Dior Beauty also took to their Instagram timeline where they shared a video of the South African-born star promoting the lux fragrance. 

In the video, Thuso revealed that wearing the lux fragrance makes her feel “bold and yet again a little bit fancy, sophisticated and mysterious.”

She also shared with the global brand that if she were a shade of Gris Dior, she would be “enigmatic with air of mystery and simple yet sophisticated.”
