Marion Cotillard covers the first issue (Fall/Winter 12.13) of Dior Magazine, which is essentially a special, frothy catalogue only handed out to those who frequent Dior boutiques, but at least the photos have been released. As such, we now can all drool over the iconic pieces of from Dior past that Marion is wearing in the shoot. These outfits are positively sumptuous, and I know that Marion and Dior are both French (and not Russian), but this particular shot reminds me of how I always pictured Anna Karenina at the ball.

Of course, Marion looks positively lovely in all of these pictures, but I can’t help but wonder how much better she would look without her mouth hanging open. It’s a pet peeve of mine.

Marion has also starred within a mini-documentary that shows the process of the photoshoot and some more behind the scenes stuff from her handbag campaign. I’ve never understood her as an actress beyond her Oscar-winning turn as Edith Piaf, but I’ve really only seen her Hollywood stuff, so perhaps I cannot judge in that regard. Marion does make an excellent model though:

Here are the rest of the shots from the magazine. She’s so bloody gorgeous here.
