Marion Cotillard's Parisian-Chic Style, As Summed Up in 13 Christian Dior Ensembles

If you thought Jennifer Lawrence's contract with Dior meant the star was the French label's biggest supporter, it turns out you were wrong.

To prove just that — and to celebrate the star's 38th birthday — click through to see 13 of her best-ever Dior ensembles.
