That's quite a bag lady.... Marion Cotillard smoulders in her latest Christian Dior campaign for Lady Dior
|
She was unveiled as the latest in a long and rich line of celebrities to model for Christian Dior way back in 2008.
Five years have passed since her first advertising campaign for the Lady Dior handbag range but Marion Cottilard still exudes the same poise and elegance in her latest, courtesy of two newly released shots.
The French actress participates in a new campaign by photographer Tim Walker, who captured the actress showcasing two new bags from the Lady Dior range.
Striking: Actress Marion Cotillard poses in one of two shots in the new campaign for Lady Dior from Christian Dior
In the first, Marion wears a cobalt blue shift from the French fashion house’s Resort 2014 collection by designer Raf Simons as she stands in front of a white wall smeared with matching blue paint.
With her hair slicked back across her head and a blood red slash of lipstick providing an additional splash of colour, Marion looks stunning as she stands with her hands placed firmly on her hips, a blue and green paint box bag hanging from her right wrist.
In the second shot canary yellow dominates, with Marion seated on a paint splattered table, her hair neatly parted and pushed to the side while she offers Walker a smouldering look, a yellow and amber Dior bag by her side.

The striking new shots will be printed in the Japanese edition of Vogue on October 28 before being given their US launch in Vanity Fair two days later.
Marion – a self-confessed advocate of the French brand – was the first person to wear a garment from the new resort collection when she attended the Cannes Film Festival in one of Raf Simon’s creations, a 60’s inspired dress.
Taking more than eight hours to manufacture the Lady Dior handbag consists of 100 different components, with its distinctive pattern said to be inspired by Napoleon II couture chairs used during the very first Christian Dior show in 1947.

The brand has previously opened up about their love for Cotillard in a statement published last year.
‘She has been the face of the Lady Dior bag since 2008, the epitome of an sophisticated and vibrant woman,’ it read.’
On Monday the Oscar-winner shone in an off-the-shoulder gown when she attended the Elle 20th Annual Women in Hollywood event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.
