'Fashion learner' Kunis is latest Dior face


Mila Kunis has been revealed as the new face of Christian Dior, despite being a "jeans and T-shirt" kind of girl.

Kunis, who appeared alongside Miss Dior Chérie face Natalie Portman in 2010 thriller Black Swan, is the latest in a long line of movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly, to be associated with Dior.

The 28-year-old actress is thrilled with her appointment, although admits her day-to-day style doesn't always match the luxurious Dior aesthetic.

"I'm honestly just learning about fashion," Kunis told WWD January 5, adding she's a "jeans and T-shirt" type.

In Kunis's just-released images for Dior, the star can be seen showcasing the latest versions of the Miss Dior handbag.

French actress Marion Cotillard, who has fronted the Lady Dior bag since 2008, is set to continue her associations with the brand and Dior is planning for a similarly long-running partnership with Kunis.

"Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress; she embodies the true modern woman. Her performance in Black Swan was remarkable. She is very gifted," said Dior's Delphine Arnault.

"We are looking forward to a long relationship with her."

Kunis's Dior Spring campaign, shot by Mikael Jansson, will break in international fashion publications starting January 15. The news comes on the same day that the first images of Twilight actress Ashley Greene's new ads for US brand DKNY have been unveiled. The campaign will hit international fashion magazines starting February.
