I’ve long thought that Natalie Portman would be a great brand ambassador for Chanel and have gone as far as saying that I think Natalie Portman should be the face of a Chanel fragrance. Though that hasn’t happened (yet) Mlle. Portman was recently shot for the cover of V Magazine and she’s wearing head-to-toe Chanel. To commemorate the issue, V Magazine “commissioned filmmaker Stephen Smith to create stop-motion footage that captures the eternal chic of Chanel.” The film ends with the ensemble that Portman is wearing on the cover – très chic!
A while back I posted about how I thought Keira Knightley was not the right person for the Coco Mademoiselle ads. “Though stunningly beautiful, I didn’t think Ms. Knightly embodied the class, elegance and style of Mlle. Chanel.” I meant to add that I thought Natalie Portman would have been a better choice. I just saw this photo of Ms. Portman wearing Chanel recently and it made me think of that again. Chanel announced a while back that Audrey Tautou would be the new face of Chanel No. 5 so I guess that’s out of the question for now. We’ll have to see, but my vote for the next face of a Chanel fragrance is N.P.
