Elle est magnifique! Marion Cotillard is divine as she returns as Lady Dior for brand's new handbag campaign
|
When Marion Cotillard debuted as Lady Dior for the French fashion brand last year it seemed she was the perfect person to promote their lavish goods.
So much so the French actress has now returned to show off the latest campaign, promoting the new line of leather bags which she helped to create.
The Oscar-winning actress smoulders in the new campaign, which was released on Friday and was hot by photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

She wears a lavish dark dress for most of the images to make the handbags stand out thanks to their bright colours in oranges, purples and blues.
Against a green backdrop she pouts to perfection as she emphasises her lips even more thanks to the dark berry lipstick and smokey eyes.
Giving off an old Hollywood glamour feel the 37-year-old completes her look with an up 'do as she gently leans against a stand with one of the leather bags on it.

Showing off another lilac design, Marion changed into slinky black top tucked into a pencil skirt with her hair half up.
And in the final picture she bares some more flesh with a strapless top, seductively looking over her shoulder next to a blue bag.
The actress was invited to design her own bag for Dior after successfully becoming the face of their handbags last year.

A behind-the-scenes video released by Dior in December revealed exactly how the design process for the bag - named The 360 Degree Bag - is coming along.
Naturally, it's in French, but the subtitles tell us that Cotillard will be putting her own personal spin on the Lady Dior arm candy.
She explains in the three-minute video that she is 'torn between a rock and roll type or something extremely simple'.

She goes on to say that she would like to put a 'strong Dior symbol on it', and that she 'adores houndstooth', quilting, knots and a big letter 'O'.
The short documentary also shows Cotillard getting inspiration from trees, a number of catwalk shows and music.
A statement on Dior's website read: 'She has been the face of the Lady Dior bag since 2008, the epitome of a sophisticated and vibrant woman.

'It was, of course, completely natural that Marion Cotillard would go on to design her own bag, her personal Lady Dior, as modern as it is timeless.'
The 37-year-old is loyal to Christian's company by rarely being pictured wearing any other designer at red carpet events.
