Our cover star Natalie Portman has never looked so beautiful. A wonderful blend of beauty, approachability and positivity, Portman is every bit the modern personification of Miss Dior, the free spirited and feminine fragrance that Portman has been the face of since 2011.
Miss Dior has now been reimagined as a parfum by Dior’s in-house perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian, who has put the spotlight on sparkling jasmine and blended it with the sweet notes of strawberry and a sultry base of amber and woods. If you’re a fan of the original, you’ll love this modern, refined version.

“It’s been so involved to get to be part of this iconic brand that’s so synonymous with luxury and elegance and women’s expression of individuality,” says Portman of Dior Beauty. “It’s also been extraordinary to see the brand grow – and just to see this incredible continuation of support of female artists.”
For the campaign, Portman tells marie claire Australia exclusively that she loved stepping into the Miss Dior character once again.
“It was so fun to get to dance with this character,” Portman says. “I feel like it was such an expression of that freedom, joy, exuberance and lust for life.”
Portman says that she went to Grasse in France to visit Dior’s famed flower gardens.
“It was so extraordinary to go to Grasse and visit the flower fields,” she says. “When the roses are all blooming in May and you can smell their [scent] on the wind, it’s really extraordinary.”
To get the same heavenly waft at home, Portman says she applies her perfume just as her grandmother did.
“My grandmother loved perfume and makeup,” says Portman. “I know the smell of my grandma very well, she had a very particular smell. She was the one who showed me to spray the perfume and then walk through it. My mom did it too.”
For the marie clarie Australia April issue cover, shot by photographer Felix Cooper, Portman is dressed in Christian Dior fashion and jewellery, with all makeup by Dior Beauty.
We can’t get enough of Portman’s bronzed winged eye, flawless glowing skin with a hint of nude blush on her high cheekbones, and a beautiful natural lip balm to finish the feminine look. It’s a classic yet modern makeup look for just about any occasion and it only takes a few key Dior Beauty makeup pieces to achieve.
