Christian Dior yesterday presented sulphurous Hollywood actress Sharon Stone as the face of its new Capture Totale line, set to launch in the spring of next year. The Oscar-winning beauty joined Parfums Christian Dior ceo Claude Martinez at LVMH's Paris headquarters yesterday to make the announcement in front of an international press gathering attended by over 250 journalists

No details on the Capture Totale line have been released. "She's not chasing her 20s because she knows her age is sexy," said Martinez of Stone, who sat next to him, decked out in a ruby velvet Dior dress. This is Stone's first deal with a beauty brand.
