Who is the actress in the Venus ad?
Uncovering the face behind the commercial
(By Carmichael Phillip)
The identity of the woman featured in a recent Gillette Venus advertisement has sparked curiosity across social media. Is she a well-known celebrity or a model? Let’s explore the most credible insights.
Who stars in the Venus ad?
Gillette Venus launched the My Skin My Way campaign to celebrate diverse skin types. One notable female featured was Bianca Schönhofer, an activist and model with vitiligo. She became the first woman with this skin condition to represent Venus in a global ad released in 2018. The campaign was designed to uplift diverse beauty standards and featured beachside scenes with her confidently shaving her legs.
However, in more recent ads—especially those launched in the 2020s—it’s unclear that Bianca remained the campaign face. None of the latest high-profile Venus campaigns (e.g. “Ooh without the Ouch”) have identified a single leading actress globally.
Alternative reported names: rumour vs fact
Some fan sites have claimed the actress is Juliana Herz, purportedly a Brazilian model. But these seem speculative and lack official confirmation—no reputable publication or Gillette press release supports this claim.
Other public speculation pointed to Emma Watson or Emily Ratajkowski, but these also come from unverified sources with no confirmed endorsement or announcement by Gillette Venus.
Historical campaigns and Jennifer Lopez
An older Venus commercial featured Jennifer Lopez performing multiple roles—from performer to mom—while the Venus jingle is sung in her voice, positioning her as the brand ambassador of an earlier era of Venus advertising. That was more of a concept piece rather than a clean-shaving demonstration, and it aired several years ago—not part of current campaigns.
Upcoming brand ambassadors and regional variations
In India, Gillette Venus has featured Ananya Panday in 2023 for the “Ooh without the Ouch” shortened campaign—this included a commercial shot poolside busting a myth about waxing versus shaving.
Other campaigns have highlighted female athletes such as tennis stars Taylor Townsend, Alycia Parks, and Peyton Stearns, associating them with product endorsements—but these visuals may not depict a character “shaving” in a sensually styled commercial the way classic Venus ads do.
🎥 Video Highlight
This video appears to be a Venus campaign featuring Lotte Wubben Moy, a known model associated with the brand. While not widely covered in major press articles, the existence of a properly attributed YouTube ad suggests she may be one actual face of the campaign—not merely speculation.

📝 Final Take
If you’re referring to the 2018 “My Skin My Way” Venus ad featuring shaving scenes, the woman is Bianca Schönhofer—celebrated for being the first model with vitiligo in a Venus commercial.
More recent Venus ads have showcased various regional ambassadors and models, including Ananya Panday in India and Lotte Wubben Moy seen in branded YouTube content—but there does not appear to be a single globally recognizable actress like a Hollywood star.
At present, there is no official confirmation that actresses such as Emma Watson or Juliana Herz played starring roles in current Venus shaving ads. Unless Venus or P&G publishes specific casting details, much of the identity speculation remains unverified.
