Catch her if you can!
Natalie Portman is starring in a new short film for the Miss Dior line of perfumes—and the actress is making a run for it: In the video, Portman wears a stunning, hand-crafted wedding dress but doesn't quite make it to her vows. Shot by French photographer and director Anton Corbijn with a breathtaking backdrop of the French Riviera, the footage deviates from black-and-white to color as Natalie grapples with walking down the altar or running free.
With Janis Joplin's feminist anthem "Piece of My Heart," roaring behind her, the actress decides to choose life as a Miss over a Madam (hence the film's title and signature line "It's Miss, Actually").
Cue the run, which ends with Natalie standing before a cliff that overlooks the sea (in a chic LBD, of course). A helicopter circles overhead, which leads to the biggest surprise in the short film: Natalie gets in the chopper, accompanied by a man who we might assume to be her lover.
This latest commercial marks one of many collaborations Portman has crafted with Dior (she's been a brand ambassador since 2010). The video is visually breathtaking—for even more than that fabric flower-embellished ombré gown—and we're also drooling over her beauty look, which fits perfectly with the film's theme: loose, cascading locks, a dramatic winged eye and unapologetic pink lips.
In other words, go Natalie, go!
