In the latest Miss Dior campaign Natalie Portman is a bride - or rather a runaway bride. In the 'It's Miss, Actually' ad, directed by Anton Corbijin, Natalie wears the Dior gown of our dreams to walk down the aisle in front of the sparkling Riviera.
Before we get onto her exit, let's talk about the dress. She wears a breathtaking Dior Couture strapless wedding gown covered in hundreds of delicate hand-cut flowers, with a high-low hemline. It took more than 600 hours of work and Dior tells People that each bouquet was sewn onto a tulle base with “irregular petit point stitches to give vibrancy to the embroidery, on both the flat and the raised parts.”
But before you know it she's kicking off her shoes, running through a field and dumping the dress in the grass. Why the couture Natalie, WHY?
Instead of hopping onto a FedEx van a la Julia Roberts, she is air-lifted from the Riviera in a dove grey Christian Dior chopper. Pink petals fly, Janis Joplin's 'Piece Of My Heart' blasts and Miss Portman and her handsome co-pilot arrive in Paris just in time for sunset.
Watch the dreamy film below and try not to be too angry at Natalie for dumping that dress...
