What a great start to the year. Eden found a clearer cropped look at the new Dior Iconic Overcurl photo, and with it a gorgeous new black and white shot that is either behind the scenes or “behind the scenes” – emphasis on the quotes.
Thanks to EdenLiao, we have several other looks at the new Dior photo. The campaign is Diorshow Iconic Overcurl, and let’s hope the image has not being manipulated in photoshop this time.
Two more after the jump…
The first new photo of Natalie in ages and boy is it a good one. Here she is in a glimpse at a brand new Dior advert for the Diorshow campaign. Not wanting to sound greedy but hopefully there are more and better versions just around the corner. Thanks to Anqxxx for the find.
I’ve updated the gallery with a couple of new-old photos of Natalie speaking at a press conference for her Miss Dior campaign at Chelsea Piers in New York City back in 2010. These are some of the very few professional-looking photos we have of this appearance. Unfortunately, there’s only two and they’re watermarked. Boo.
In the most ridiculous news of the day, Natalie’s print ad for DiorShow New Look mascara has been banned by the ASA. Fashionista has the details:
According to an article by the Telegraph (since removed from their site) referenced by the Huffington Post, the brand’s beauty department is under fire after a mascara ad featuring Natalie Portman was reported to the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK. And who filed the complaint? Rival beauty company (and also a former ASA ban victim) L’Oréal UK, who allege that the ad for Dior’s Dior Show New Look Mascara exaggerates the effects of the mascara with Photoshop.
Dior claims that the image in question was originally intended for a lipstick ad, and that Portman is not wearing false eyelashes, per Vogue UK. Still, Dior has voluntarily withdrawn the ad rather than wait out a formal investigation, which would require that they argue that the allegations of digital enhancement were false. Further, Dior does admit to retouching Portman’s lashes to “separate/increase the length and curve of a number of her lashes and to replace/fill a number of missing or damaged lashes, for a more stylised, uniform and tidy effect.” We’re not initiated in beauty advert speak, but that kind of sounds to us like they did in fact digitally exaggerate the effects of the mascara.
Seriously scratching my head over this one considering it’s fairly tame as far as cosmetics advertisements go (unlike the over-the-top computer generated eyelashes I’ve seen in L’Oreal’s). If we’re going to ban beauty ads for being misleading, I think it’s only fair to ban them all.
I’ve updated the gallery with four new outtakes from Natalie’s Frederic Auerbach photo shoot for Dior. Thanks to toto20 and cherryvanilla for the great finds.
Natalie wore an altered Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture gown to the Van Cleef & Arpels’ party for LA Dance Project last Saturday.
I’ve replaced most of the photos from Natalie’s Alexi Lubomirski editorial (featured in the Stars in Dior coffee table book) with larger, higher quality versions. Again, a huge thanks to Jacqueline.
I’ve replaced the bulk of the photos from Natalie’s recent Dior editorial with larger, higher quality versions. A big, big thanks to Jacqueline.
Cherryvanilla found a new promotional video for Dior’s The New Nude campaign, which features a lot of really nice shots of Natalie posing for the print ads. Hopefully this turns up somewhere in HQ.
I’ve updated the gallery with two new (albeit very low quality and unfortunately watermarked) photos from Natalie’s recent Dior promo. The photos were found alongside an interview with Natalie (my Spanish is pretty rusty, but it looks like more of the same old stuff) for the September 2012 issue of TELVA.
Garcy found a great preview of Natalie’s fall campaign for Rouge Dior’s Nude Grège N°169. If you’ve been following the campaign, you’ll remember this is the shade Natalie chose to promote in benefit of the Free The Children foundation. All profits from the sales will be going towards scholarships for girls’ secondary education in Kenya.
We’ve updated the gallery with a new addition to Natalie’s latest photo shoot for Christian Dior. Hopefully this won’t be the last!
I’ve updated the gallery with some great new candids of Natalie on the set of a photo shoot for her new Miss Dior campaign in Paris last Tuesday.
The drought is over (for today at least)! Not sure if these are for a magazine or part of her Dior campaign, but either way we have some brand spanking new editorial photos of Natalie for you to enjoy.
I’ve updated the gallery with two new-old B&W photos of Natalie posing at Dior’s Candlelight Delight dinner in Paris earlier this month.
I’ve updated the gallery with a new photo of Natalie speaking at the Dior and Free The Children press event in Paris last week.
I’ve updated the gallery with a new photo of Natalie posing at Dior’s Candelight Delight dinner in Paris last week.
I’ve updated the gallery with this awkwardly sexy new-oldie from Natalie’s Miss Dior Cherie photo shoot.
I’ve updated the gallery with an HQ scan of the new Spring/Summer 2012 print ad for the Miss Dior fragrance, found by cherryvanilla.
