Actress Mila Kunis stars in a playful kitschy cover shoot for the Harper's Bazaar April 2012 issue that pictures the stunning actress in bubbly pastel fashion on a merry-go-round. The shoot is called 'The Good Bad Girl,' a perfect name for the recent Black Swan star, who related that persona in Darren Aronofsky's 2009 Oscar-winning film. Mila Kunis is the face of the [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-2024-campaign) spring campaign, and so was front row for this week's fall 2012 RTW show.

Mila Kunis was shot for the Harper's Bazaar April 2012 issue by famed celebrity photographer Terry Richardson.

'The Good Bad Girl' was styled by Harper's Bazaar US fashion editor Julia Von Boehm, who chose [looks by Dior and Marc Jacobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam), amongst other designers, for the shoot.
