Charlize Theron has signed a contract with Christian Dior to be the face of its bestselling perfume J’adore, pitting her against fellow Oscar winner Nicole Kidman who will launch a similar campaign for Chanel. Theron is due to star in print and television advertisements for J’adore starting in the autumn, a spokeswoman for Parfums Christian Dior said on Friday.
She could not provide details of the contract, but trade publication Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) on Friday quoted industry sources as saying the South African actress had signed a three-year deal worth between $3 million and $5 million. The Dior campaign starring Theron was a collaboration between photographer Nick Knight and rebel British designer John Galliano, who has revolutionized the image of the label with extravagant and provocative catwalk displays.
