Marion Cotillard floats gracefully into the air in a new campaign for Lady Dior, the fashion house's most iconic handbag.

In images from the campaign, the 38-year-old French actress looks effortlessly angelic in delicate dresses from the pre-fall collection designed by Raf Simons, clutching several different versions of the handbag.

A behind-the-scenes video of the shoot shows how the longtime face of Dior jumped up and down on a trampoline to expertly strike her graceful poses midair.

The original Lady Dior bag was created in 1995 and quickly became associated with Princess Diana, who was regularly spotted toting the accessory.

According to CR Fashion Book, 'Dior sought her permission to name the bag in her honor, and the Lady Dior has been gracing the most discerning elbows ever since.'

Yes - count me among those who find her views so repugnant I have no interest in seeing her movies. But still I'll admit she's beautiful. I don't know why she keeps coming back to the US and haunting us - I'd think she'd stay on her side of the ocean.

Now this is more like it for Dior. Marion is wonderful. Unfortunately, those gowns JLaw wears to the awards have the same 'no shoulder to the dress' style. Quite boring. Not so with Marion, she is beautiful with beautiful dresses. This is what will make me want to buy Dior.
