Celebrities have been used to endorse luxury brands for years and we've seen them in just about every magazine we flip through. Whether it's for a new perfume by Chanel or a high-end bag by Louis Vuitton, the right celebrity can influence people to go out and buy the designer item for themselves.
Using some of today's most recognized celebrities for affluent luxury brands is a great tactic for these companies to market their items. These celebrities range from movie stars to singers and even pro-athletes, who are carefully chosen to promote a brands product. Over the years, we've seen many stars endorse our favorite luxury fashion brands and they've become some of the best spokespeople for them.
