The campaign features a new short film in which Lady Gaga shares her perspective on community, inclusion, and identity, aligning with Sephora’s ongoing “We Belong to Something Beautiful” platform. The film is part of Sephora’s “Classes for Confidence” program, which encourages self-expression through beauty education and peer connection.
“At Sephora, we're driven by our Purpose to champion a world of inspiration and inclusion where everyone can celebrate their beauty. Lady Gaga’s personal story is a magnificent illustration of the values we promote every day and having her sharing her own feeling about what Sephora is all about is an incredible testimony for us,” said Deborah Yeh, Global Chief Marketing Officer of Sephora.
As part of the campaign, Sephora will donate $1 from every Haus Labs product sold between June 1 and June 30 to the Born This Way Foundation, co-founded by Lady Gaga and Cynthia Germanotta, to fund youth mental health initiatives. The donations will support the Kindness in Community Fund, which provides grants to grassroots organizations focused on youth well-being.
“Haus Labs is built on the belief that artistry and self-expression are tools of empowerment. This campaign is about showing up as you are and celebrating what makes each of us unique. We’re proud to partner with Sephora to support the next generation of changemakers,” said Angela Simpson, Chief Marketing Officer, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga.
“Born This Way Foundation has always been driven by the passion and leadership of young people, a vision my daughter, Lady Gaga, and I shared from the start. We’re honored to partner with Sephora and Haus Labs to reach even more young people with the message that they are seen, valued, and supported,” said Cynthia Germanotta, President and Co-founder of Born This Way Foundation.
Sephora and the foundation are also inviting public nominations for grassroots organizations serving LGBTQIA+ communities. Nominations can be submitted through the Born This Way Foundation website through June 30, and final grant recipients will be announced by December 2025.
