, notably featuring pieces from Celine by Hedi Slimane, marking a pinnacle moment in her fashion evolution.
This cover feature arrives at a pivotal time, as Celine, the prestigious French luxury label, has named Danielle as its newest global ambassador, generating significant buzz across social media. The announcement on March 22 was coupled with an eye-catching image of Danielle, ushering in an exciting new chapter for both the artist and the luxury brand. The statement from Celine conveyed their enthusiasm: “Celine is thrilled to announce that Danielle of NewJeans will serve as the global ambassador for our brand.”
ADOR, the agency representing Danielle, joined in the celebrations, revealing that she has an exciting array of events and projects lined up in her esteemed new role.
