Newsflash: Audrey Tatou the new face of Chanel No.5
From their Paris offices Chanel have announced that French actress Audrey Tatou will replace Nicole Kidman as the new face of Chanel No. 5, one of the fashion house's most iconic scents.
A new ad campaign and television commercial will be shot by Jean -Pierre Jeunet, the man who directed Tatou in her oscar nominated role in the film Amelie.
And after the last, spectacular No.5 ad, which had Nicole Kidman starring in a 5 minute mini film directed by her Moulin Rouge director Baz Lurhman we're expecting something wonderful!

This autumn bold and bright colour is a big beauty trend, and to really drive this point home Mac and fashion designer Manish Arora have created a super bright, Indian inspired, limited edition collection, which launches in October.
Mac have always created the ostentatious make-up looks for the Manish catwalk (the designer now shows on the Paris fashion week schedule), so it made sense for the two to collaborate. The Mac team wanted to work with Manish as he is always ‘pushing the boundaries when it comes to colour, he is exceptionally different and always stands out’ said Jennifer Balbier, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Mac. Indeed Manish’s signature style has always been a maximalistic fusion of cultures which results in a heady explosion of texture and colour on his catwalks, and this new collaboration, from product to packaging, certainly taps into that vibe.
The eye palette, £30, is a rainbow of bold shades that are just perfect for flaunting this season’s geometric, bright eyes, while the bold orange and pink lipsticks, £11, will add snap to your whole winter wardrobe. Blushers, £10.50, are much softer as eyes and lips are the focus for the range, our favourite is Pink Swoon and we’re counting down the days until the collection hits counters - winter’s looking bright after all.
