Daphne Groeneveld Channels Brigitte Bardot in Dior's Newest Video

Ah, to be young, French, and beautiful — that's the image Daphne Groeneveld evokes in the new short film for Dior's Addict fragrance.

Ah, to be young, French, and beautiful — that's the image Daphne Groeneveld evokes in the new short film for Dior's Addict fragrance.

The two-minute "director's cut" clip, directed by Jonas Akerlund, shows Groeneveld dancing around to Stereo Total's "I Love You, Ono" on the French Riviera. First she languishes on the beach in a tiny black bikini, looking like a modern version of Brigitte Bardot in Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. Later, she puts on a black t-shirt and jeans to head into town. Groeneveld turns heads when she wears one of the house's red leather skirts into a bar, where she sparks an impromptu dance party that spills into the street.

A look at the video, in all its French New Wave glory, below.

Watch the Eccentric Versace For H&M TV Commercial

Daphne clones are pumped out on a conveyor belt in one scene; in another, Donatella Versace pulls on ropes attached to the two models like marionettes; and in still another, Versace picks up Groeneveld by thumb and forefinger as she runs up a staircase. The spot ends with Donatella turning around and pronouncing, "My house, my rules, my pleasure." Watch it here, now.

Watch Kate Moss in Dior's New Addict Lipstick Commercial

>> The 90-second spot of Kate Moss's commercial for the upcoming Dior Addict lipstick, which hits stores next month, has leaked.

>> The 90-second spot of Kate Moss's commercial for the upcoming Dior Addict lipstick, which hits stores next month, has leaked. Directed by Jonas Akerlund, who also did Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" music video, this film, too, centers somewhat on paparazzi: it starts with Kate Moss in a luxe hotel room before panning to her chauffeured car ride and the subsequent paparazzi scrum (which meets her as she exits to take in the Spring 2011 Dior show). Runway footage is included, but no John Galliano appearance, of course.
