IT'S more than a $64,000 question, but is Delta Goodrem the new Natalie Imbruglia as the latest face of beauty brand L'Oreal?
Sources close to the pop star have told Confidential the diva will be the next glamour girl to be "worth it", picking up where Imbruglia left off as an international spokeswoman for the cosmetics company.
Goodrem, currently jetting from London to Hong Kong and Tokyo on the promo trail for her Delta CD, is rumoured to be making her first appearance for L'Oreal at next month's Melbourne Fashion Festival, which is sponsored by the global group.
A spokeswoman for the Aussie singer was unaware of the L'Oreal deal yesterday and declined to comment when contacted by Confidential.
But insiders say Goodrem is keen to cash in on her sexy new look, which has been so well received by her fans and industry admirers alike.
"She's grown up, glammed up and now ready for her close up," the source said.
Any contract would be a lucrative one for the 22-year-old and will certainly have her looking her best for her pending nuptials with Irish crooner and former boy band member Brian McFadden, who popped the question last year.
It helped cement Imbruglia's place on the celebrity stage overseas, before the 32-year-old was dumped from the star line-up which includes Beyonce Knowles, Eva Longoria, Kate Winslet and Scarlett Johannson.
The Torn singer, who pocketed $200,000 when she signed on in 2002, quipped "apparently I'm not worth it any more", when she was axed in July last year.
