Chopard knows all about dazzling diamonds. That’s why the heritage jewelry brand enlisted the help of iconJulia Roberts, whose famous smile alone personifies the company’s “Joie de Vivre” (“exuberant enjoyment of life”) motto, for its latest launch.
The actress, 53, was named the new face of the legendary Chopard collection earlier this week, telling PEOPLE exclusively the best part of shooting the corresponding campaign and short film with director Xavier Dolan and photographer Shayne Laverdiere was “how much fun we had doing it.”

The Happy Sport campaign — which marks the launch of two new Happy Sport watch models and a collection of Happy Diamonds and Happy Hearts jewelry underChopard’s Happy Diamonds line— embodies the luxury Swiss brand’s belief that “diamonds are happier when they are free.”
It captures thePretty Womanstar dancing for joy as she flashes her signature smile and puts her personality on full-display.
For Roberts, whose infectious spirit has been lighting up Hollywood since the early ’90s, “Pure happiness is the feeling one has when the people they love are happy.”
When asked what she learned about herself in the last year amid thecoronavirus pandemic, the star responds sweetly: “I do not mind staying home, but I really miss hugging.”
With the vaccine rolling out and the world slowly going back to normal, Roberts says she’s most looking forward to getting back to work.
“My next job has me working withSean Penn, which has always been a dream of mine,” she says.
