Dior lands another ‘Black Swan’ actress! Last year Natalie Portman was seen in Miss Dior Cherie fragrance ads, and were a huge success!  Now, Natalie’s ‘Black Swan’ costar Mila Kunis has also signed on to join the label’s list of A-List models!

The softly-lit campaign for the label’s spring 2012 collection sees the Ukraine-born actress, 28, dressed in black, posing with the new Miss Dior handbag.

It is a major coup for a girl who describes herself as a ‘jeans and T-shirt’ type.

Miss Kunis told WWD: ‘I’m honestly just learning about fashion… In my daily life, I don’t wear the most feminine pieces. But I love to feel feminine when I’m on the red carpet.’

Indeed, it seems we can expect to see her wearing much more of the label at premieres and during the coming awards season.

‘I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house,’ she continued. ‘I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful.’

The feeling is mutual too – bosses at Dior are besotted with the rising star, who last year starred alongside Justin Timberlake in Friends With Benefits.

Delphine Arnault, deputy general manager at Dior, told WWD: ‘Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress… Her performance in Black Swan was remarkable. She is very gifted.’

Explaining why Dior was looking to Hollywood for its campaigns, she added: ‘Christian Dior designed several costumes for the movies and maintained personal relationships with such actresses as Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor and Grace Kelly.

‘It is thus only natural for the house of Dior to continue to develop a very specific and personal relationship with actresses.’

Miss Kunis, who admits posing for Dior ‘wasn’t the hardest thing to do’, joins an illustrious line-up of house models for Dior.

As well as Miss Portman, the names count A-listers Marion Cotillard, Jude Law and Charlize Theron.

The campaign will launch in China later this month, appearing in U.S. titles from the end of January.

I think Mila is gorgeous. She has such a sensual beauty. Perfect fit for Dior if you ask me!

Last month, DKNY unveiled Ashley Greene’s DKNY Jeans billboard over Times Square in NYC. The black-and-white ad showed her in hip-hugging flares and a tight, low-cut white tank top.

And now, the star’s campaign photo for DKNY has been revealed — in color — where she is dressed in a much edgier and fashion-forward ensemble.

Shot by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and styled by Melanie Ward, the 24-year-old actress poses high above The Big Apple on the roof of the iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel, clad in a black and green 3/4 sleeve blazer, coordinating tailored trousers and towering black wedges.

“I love wedges right now,” the star told Us Weekly in NYC December 22. “They’re really comfortable and, especially when you’re running around New York, it’s nice to have a shoe that you can walk in.”

Dakota Fanning has landed the February 2012 cover of Elle UK, and she looks absolutely gorgeous!

On her youthful age of 17-years-old:
“I feel like I’ve lived a long time, but then I realize, ‘Oh, I’m actually only 17.’ I don’t think there should be an age limit on an interest, do you know what I mean?”

On not wanting attention outside of her acting:
“I just want to be an actress. I don’t really do anything attention-grabbing. Famous just sounds so pretentious. Who am I to call myself that word?”

On not letting talk about her physical appearance affect her:
“People are always talking about this person who looks great and that person who doesn’t. It’s there, if you let it in. I let it in to an extent. I just don’t let it affect the choices I make.”

On her younger sister Elle:
“She is incredibly free-spirited and totally wears her heart on her sleeve, you know exactly what she is thinking by taking one look at her. She’s just incredibly… I don’t know, I wish I could be more like her sometimes.”

On not comparing herself with her sister:
“We see ourselves as to completely different entities. I mean, we don’t even look alike.”

I know this has nothing to do with Making HER Up, but hey… sue me.

Thank you, 2012, for this post-Christmas gift: a new David Beckham underwear ad.

David Beckham poses in H&M’s new ad, which promotes his new H&M bodywear line. I mean who better to promote his line of boxers – than the man himself!

Ok now back to your regularly scheduled girlie posts.

Ashley Greene is the new face of DKNY, and her first photos for the label just came out this week. “It’s easy to talk about how these clothes work for my lifestyle, whether I’m in New York, L.A. or traveling for work,” The Twilight actress  said when she got the gig.

When Rodarte was looking for girls that epitomize their Cali-bred brand, they called upon brand loyalists Kirsten Dunst and mini muse, Elle Fanning.

For a new Rodarte-curated issue of biannual publication, A MAGAZINE, the ingénue wears the spring line with perfect preteen panache.

Lindsay Lohan landed herself a real-life-paying job! Jag Jeans paid the troubled star (or “style icon” if you believe their press release) to model their clothes. Check out their press release. It’s precious.

The Jag Jeans crew traveled to Los Angeles to shoot the style icon at the landmark SLS Boutique Hotel in Beverly Hills. Led by world-renowned photographer YuTsai, who has spearheaded photo shoots for such international celebrity beauties as Anne Hathaway, Mila Kunis, Rihanna and Janet Jackson, it was clear that the spread for Jag Jeans was going to be once again artistic and edgy.

And Lindsay did not disappoint.

Like a woman who knows what she wants, Lindsay worked closely with Jag’s stylist Maya Krispin, who has styled Tinseltown’s biggest names like Katy Perry, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, to personally select her wardrobe for every spread.

Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set. She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way. Lindsay would take a hands-on approach to her shots, as she was more than willing to change her hairstyle during mid-shoot and even used her own personal jewelry and accessories when needed.

Lindsay was impressed by Jag’s Push Up Skinny Jeans and Flared Jeans, and even asked if she could keep a peach top and the denim shorts she used during the shoot.

With Lindsay’s appeal, lensman YuTsai’s intricate eye for detail, stylist Maya’s heightened fashion sense and the Philippe Starck-designed SLS hotel as its canvas, the shoot stamped Jag Jeans mark as an international brand to be reckoned with.

That was hilarious. She was “so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set”?! Love it.

What do you think. Does Lindsay still have clout as a model? Do people pay her more for the controversy surrounding her – or because she’s actually a decent model?

Here’s what I think. Who’d ever heard of Jag Jeans before this ad. Enough said.
