69-year-old Maye Musk has been named the newest face of cosmetics giant Covergirl, in what’s been described as a win for diversity in the beauty industry.

The mother of billionaire Tesla founder, Elon Musk, will join current ambassadors for the manufacturer including Sofia Vergara and Katy Perry.

“I'm so excited to say that I'm now officially a COVERGIRL! My three kids, ten grandchildren and I have had the hardest time trying to keep it a secret until today's big announcement,” Musk said.

“Who knew, after many years of admiring the gorgeous COVERGIRL models, that I would be one at 69 years of age? It just shows, never give up. Thank you COVERGIRL, for including me in your tribe of diversity. Beauty truly is for women of all ages, and I can’t wait to take you all along this amazing journey with me!”
