Harris Dickinson stars in Rhode Glazing Mist campaign as brand's first male ambassador

Actor Harris Dickinson has been named the first male ambassador for Hailey Bieber's skincare brand, Rhode, starring in the campaign for its newest product: Glazing Mist. The announcement was made Monday alongside a striking black-and-white visual rollout, which shows Dickinson applying the mist — described by Rhode as a 'superfine spray that hydrates and refreshes for a next-level glowy finish.' Dickinson, known for roles in Beach Rats (2017), The King's Man (2021), and Triangle of Sadness (2022), most recently appeared opposite Nicole Kidman in Babygirl. His inclusion in the Glazing Mist campaign aligns with Rhode's latest launch, while also highlighting his rising presence in both film and fashion, having worked with luxury brands like Loewe and Dior. Social media reactions to the campaign have been swift, with fans drawing playful comparisons between Dickinson's viral milk-drinking scene in Babygirl and the mist's dewy aesthetic. Glazing Mist launches June 24 for $30 exclusively on Formulated with key ingredients such as ectoin (a moisture binder), a ceramide trio, beta-glucan, panthenol (vitamin B5), and magnolia extract, the product aims to hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin barrier. It is vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, and has received the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance. Rhode's decision to feature Dickinson reflects a broader shift toward gender-inclusive beauty marketing. Traditionally centered on Bieber and female-identifying influencers, the brand is now expanding its reach. Since its 2022 launch, Rhode has gained attention for its limited product drops, sleek packaging, and social-media-driven campaigns. That growth culminated in e.l.f. Beauty's recent $1 billion acquisition of the brand, with Bieber remaining as chief creative officer.

Hailey Bieber taps Harris Dickinson for newest Rhode campaign, and fans can't get enough of it

Hailey Bieber's billion-dollar beauty brand Rhode, just made a very interesting marketing move. In a surprise twist that no one saw coming but now feels inevitable, actor Harris Dickinson was recently cast in the brand campaign for the brand's latest hydration mist. Internet heartthrob and breakout star of the sultry indie hit Babygirl, Dickinson is known for his magnetic screen presence and quiet intensity and as the acclaimed actor steps into the world of skincare, Bieber opens up about why she chose him. A post shared by rhode skin (@rhode) "I watched [Babygirl] and I thought it was so great. I knew for this campaign that I really, really wanted to use a male face. I'm just really a fan of his work, and I just felt like there could be really good synergy between him and Rhode. I think that was definitely showcased in this campaign,' said Bieber in an interview. 'I didn't want anything to feel too on the nose with Babygirl. I never want to make anything feel gimmicky, and the undertone of it all is there. I wanted it to feel chic and sporty,' she added. As soon as the campaign dropped, the internet lit up with reactions that were downright thirsty. 'He was so good in Babygirl so I'm not mad at this,' wrote one user, echoing the sentiment of many. Another chimed in, 'He's hot… the end lmao.' Over on X , it was chaos in the best way: 'This girl really knows how to lure the market.' One more said, 'Hailey, this was a power move.' Clearly, Rhode's decision to lean into Dickinson's rising sex appeal without turning it into a spectacle hit the sweet spot. Dickinson's star power has been steadily rising since his breakout in Beach Rats (2017), followed by bigger roles in The King's Man and the Palme d'Or-winning Triangle of Sadness. With Babygirl bringing him even more critical acclaim — and placing him alongside Nicole Kidman — he's now gaining fashion clout, too, having worked with the likes of Loewe and Dior.
