As we all wait in anticipation to see what Dior design Jennifer Lawrence will flaunt at this year's Oscars, the fashion house has held fans over by offering up their latest campaign starring the actress in the meantime.
Like her Dior last campaign, the ads featuring Lawrence are minimal; unlike her last Dior campaign, she actually looks like herself (although it's obvious that her torso either isn't pictured or blatantly covered up). Naturally, she looks stunning in all of them (catch the rest after the jump!) and easily sells both of the bags featured in the photos - although if the black-and-white headshots are supposed to sell their make-up, I'm not quite sold on that considering how bare face she appears to be.

VIDEO: Robert Pattinson, Camille Rowe Star in Dior Homme Ad
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, Videos,
No one does the mysterious and brooding type better than Robert Pattinson, which is likely why the folks over at Dior casted him as the mysterious, brooding love interest opposite model Camille Rowe.
Released earlier today, the black-and-white (save for the end - ooh that's artsy!) clip sees Pattinson and Rowe as a fashionable-but-rebellious couple smoking cigarettes and causing a ruckus at a fancy dinner hall. Because, naturally, when you wear Dior Homme, you're compelled to act like you're in a French New Wave film.

Items Du Jour: Rooney Scores Dior, Doutzen Pulls an Angelina
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
+ Considering she has both the face and body for high fashion, it's no wonder that actress Rooney Mara has signed with Dior to lend her face to their Down Town fragrance campaign. Naturally, her face is so gorgeously distracting that it's barely apparent that the photo is an ad for a perfume.
+ Model Doutzen Kroes imitates Angelina Jolie's famous 2010 Oscar dress, showing off some serious leggage at the Cannes Film Festival in Atelier Versace (albeit, looking somewhat like a superhero).
+ Despite her doctor's orders to avoid tight-fitting shoes, a very pregnant Kim Kardashian was spotted desperately trying to squeeze into her Givenchy heels.
+ Harper's Bazaar features supermodel Christy Turlington on next month's cover, which notes that she's still fabulous at 44 - as if we still didn't need reminding since she turned 40.

PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence for Miss Dior
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Jennifer Lawrence must be celebrating twice over this week, as not only is it Oscar Sunday, but her campaign for Miss Dior was released on Thursday!
The Silver Linings Playbook star looks completely Photoshopped barely unrecognizeable in the high fashion editorial photos for the luxury handbag line.
"It's such a dream to represent an iconic brand that is synonymous with high fashion. I'm so excited to be working with the fashion house and wear the new creations by Raf Simons. His most recent haute couture and ready-to-wear collections glamorously capture the modern era at Dior," Lawrence said previously in a statement, when it was announced in October that she would front the Miss Dior line.
According to WWD, the campaign will debut in Numéro, later appearing in the major fashion glossies in March.

Robert Pattinson has signed a $12 million fragrance deal with Dior.
The Twilight Saga actor is reportedly set to be named the new face of the French fashion house's line of men's fragrances and will star in an advertising campaign in the coming months.
According to E! News, the deal is for three years with a source close to the actor saying, "Rob likes the brand."
If the deal goes ahead, Robert will be following in the footsteps of his on and off screen lover Kristen Stewart, who is the face of Balenciaga fragrances. Speaking about her relationship with the Spanish design house, she previously said, "Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always knew and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That's the way it is."

Dior Always Planned on Replacing Galliano
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Rumors,
Finding a new artistic director was always on the agenda for Christian Dior.
Raf Simons was appointed to the role at the fashion house last month - replacing John Galliano who was sacked in March 2011 following an anti-Semitic rant - and although Dior waited 13 months to name a new designer, during which time profits unexpectedly grew, president and chief executive Sidney Toledano said they never considered continuing without one.
"I never considered that. I always thought we absolutely needed an artistic director. They, and their charisma, are what create breakthroughs. But you make choices about how you use that. The role of artistic director for a lifestyle brand - one that implies all the aspects of life such as vacation, sports, and so on - is different from the role of artistic director in a luxury brand. [They are] a shorthand to help consumers understand the brand, and to embody it," he said.

Charlize Theron is Excited for Simon’s Dior Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
The Snow White and the Huntsmen actress - who is one of the faces of the French fashion house - is very excited about what Raf is going to come up with after replacing John Galliano at the label.
"Working with the house of Dior is like working with family: they know me and my body so well. I met with Raf Simon in Paris recently and I'm really looking forward to working with him. I'm particularly excited to see his first couture collection in July," she said.
The Oscar-winning beauty also revealed how she likes to archive her designer dresses once she's worn them as they always bring back special memories: "I have my own archive for them - they're in a temperature controlled room, packaged up properly. I'm not usually sentimental about material things but I do like going in to that room and looking at those dresses and thinking 'wow-I'm a lucky bitch!' I never got to go to my prom - so maybe that's why I love wearing those special dresses so much now!"
Raf Simons’ Dior Vow

Raf Simons insists he won't be bringing a new age of minimalism to Christian Dior.
The Belgian designer - who was named as the fashion house's new artistic director on Monday - says while he will be bringing his own vision to the label he won't sacrifice its feminine history.
"I don't think it's wrong to call me a minimalist. It's wrong to call me a minimalist only. I am also a romantic person. My main inspiration will be femininity...because it's beautiful, endless and permanent. I'm interested in creativity, the evolution of creativity and the relationship between creativity and the times we live in. When I'm married to a house, I will fully embrace its original intention, its original heritage and meaning. I wouldn't go to that place if I only had minimalism in mind. I'm very aware of what the environment is about," he told WWD.
A spokesperson for the designer also confirmed his eponymous menswear line will continue as before, with Simons at the creative helm: "The Raf Simons brand continues with no changes. The Spring/Summer 2013 show will be presented in Paris next June."
