pretty pictures: marion cotillard in elle france

This Sunday evening I've decided to share a fun fact about me: I think Marion Cotillard is this generation's Audrey Hepburn.  I know that this sought after statement has been claimed about many different actresses but I just feel it's MC.  Why?  Because she is not just classically beautiful but also perfectly quirky.  She is intelligent, talented, witty, endearing beyond words.  Perhaps saying she is our Audrey is too much because Audrey is too unique to be replicated (although some very talented models/stylists/photographers have done a decent job trying to capture her essence - exhibit A); regardless, Marion is timeless.  I just love her.  And I just love her in this editorial from the August Elle France :

happy, energetic, quirky, natural, all-in-all lovely.
