Earlier today we saw a few gorgeous photos of newly pregs Natalie Portman showing off her burgeoning baby bump on the red carpet at the No Strings Attached movie premiere here in LA last night and right now we get to see a new promo ad campaign photo that introduces Natalie as the new face of Miss Dior Chérie.
Making a dramatic entrance from behind a transparent screen with roses, Natalie Portman was presented as Dior’s new face to 120 journalists from more than eight countries at Chelsea Piers’ Pier 59 Wednesday. Portman’s first assignment: being the face for Miss Dior Cherie, one of the brand’s iconic fragrances. A series of print ads shot by Tim Walker and a TV campaign by Sofia Coppola both break in March. Of her co-star in the TV ads, 29-year-old Portman cracked: “I felt like a big old cougar. He’s, like, 20.” The TV ad also features a shot of a white swan — “It’s subliminal advertising for my film,” quipped Portman, referring to her latest role in “Black Swan.” Parfums Christian Dior chief Claude Martinez called Portman “charismatic and elegant,” and noted this is the first time the actress has collaborated with a luxury beauty company. But Portman told a tale on herself: when she’s not working, she prefers to be au naturel. “I’m pretty casual in my beauty routine in my real life,” she said. “Some might say sloppy.”
Beautiful, Gorgeous, Exquisite … I LOVE this photo so much! Natalie Portman is the perfect model for this perfume, just perfect. The TV ads directed by Sofia Coppola sound really pretty and I can’t wait to see them. I mean, can life get any better for Natalie these days? When it rains, it pours … and I am so happy that all of this good fortune is pouring on the fabulous Natalie Portman. The next thing you know, she’s gonna win an Academy Award or something … oh wait …
Do you love this ad or what?

I’m not a big fan of Miss Dior Chérie, but every time I see their ads/commercials I try all over again because they’re always sooooo pretty and fun! She looks pretty amazing in this picture!
I love this ad! I’m about to go buy a black bow headband and a bottle of this perfume right now ;-)
I love this perfume! Every time I go in Sephora, I spritz some on myself because I’m too poor to buy it haha. I love Natalie Portman too, she’s purty!
Ahhhhh!! She is so pretty, I could just STARE at her. She reminds me of Audrey, she has that classic look.
Her face is sooooo beautiful! It is amazing to me how much she looks the same on the red carpet, in movies, and in everyday life. There are some stars that look 100% completely different on the street from how they do in print. Natalie is gorgeous 24/7!
I have never smelled the fragrance. However, I *loved* this ad campaign when I first saw it a couple of years ago (2008 maybe?), so I hope Sofia Coppola doesn’t change it too much. I secretly always wanted to be a rich and somewhat impish little French girl, surrounded by presents, puppies, and pastries. I also kinda want to be Natalie Portman…
Oops. Just googled and realized that Sofia Coppola did the most recent holiday commercials. She did a very good job of capturing the mood–sorry for doubting you, Sofia!
The commercial I was thinking of was from 2008. I wish I knew how to upload directly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5NhfeMusKI
She’s perfect. I love that little mole she’s got!
Wow, gorgeous!
This is my signature perfume and Im so happy that someone with as much grace and beauty as Natalie Portman is the spokesperson!

Love Cherie Dior as with most of the Dior fragrances and Natalie looks amazing!!! Perfection
