The first time I saw Marion Cotillard was in Ridley Scott's A Good Year (2006) along side Russell Crowe. I loved the film of course (what's not to love? Set in Provence and starring a trim and very funny Russell Crowe, need I say more?) Marion played Fanny Chanel a great name for a gorgeous and sassy character.
Later I saw her as Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose (2007) for which she won many awards, an Oscar being one of them. Her performance was uncanny, I hardly recognised her as the Little Sparrow.
Since then I have seen her in Public Enemies (2009) and of course Nine (2010) - in which I do believe she stole the show.

She is also the face of the Lady Dior handbag, not a bad gig if you can get it!
I love that she doesn't have a problem with wearing her favourite things over and over. I do that too, but it's mostly because I don't have anything else to choose from. For Marion, my guess is that she just loves to wear what she loves to wear. Whether it is her multi-coloured Ray-Ban's or her favourite hat.
I loved the jumpsuit she wore at last month's Cannes Film Festival too, it was daring and different and she looked gorgeous in it too.
She's naturally pretty; she doesn't need all that make up - but hey... show me a French actress that does need all that? It must be something in the water over there.
