Petite Pretties

We cheer (and jeer) all of the gowns that go down the red carpets, but rarely stop to think about the incredibly intricate work that goes into each inch of a custom couture dress. I'm a sucker for behind the scenes and how it's made videos, so I was mesmerized by these shorts showing the making of (totally adorable) miniature Dior gowns. The detail that makes up these dresses – and these are doll-sized! – makes you really appreciate the full-sized beaut.    

... I can't decide which is more impressive ...

A Rosy Outlook

Speaking of Miss Dior, perhaps you saw the splendor of the new perfume ad during the Oscars last week. The dreamy new spot, titled "La Vie en Rose", was directed by Sofia Coppola and stars Natalie Portman in pretty pale dresses, driving around in vintage cars with a handsome fella, and falling into a bed of roses ... pretty much all things that makeup the perfect girlie day dream.

Watch the "rosy" short below and see the making of the film here.

J'Adore

Hot off her Oscar win, "it" lady Jennifer Lawrence made her debut as the new face of Miss Dior. While the star usually has a sweet, girl next door look, Lawrence is almost unrecognizable with flawless makeup and sleek dark locks in this new glam campaign. I love the classic, almost old Hollywood feel to the images, proof that she really is a leading lady.
