Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi seems to have fallen in with the right crowd: the Karl Lagerfeld crowd.
He dressed her in Chanel all through the awards season earlier this year after she was Oscar nominated for her role in Babel, and now he's photographed her for the Chanel Cruise Accessories campaign. Rinko looks beautiful, and mysterious, and the same goes for those handbags she's holding — what do you think?

Meh.
1I love her hair!
2Meh, it's ok...but nothing too extraordinary.
3Rinko's gorgeous and her sense of style is something to admire; she definitely follows the beat of her own drum.
4I really like the ad and that bag...
5I like the mysteriousness of the pictures but eh, it's not what I would picture for a Chanel ad. I love the white bag.
6Agree with English Muffin here. I don't think that she has the chanel look. And the pictures are just ordinary and not glamour at all. I guess they used her to target a younger crowd..
7Yay Rinko! I think she looks beautiful.
8Rinko's cute, but these ads aren't doing anything for me.
9Exactly what Lizzard214 said.
10finally, an asian in a major ad campaign! it's about time given the fact many asians purchase high-end stuff like chanel.
11Nothing special.
12Gorgeous ad!
13I agree with haute77... but why choose her? She looks surprised all the time
14My luv for anything chanel is biased! She looks lovely
I am obsessed yes I am!!!
15i like it. it's edgy for Chanel. Karl knows what he's doing.
16I like it but I think models not actresses should be doing campaigns.
17She doesn't even look asian.
18WHy is only half her face shown in all these ads??!!
19looks like she got stuck at the train station. i guess she'll have to sell the bag to get home
20I love seeing an asian in an ad campaign, but I don't find anything about these photographs to be out of the ordinary. I don't care much for the bags either.
21Channel is the indisputable beauty... the other, NOT!
22i think they're beautiful, and a refreshing break from look-a-like models.
23i don't like the campaign, not the model but how it's shot
24I'm all for more Asians in high-profile ads but Rinko doesn't do anything for me. She looks pretty plain actually..
25why rinko kikuchi? (not that i don't like her or anythin.. it's just.. chanel and her.. is not quite a great match , in my opinion)
26I didn’t even recognize her at first... I am an amateur photographer so I think this is fresh and edgy-
I love Karl and Chanel no matter what so....
