Jennifer Lawrence’s flawless Dior campaign
Jennifer Lawrence has brought her piercing blue eyes and natural beauty back for another Dior campaign.
With bare make-up — her eyes highlighted only with dark gold eyeshadow — the 23-year-old has her short hair tousled and windswept, and her features airbrushed flawlessly in the ads, which will launch just in time for the Oscars, where she is nominated for best supporting actress for American Hustle.
Wearing a black tuxedo blazer and a strapless dress from the French fashion house’s spring collection, this marks Lawrence’s third campaign for Dior.
The actress, who has already scooped up Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for her role in American Hustle, was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier for the campaign.
As well as print magazines, Dior will feature the images on dior.com from today, which will also include a video, which shows Lawrence visiting the house’s ateliers to select her couture dress for Oscar night on March 2.
“Now I get the haute couture thing,” she tells the camera. “It’s a big deal.”

Nicki Minaj sued for $30 million by former hairstylist
Rap star Nicki Minaj is being sued for $30 million by her former wig maker for ‘stealing’ his outlandish designs.
Time.com reports that celebrity hairstylist Terrence Davidson was left fuming after seeing imitations of his colourful coiffeurs for sale on Minaj’s website — something that she would profit from, not him.
Christopher Chestnut, an attorney for Davidson, said: “Her lawyers may complicate it, but we don’t need to get into intellectual property law. This is basic American morality.
“Nicki Minaj lied to this man and cheated him.”
Minaj recruited Davidson in January 2010, before the release of her platinum-selling debut album Pink Friday.
The hairpieces he created — which ranged from black to blonde to a cotton-candy colour — were a big part of her transformation from an emerging hip-hop artiste to a pop sensation.
Davidson previously told Allure magazine that he created more than 100 wigs for Trinidadian-born Miss Minaj and had all of them filed on shelves at home “like a library”.
In January 2013, he left her team altogether, citing creative differences.
Now, with Minaj-branded wigs on sale on her own website from $14.95, and with miniature wigs gracing the tops of her fragrance bottles, Davidson wants a share of the profits.

Lara Stone and Cindy Crawford dare to go bare
Lara Stone and Cindy Crawford left nothing to the imagination as they stripped off for a black and white nude photo shoot for the March issue of W magazine.
Blonde beauty Lara, 30, went one step further than Cindy by exposing her bare breasts with a front-on shot taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot exclusively for the magazine.
Lara did cover up slightly with black underwear and a pair of black killer heels.
While she left her clothes at home, Lara did accessorise her look with a big necklace and matching bracelets.
Although Cindy opted to cover up her nipples for the shoot with a big white duvet, the 48-year-old model exposed her bare behind for the shoot.
She was pictured squeezing the quilt tight up to her body as she lay on the bed appearing to be completely naked.
