Behind the Scenes with Milla Jovovich in Paris
Tag along with the model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich as she gets ready for the Dior Spring 2017 show–the first by the brand’s new Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri–at Paris Fashion Week.
“Pajamas on and ready for our flight to Paris! So long Los Angeles.”
“Waiting with [my manager Chris’s dog] Cheeky for our luggage ad CDG Paris. She was well behaved [on the flight]. She gets mad when we put her in the bag. Once we take off and he’s able to let her out she’s good.”
“We made it! Waiting for the elevator in the lobby of the Le Meurice Hotel. [The first thing I do] when I arrive if I have somewhere to go I take a nice hot bath to wash the flight off and get into wherever I’m at.”
“Yay! I LOVE my petit suite!”
“Arriving at the Dior showroom for my fitting. A dream come true for any girl who loves fashion!”
“Here I am pulling looks at the showroom.”
“Look option number 1. I love the capped shoulder sleeves and the fabric…”
“This little black dress is so beautiful and simple. I’m keeping this for date night with my husband!”
“I think this is a perfect look for a show at the Musee Rodin. I just need to find some shoes and a bag now!”
“It’s the morning of the show and I’m loving being pampered by Methta, who is doing my make-up. I like to be pretty like chill with hair and makeup, for the most part. I feel like I look the best when I look like myself I don’t like to do too much makeup, especially in Europe. European girls just don’t do the makeup thing.”
“Stephan Bodin doing my hair. I just cut my hair a few days ago. I’ve been getting ready to shoot a film and I am kind of going to cut it shorter, but I go in stages, so I cut my hair shorter like a month ago, and now I cut it again a little bit shorter, and then by the end of the month it will be kind of shorter again.”
“Hmmmm, which bag shall I choose?”
“All dressed up and ready to go! First, I stopped to take a picture with my favorite valet at Hotel Meurice.”
“I’ve arrived! Which way should I look?”
“Posing under the Iconic Dior Logo… it makes my heart skip a beat to be included in the history of Christian Dior.”
“Oh there’s my seat. I’ll put my bag down and do some pre-show socializing.”
“Posing for a pic with the enchanting actress Haley Bennett. She had an amazing Leica, 55 millimeter, which I thought was so cool. I always love a girl with a leica.”
“Time for a pre-show selfie.”
“One of my favorite looks from the show.”
“I loved the lace and the embroidery. So gorgeous. It really reminded me of these beautiful Russian cartoons from the ’60, but mixed with this kind of bondage leather and lace feeling.”
“Another of my favorite looks.”
“It was obviously a mess backstage, but I was really happy to come and support Maria Grazia Chiuri. It was nice to give her a kiss and congratulate her.”
