Mila Kunis Signs On For Christian Dior Ad Campaign (PHOTOS)

The ultimate sign you've made it from B-list TV actress to A-list movie star: a Christian Dior contract.

Mila Kunis has been signed to the French brand for a new campaign, reports Women's Wear Daily, that will debut later in January. Shot by photographer Mikael Jansson, the softly-lit photos will debut first in European magazines like international Elle and Vogue editions and by January 29 in U.S. publications like the New York Times and Vanity Fair.

It's a big step up for Mila, who became famous from "That '70s Show" but made the A-list for her role in "Black Swan." The Ukrainian-born actress has but a few ad campaigns under her belt, including ads for a Kohl's-sold makeup line called FLIRT!

Now she will join major actresses like Marion Cotillard as a Dior face. Cotillard has been shilling for Miss Dior handbags for years, most recently in a sassy short film called "L.A.dy Dior."

Another fellow Dior gal? Natalie Portman, Kunis' "Black Swan" co-star. Portman was signed by Parfums Christian Dior in 2010 and posed for Miss Dior Cherie perfume and Diorskin makeup ads, among others.

It was thought that she might sever her ties with the French fashion house after John Galliano's anti-Semitic incident back in early 2011; at the time, Portman publicly stated, "In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way."

But once Dior dropped Galliano, Portman presumably felt fine sticking with the brand. Now she's got a friend on board in Kunis, whose ads you can preview below.

Ever since Mila Kunis came to Justin Timberlake (her co-star) defense against a pushy reporter and surprised every one by doing so in Russian, she's had my vote. A lovely girl who seems to be as lovely inside.

Stunningly beautiful girl and she did a great job in 'Black Swan' and the little rom-com, 'Friends with Benefits'. I think she'll have a good long career. But these photos of her don't do her justice, IMHO.

Now that Natalie Portman won't have anything more to do with their company, they are keeping with the Black Swan trend. Second best is better than nothing, I guess.

Photoshoped beyond recognition. The real Mila is truly beautiful.... Since they've hired her why not leaving her face alone?

She's naturally gorgeous but I don't think these photos have captured her face at the most flattering angles.

Gorgeous photos. Just beautiful. I'm sure she'll do well selling Dior products.

Her beauty is stunning and reaches right through the camera.

I love how she doesn't have the same cookie cutter features most actresses do. One of the reasons why she's so pretty is because you can't go to the plastic surgeon and buy her face.

Gorgeous! I've been a fan since she was Jackie, but the more interviews I see the more I like. She's funny and real.
