EXCLUSIVE: Dior Taps Animation Director Sylvain Chomet for 2026 Holiday Campaign

The short film features voiceovers by a star-studded cast including Rihanna, Robert Pattinson, Josh O’Connor and Greta Lee.

PARIS — Jonathan Anderson is bringing his love of animation to Dior’s holiday campaign.

The French fashion house has tapped Oscar-nominated French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet to direct a short film inspired by founder Christian Dior’s friendship with film star Marlene Dietrich.

The whimsical story, titled “Christian Dior’s Night in Color,” is narrated by longtime brand ambassador Robert Pattinson and will be unveiled Wednesday across Dior’s online platforms.

It features the voices of Rihanna as The Lucky Star, a house emblem; Louis Garrel as Dior, and Camille Cottin as Dietrich. Rounding out the star-studded cast are Josh O’Connor, LaKeith Stanfield, Greta Lee, Nine d’Urso and Nadia Tereszkiewicz.

Chomet, best known for his features “The Triplets of Belleville” and “The Illusionist,” wove a narrative set the night before Christmas that focuses on the magic of the haute couture workshops in Paris and Dior’s relationship with Hollywood — a theme that also inspired Anderson’s cruise 2027 collection presented in Los Angeles in May.

“The first time I encountered Sylvain Chomet’s work was when I was at university and saw ‘The Triplets of Belleville,’ which I have loved ever since. The film we’ve created together for Dior is all hand-drawn using techniques that go back to the 1940s,” Anderson said in a statement.

“It’s full of Sylvain’s signature charm — which is perfect for this time of year. I hope everyone loves watching it as much as we enjoyed making it,” added the designer.
