NATALIE PORTMAN SHINES AT DIOR REOPENING CELEBRATION

Natalie Portman adores Dior.

The 29-year-old actress showed off her love for the French high-fashion company as she attended the reopening of Dior’s 57th Street Boutique cocktail party at LVMH Tower Magic Room in New York City on Wednesday (December 8).

Joined by fellow fashionistas Liv Tyler, Karolina Kurkova, Amy Adams and Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, Natalie spent the evening rubbing elbows with designer John Galliano while checking out the new store.

Natalie’s appearance at the star-studded event comes as no surprise as Dior just announced that Natalie, who was named the new face of their fragrances back in June, will star in the forthcoming Miss Dior Cherie campaign, which is slated to hit TV and print this coming March.

Tim Walker will shoot the print ads, and Sofia Coppola will direct the video commercials, just as they did for the former Miss Dior Cherie ads that starred Maryna Linchuk back in 2008.

Natalie will also have a hunky co-star, who is yet unnamed but apparently young enough to make her feel “like a big old cougar,” she said.
