Jennifer Coolidge Is the Beauty Queen We Deserve

Jennifer Coolidge? Starring in a Super Bowl ad? Don’t mind if we do. e.l.f. Cosmetics has tapped the White Lotus actor (and all-around comedic genius) to appear in its first-ever game day spot.

The prospect of catching the ad, written by none other than White Lotus creator Mike White, might convince me to tune in to Sunday’s game. e.l.f.’s 45-second teaser of the commercial is pure delight. In it, Coolidge puts the brand’s Power Grip Primer, one of TikTok’s favorite makeup products, to the test. After patting it over her foundation (“I put the primer on after my makeup, because I feel like it makes me look extra dewy,” she said in a recent interview), she exclaims: “Oh my gosh… looks like I came from the sea! I look like a dolphin — like a baby dolphin!”

She proceeds to mimic the chirping noises that the ocean-dwelling mammals emit, riffing on her recent assertion that she’d love to play a dolphin as her next role. The moment, prompted during an interview with Access Hollywood at the Golden Globes, quickly went viral.

Hopefully, el.f.’s ad is one of many beauty queen moments to come for Coolidge, who reportedly studied cosmetology in the ’80s. Might we catch the actor in a Covergirl campaign? Will YSL Beauty tap her as its next celebrity ambassador? I’m dreaming big here — after all, there’s nothing more beautiful than a great sense of humor.
