Though the Academy Award winning actress has worked closely with Dior in the past, this is the first time she has appeared as a muse for a fragrance.

“Marion Cotillard takes her unique perspective from film to film, creating an exceptional destiny as a free woman,” Chanel said in a statement.

“The perfect incarnation of French natural beauty, Marion Cotillard has an irresistible ‘je ne sais quoi’ that’s all her own. She is bringing her elegance to the image of the iconic N°5 fragrance.”

The campaign is expected to be unveiled later this year.
