Marion Cotillard looks absolutely divine as the cover model for the W December 2012 issue. Dressed mainly in blacks and reds, the Parisian beauty looks perfect sporting a stunning [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-2024-campaign) [Haute Couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haute-couture) belted cashmere coat.

Marillion closely resembles an updated and [haute couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup) version of the Queen of Hearts from the beloved classic Alice in Wonderland. Though, with a mix of black leather thigh highs and patent leather body suits, Cotillard play a much more R rated version. The backdrop is set in the queens cherished rose garden and costars an insidious looking guard, which adds to the overall dark theme of the spread.

With a mix of sultry, luxury and perfection, the W December 2012 issue easily captivates curious onlookers and fashion mavens alike.
