This Christmas, Dior Beauty turns up the lights, rolls out the red carpet (or should we say, the starry tent), and invites us all to the “Circus of Dreams”—a dazzling world inspired by Monsieur Christian Dior’s lifelong love of the circus.

“The circus is a never-ending source of inspiration,” shares Peter Philips, Dior’s Creative and Image Director for Makeup. “Its swirls of colours and sequins takes you back to a childhood world inhabited by magicians, trapeze artists and tightrope walkers performing for a wide-eyed audience.”

Leading the show are Dior’s muses Anya Taylor-Joy and Deva Cassel, who star in a campaign filled with golden lights, acrobats, and a sense of play that feels bold, beautiful, and a little bit nostalgic. Italian artist Pietro Ruffo brings the magic to life with his detailed illustrations of constellations, animals, and circus performers that now decorate Dior’s packaging, candles, and limited-edition cases.
