Stunning French actress Marion Cotillard made such a splash in Christian Dior's Lady Dior spring advertisements, she's back again for fall.

This time around the glamorous globetrotter has left Paris for another fashion capital: New York. Iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz captured this image of Marion and a slouchy Lady Dior quilted purse. Marion's face is the mirror seems to suggest that double life we saw in Christian Dior's short film, The Lady Noire Affair.

These ads will grace fashion mags in August before being plastered about Paris during October's Fashion Week. The exposure's sure to be massive, which makes me long for something a little more striking.

The Paris ads, with Marion perched atop the Eiffel Tower, were so dramatic. This time around Marion and the Christian Dior handbag are equally gorgeous, yet the ad itself still looks a little pedestrian in comparison!

Thankfully it's only the first commercial in the series, so I'm hoping for something better to come.
