Mila Kunis embodies old Hollywood glamour in return as the face of Miss Dior


Mila Kunis embodies old Hollywood glamour in return as the face of Miss Dior


It's been decades since Hollywood's Golden Age, but Mila Kunis, as one of this generation's most in-demand stars, epitomises that old-school glamour in a new campaign for Christian Dior. 
The Black Swan actress, whose first ad for the luxury fashion label debuted in January, smoulders in her return as the face of brand's ready-to-wear accessories.

According to WWD.com, creatives at the label aimed to depict Kunis as 'the kind of woman accustomed to attention from throngs of paparazzi' for the Autumn 2012 handbag campaign.
Indeed, it's not a stretch for the star, who appeared at Dior's Paris fashion show in March, seeming to take pride in her role wearing a soft nude palette in a chic lace dress.

    There, Mila opened up about her new role as an ambassador for the esteemed fashion house, and her own personal style - describing herself as a 'jeans and T-shirt' kind of girl.
    She told WWD: 'I'm honestly just learning about fashion... In my daily life, I don’t wear the most feminine pieces. But I love to feel feminine when I’m on the red carpet.'

    Fans of the star might also expect to see her wearing much more of the label at premieres and during the coming awards season.
    'I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house,' she continued. 'I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful.'
    And the feeling appears to be mutual. Executives at Dior are besotted with the rising star.
    Delphine Arnault, deputy general manager at Dior, told WWD: 'Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress... Her performance in Black Swan was remarkable. She is very gifted.'
    Mila's appointment as the face of Dior follows that of Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman. The stunning actress, dressed in black, was photographed posing with the Spring 2012 Miss Dior handbag.

    The images will also be unveiled in tandem with a short film on the Miss Dior website next week.
    Meanwhile, the actress has a busy production schedule ahead. 
    She is currently starring in big screen comedy Ted, which sees her alongside Mark Wahlberg in Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut.
    Set for release later this year is her poetic drama Tar, which takes a look at author C.K. Williams' life over the course of 40 years.
    On the red carpet: Mila has previously described herself as a 'jeans and T-shirt' type of girl - appearing on Thursday in a casual ensemble at Comic-Con in San Diego
