“Catherine Roberts is like a tall glass of water for a very thirsty generation of women. She’s as stunning now as ever - yet she seems to know something we couldn’t have known when we were young. She embodies it, and she celebrates it. She, and we, have more going on now than ever.”
Catherine Roberts was one of the most photographed beauty models of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Within weeks of being discovered by legendary modeling pioneer Wilhelmina Cooper, she booked the first of more than 50 national television commercials, launching an extraordinary career in luxury advertising for beauty and lifestyle brands.
Recognized for her timeless elegance and classic features, Catherine became the face of many of the world's leading beauty, and lifestyle brands. Her advertising campaigns for L'Oréal, Charles of the Ritz, Revlon, Max Factor, Coty, Clairol, Helena Rubinstein, Saks Fifth Avenue, Almay, Elizabeth Arden, and Avon, among many others, appeared in major magazines and publications throughout the United States and around the world.
Throughout her career, Catherine worked with many of the industry's most celebrated photographers, including Richard Avedon, Hiro, Bert Stern, James Moore, and Neal Barr—artists whose images helped define an era of fashion and beauty photography.
Today, Catherine continues to work in print, television, and commercial advertising, bringing the same professionalism, elegance, and camera presence that have defined her career from the very beginning. Her recent recognition with three Best Actress awards for her performance in the fashion short film PEARL reflects her continuing evolution as both a model and performer.
As today's brands increasingly celebrate authenticity, confidence, and beauty at every age, Catherine Roberts is still in the game.
More than four decades after first stepping in front of the camera, Catherine Roberts continues to inspire with a career defined not simply by longevity, but by reinvention, authenticity, and the enduring power of timeless beauty.
“There is beauty in our industry that never fades! Catherine is a legend, a face that shines brighter and more sure than ever. She inspires me with her simple classic approach to beauty... timeless, attainable and always elegant!”
