MARION COTILLARD hits the silver-screen this summer as Miranda Tate, a board member Wayne Enterprises and love interest of Bruce Wayne (aka Batman, duh) in "The Dark Knight Rises", the third and final film in the Christopher Nolan-directed franchise for 'The Caped Crusader'. But before the beautiful French actress graces our cinemas, she's taking over the newsstands as the cover gal for the August issue of American VOGUE. Fashion editor Tonne Goodman styled the actress in a violet velvet Ralph Lauren Collection for the cover, which was lens by Peter Lindbergh. Stéphane Marais kept her make-up subtle enough to merely enhance her natural beauty while hairstylist Orlando Pita gathered her long dark locks into a wind-blown low ponytail. In the issue, Marion is featured in a slew of dark and romantic looks from Fall/Winter 2012 Ready-to-Wear, including Alexander McQueen and Burberry Prorsum, as she opens up about working on the final Batman film while raising her infant son Marcel Canet. "She gave birth and was back on set almost immediately," says Nolan. "She's Superwoman." Let's take a look at those clothes!
