Following her role in Amelie where she oozed feminine charm, Karl Lagerfeld has picked Audrey Tautou to star in the new Chanel no 5 commercial. t5m’s Angelica Hermon reports on Lagerfeld’s new addiction to sexy brunettes…
Tautou, along with Lily Allen is among the few lucky ladies who are to become the new faces of the classic designer label . With her stunning features framed in thick glossy brown hair, Audrey looks breathtakingly elegant in that ever-so-chic way that only the French can achieve.
The epitome of Parisian chic, Tautou has replaced actress Nicole Kidman as the new face of the Chanel No. 5 perfume. The two-minute advertisement, entitled ‘Train de Nuit’, was directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet (the director of Amelie) and is arguably the best and most dramatic yet.
Set on the romantic Orient Express, Tautou embarks on an adventure in which she is struck by love at first sight with an outrageously handsome male. Doomed by bad luck, Tautou manages to miss her beau on several close encounters, but would Lagerfeld ever dare to leave us with an unhappy ending? Watch the clip to find out!
Classically shot in all the signature Chanel style, attention to detail is what makes this commercial such a wonder to watch…
