Natalie Portman's fiancé Benjamin Millepied is the face - and body - of Yves Saint Laurent's L'Homme Libre fragrance. Benjamin, 34, is a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet. YSL campaign photographer Patrick Demarchelier was able to capture Benjamin's graceful poses perfectly.

Renaud de Lesquen, President of YSL Beauté, said of the ballet dancer and choreographer, "Benjamin's unique style, his creative freedom, the positive energy he exudes and his dazzling charm won all our votes." Benjamin has said that he's "happy and proud" to be chosen to feature in the ad campaign. He described Yves Saint Laurent as "one of the world's most prestigious brands." In a statment he also praises the late designer himself, saying that Monsieur Saint Laurent was "a fashion genius, a lover of the Arts, he also knew how to use his talent to serve the art of dancing."
