Camila embodies the L'Oréal Paris philosophy, "Because You're Worth It" demonstrating ambition, passion and a strong sense of self-worth by breaking out on her own with her first solo album, "Camila." Her No. 1 hit single, "Havana," topped Billboard's Pop Songs chart for seven weeks, marking the longest reign of a song by a solo female artist in nearly five years.
