Her final outfit was the Wonder Woman outfit she was to wear in the still-shelved film Justice League of America.[6][7] August 2011 marked Megan's 10th anniversary with the department store and is the longest held fashion contract in Australia. August 2011 also marked another significant occasion for the model and television presenter as she was officially announced as an ambassador for L'Oreal Paris, joining the likes of Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani as a member of L'Oreal Paris' exclusive "Dream Team". Megan signed on as the face of the iconic global beauty brand for Australia and New Zealand and her first campaign for Elvive Total Repair 5 shampoo was launched nationally, however the slick commercial soon caught the interest of Italy, where it also eventually aired.[citation needed] Gale in 2011.
