“Dior is delighted to welcome Josh O’Connor as the new ambassador for Jonathan Anderson’s collections,” the Paris-based house said in a release.
The actor had previously been a presence at several runway shows of J.W. Anderson, who was appointed overall creative director of Dior in June 2025.
O’Connor first grabbed attention and international fame with his performance as Prince Charles in hit series The Crown- for which he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor .
Subsequently, he has garnered critical acclaim in a variety of films, including Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, in which he wore clothes designed by Anderson in this studied melodrama about competing players and emotions in tennis.
O’Connor has also worked with Guadagnino in an ad campaign for Aston Martin, shooting an elegiac road movie short in sun-dried Sicily.
“Josh O’Connor embodies a singular, sensitive, and undeniably modern expression of masculine elegance, perfectly in sync with the contemporary Dior style,” added Dior about the Cheltenham, England-raised thespian.
