Actress with an international career, Caesarized, Oscar-winner and having worked with the greatest directors… What other figure than Marion Cotillard to become the icon of Chanel?
The world may laugh at her death in The Dark Knight Rise, but it is undeniable that Marion Cotillard is one of the most gifted actresses of her generation.
Promoting France for years in international cinema, it seemed logical that it would honor French elegance via a house as prestigious as Chanel. The brand has also expressed itself unequivocally about this new partnership:
"The embodiment of French natural beauty, Marion Cotillard has that irresistible 'je ne sais quoi' that belongs only to her. It brings its elegance to the image of the iconic perfume N°5"
Chanel – Press Release
The actress succeeds Margot Robbie, Kirsten Stewart and Keira Knightley. We do not yet know when we will be able to discover this advertising campaign, but it is a safe bet that it will be in a few months.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that the actress has become the face of a prestigious brand. She had represented Dior from 2008 to 2017, even turning in various promotional spots directed by David Lynch or even Olivier Dahan (no less!). It must therefore be believed that Marion Cotillard has not finished radiating French chic.
We will also be able to find Marion Cotillard soon in Asterix & Obelix: the Middle Kingdom (directed by Guillaume Canet), as well as in Annette, a musical film currently in pre-production.
