This announcement comes as a little surprise as Ala’a had already won the hearts of many across the world with her striking resemblance to the favorite “Bad Gal”.

In a video she shared on Instagram while singing, Ala’a shared her excitement with the caption: “I can’t wait to use my Tropical Moringa,” while holding two products from the Tropical Moringa Sweet Oil & Honey Endless Moisture Collection.

“One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time,” the caption read. “Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them!”

Already, supermodel Tyra Banks, through her newest project, Modelland, has extended an invitation to Ala’a to be part of the project.

Meanwhile, Banks is still “looking for 14 people from the age of 18 to 50, 60 something.”
