'It's Miss, actually': Natalie Portman stuns as an elegant and carefree runaway bride in new short film for Dior's iconic fragrance
She's long been thought of as one of Hollywood's ultimate modern beauties.
And Natalie Portman certainly proves her worth as both an actress and a beautiful on-screen siren in the new short film to advertise the iconic Miss Dior fragrance.
The 33-year-old Oscar-winning star looks breathtaking in the clip, which sees her portray a young woman about to tie the knot.

On-screen beauty: Natalie Portman truly wows in the brand new Miss Dior advert, as she portrays a bride who is stuck between the notion of becoming a 'Madame' and running away to freedom
However, throughout the short visual spectacle of an advert, she seems to be battling with the idea of marrying her mystery man.
The clip flips between black and white scenes showing her wearing her stunning hand-crafted wedding gown and walking down the aisle on the arm of her father, and colour shots of her gleefully escaping the nuptials.
As she holds aloft the beautiful strapless gown - covered in pretty floral embellishments with a leg-flashing hemline - before the ceremony, black and white Natalie looks a true classic beauty with her hair delicately styled in a half-up, half-down 'do.
But her unhappiness betrays her as she tells a hotel bel
l boy who calls her 'Madame' when delivering her flowers that 'it's Miss, actually'.

Clearly wanting to remain a single young woman, the short film shows her sadly walking down the aisle to become a wife, juxtaposing against the carefree Natalie who is later seen running through a field and stripping out of her white dress and into a chic LBD.
The single and free young woman is then seen overlooking a cliff and far out to sea, before being picked up - symbolic confetti petals flying around her - by a helicopter emblazoned with the legend CD, for the label's founder Christian Dior.
She's seated next to a handsome man who kisses her passionately, as the scene reverts back to the black and white tale.
Failing to take her vows, the bride-to-be looks downcast as she apologises to her father for running out on her big day.

Freedom: Towards the end, she gets her wish as she makes a dash from her nuptials and hops into a helicopter with her mystery lover
Back to colour, a sultry and notably pleased Natalie overlooks the gorgeous sun-kissed city of Paris as she gets her wish to remain a Miss.
The Black Swan star has been a brand ambassador for French designer label Dior since 2010, and has appeared in several campaigns since then.
And the new clip, directed by lauded film-maker and photographer Anton Corbijn, is possibly her most glamorous yet.
Set against the backdrop of Janis Joplin's Piece Of My Heart, the advert - called 'It's Miss, Actually' - invokes the spirit of a carefree young woman who has glamour and freedom in her sights.
The dress the actress wears in the commercial was hand-crafted by Parisian master tailors and, according to People, took over 600 hours to create.
Commenting on the feminist-friendly video, director Corbijn - whose other works include movies The American and A Most Wanted Man - said: 'It's interesting to see that these women are kind of worshipped by men, projecting what men want to see, and yet they say they are feminists.
'For me it's still coming from a man's perspective. The great thing about Janis Joplin, for instance, is that the female perspective prevails.'
'It took a long time to find the music and this choice seemed to fit perfectly from all angles, including the song's meaning,' he added, speaking of his bold choice of backing track.
'The more I look at the Miss Dior film, the more I know we got the best track possible.'
Feminism: The video is awash with feminist-friendly overtones, and the backing track is Janis Joplin's beloved anthem Piece Of My Heart
