The actress tells PEOPLE that her partnership with U Beauty feels like "the right time, the right place, the right people"

Monaghan, who was introduced to Cunningham by her The White Lotus costar Leslie Bibb, said she “deferred” to the hair stylist’s expertise.

The “White Lotus” actress, 48, was just announced as the first-ever brand ambassador for U Beauty, a company Monaghan has been loyal to over the years. Though many partnership opportunities have come her way, the “Made of Honor” alum turned them down, making this her inaugural beauty campaign, she told People.
