French company Christian Dior has just confirmed today that it will make Mila Kunis the new face of the company.
Ads featuring the “Black Swan” actress will debut internationally, January 15 in Asian and European editions of ELLE, Vogue and Madame Figaro with U.S. debuts to follow. Charlize Theron and co-star Natalie Portman have also modeled for the high fashion company.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be working with Dior,” Kunis said in a statement to People magazine. “The brand is iconic in so many ways. It defines fashion, elegance and sophistication.”
“I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano's comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way,” Portman told The New York Times.
As a result, her contract with Christian Dior was affected. The fashion house later dismissed Galliano because of the incident. Dior's Chief Executive Sidney Toledano later told BBC News, “I very firmly condemn what was said by John Galliano.”
