Jennifer Lawrence: “I’m very excited at the idea of working with Dior”

Jennifer Lawrence is well on her way to follow in the footsteps of Natalie Portman, Kristen Stewart, and Blake Lively! The Kentucky-born beauty has just landed her first luxury fashion campaign as the new face of Christian Dior’s Miss Dior bag.

“I’m very excited at the idea of working with Dior and wearing Raf Simons’ new creations,” said Lawrence. “His debut ready-to-wear and haute couture have distilled all the glamour of Dior into the modern era.”

The fashion house was smart to make the announcement so close after Jennifer’s stunning Vogue Uk debut permanently cementing the star of the Hunger Games as a high-fashion red carpet sweetheart!  Lawrence was spotted front row at Simons debut show during Paris Fashion Week alongside boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, whom she co-starred with in X-Men: First Class.

Last month, Jennifer was the envy of every woman when she wore a stunning Dior dress from their coveted Couture Collection for the premiere of her latest film Silver Linings Playbook during the Toronto Film Festival.

“Like everyone else, I first discovered Jennifer Lawrence in the roles she played in action movies,” said Dior creative director Raf Simons. “I was, of course, struck by her incredible on-screen presence in these blockbuster films, but also impressed by her powerful interpretations of subtler more rounded characters. Her youth and her classic beauty, but also her force of character and the complexity she’s capable of embodying at such a young age, are, for me, both unique and very moving.”

The print advertisements will make their glossy debut in March 2013.
