“My first memory of Chanel No 5 is the Nicole Kidman ad directed by Baz Luhrmann,” the siren shared with Vogue magazine.

“I was probably 14 and Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge movie was so big.

“I remember the commercial so vividly. And because Nicole is Australian, it gave me that first burst of like, ‘Oh, maybe those dreams are within reach. Someone else from my country did. Maybe I can too.”

She went on to talk about the use of the color red in her own Chanel No5 ad, in which she stars alongside fellow Australian Jacob Elordi.

Margot said: “There is something inherently passionate and strong about the color red.

“There is also a real strength in this fragrance. When I think of the type of woman who could wear Chanel No 5, I think she is powerful, she has desires.”

Margot previously admitted she was delighted to be joining the ‘Chanel family’ by becoming the face of the iconic fragrance.

She told WWD: “I’ve always known about Chanel No.5… It’s iconic and an iconic brand. It’s what you always associate with absolute luxury.

“At least that’s how I always felt about Chanel. Now I’m in the Chanel family; I associate it with more personal memories and things I’ve gotten to do.”

And she said that these days she “strives” to achieve “the beauty of the French girl”.

The Barbie actress has admitted she struggles to create a “put-together” look, instead leaning towards trends in her native Australia that are more “casual”.

She told Vogue: “In Australia, we like effortless beauty, but in a casual way.

“I think the beauty of French girls is also simple, but in a more combined way. It’s hard to achieve, but I think that’s what we’re all striving for.”
