After the international promotional tour for ‘Public Enemies‘ but before somewhat disappearing from the limelight to prepare for her upcoming role in Guillaume Canet’s Les Petits Mouchoirs and to take a much deserved vacation (in St. Tropez) Marion Cotillard as the face of Lady Dior attended the Dior Haute Couture Autumn/Winter show during the Paris Fashion Week on July 6. She was pictured with President and Chief Executive Officer of Christian Dior Couture Sidney Toledano, John Galliano, Clotilde Courau and Nora Arnazeder.

“I loved the outside underwear and the black and flesh colors together,” said the petite actress Marion Cotillard, who was perched on Dior platform shoes so high she was on a level with Mr. Arnault. (source)

On a hot summer day earlier this month (July 2) Marion Cotillard attended the ‘Public Enemies’ Press Conference in the Hotel George-V in Paris. Later she joined Johnny Depp and Michael Mann on the red carpet for the big premiere. She signed many pictures, wore impressive Galliano red sequin shoes and was accompanied by her mother Niseema Theillaud.

Presumably before or after the “La Fête du Cinema” Cocktail Lunch Marion also recorded an interview with French TV channel TF1. It aired during the evening news of July 1. I added captures and a clip. The audio is unfortunately out of sync with the video towards the end, but I couldn’t do a better job. Sorry.

I’m back from my summer travels for the time being so I can catch up on all those Marion news I missed during my absence. To start, I have the actual scans of the article I posted last time. The French publication ‘Le Figaro Magazine’ visited the Marrocan set of ‘Le dernier vol‘ and they published some new stills! So exciting!!

Exciting news! Dior has posted the very first picture from the second part of the Lady Dior story, which takes place in New York. The pictures for the Print Ads are shot by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. Remember, for Paris it was Peter Lindbergh. Ultimately the print campaign will again be followed by a short video starring Marion Cotillard, this time entitled The Lady Red Affair.

The European ‘Public Enemies‘ Premiere took place earlier today in London. Stephen Graham joined Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard and Michael Mann. Marion looked lovely in a red Vivienne Westwood dress – which unfortunately seems to have ripped after signing autographs and walking the red carpet.

Last week, ‘Public Enemies‘ had its “official” world premiere during the Los Angeles Film Festival. Marion Cotillard together with Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Michael Mann – along with many of the other stars of the movie – attended the premiere. Finally, I’ve added the pictures. Enjoy!
