A Closer Look at Dior Beauty’s Circus of Dreams Holiday Collection

Step Into Dior’s Circus of Dreams.

For the festive season, Dior Beauty invites everyone under the starry tent of The Circus of Dreams—an enchanting celebration inspired by Monsieur Dior’s fascination with magic, wonder and performance. Designed in collaboration with Italian artist Pietro Ruffo, the collection’s whimsical motif depicts acrobats, trapeze artists and twinkling stars in shades of gold, silver and soft pink. Every piece from this year’s line evokes a sense of childlike joy and the grandeur of a couture spectacle.

 

 

Dior transforms the festive season into a grand performance with The Circus of Dreams—a collection that captures the joy, colour and wonder of the holidays.

 

The Malle des Rêves

At the heart of this year’s offering is La Malle des Rêves, Dior’s most coveted collector’s trunk. Reimagined as a couture dressing table, the numbered limited edition features 24 drawers filled exclusively with treasures from La Collection Privée and Dior couture accessories. Inside are exquisite fragrances, hair perfumes, a pair of earrings, a houndstooth Mitzah scarf, and a new “Piste aux Étoiles” candle—a creation by Francis Kurkdjian that captures the sweet scent of caramelised almonds and cotton candy. A Dior snow globe crowns the final drawer, completing this year’s magical curation.

L’Or de J’adore Music Box

A new L’Or de J’adore music box joins the celebration, unfolding into a miniature circus scene where acrobats and animals revolve around the Dior star. Playing a joyful tune, it captures the magic of Dior’s most luminous fragrance in an unforgettable, collectable form.

 

The “Piste aux Étoiles” Candle

Francis Kurkdjian’s exclusive candle returns as a hero piece, enveloping interiors in the nostalgic warmth of sweet circus treats. Its delicately illustrated casing adds to its charm, making it a fitting centrepiece for the season’s celebrations.

 

Carrying the festive spirit into beauty, Dior’s make-up collection—imagined by Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior Makeup—captures the joy and artistry of the Circus of Dreams. Each creation blends glamour with a touch of fantasy and is gilded in gold.
