Diana Penty is replacing Deepika Padukone as the new face of international cosmetics brand Maybelline New York. With this, she joins the ranks of international supermodels like Adriana Lima and Christy Turlington. "I feel great to get this break to endorse a brand that is so lively and truly multi-ethnic. For me it is not only about whom I am replacing but it's about being on the same platform as international models and get international publicity," Penty said in a declaration.

Currently Penty is a student of the Elite Model Management, where Sushma Puri is the CEO. “Diana has a face that is very versatile and appeals to both Indian and international markets and she is also young, beautiful and confident. This makes her the ideal choice for any international brand,” Puri said.

Deepika Padukone was named the brand ambassador of Maybelline in June 2007.

Diana has more to cheer. Director Imtiaz Ali has signed up Diana Penty for the next project and she will be romancing Ranbir Kappor in it.

The film has been in the news ever since Imtiaz approached Katrina Kaif for the female lead role and she refused. Imtiaz then almost signed Anushka Sharma, but then decided a new face would work better. The fact that Diana had starred in an advertisement with Ranbir worked in her favor. Imtiaz was searching for a suitable actress for the new project- new face or old. He was considering Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma for the same role, however dropped the idea.

Lucky Diana, Imtiaz has signed up Diana for the movie named "Rockstar" against the 'Wake Up Sid' actor.

Diana is a popular model in Mumbai and has also worked with Ranbir in a Virgin Mobile commercial. As the name implies "Rockstar" is all about pop music and the love between musicians. According to a source, Imtiaz was looking out for a girl with a mod, grungy look and Diana fitted the bill.
