Thanks to Violette of tFS , outtakes from the editorial feature in the November 2007 Elle France issue have been added to the gallery. According to Violette, the magazine spread features an extensive interview, but she was unable to scan it. Unfortunately, the image quality and size isn’t that grand, and only 3 individual shots have been added. However, they’re still gorgeous, and show off a slightly different side of Mélanie. Again, a huge thanks to Violette for finding these, and hopefully magazine scans will be donated soon enough!

Wow, wow, wow everyone… do I ever have a treat for you all!! Upon glancing over some Mélanie pictures, I spotted a brand new shoot (to my eyes at least). It seems, sometime last year, Mélanie was featured in the celebrity-filled magazine “Télérama”. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I’m going to get my hands on this magazine but the outtakes our now officially in our gallery archive. Mélanie looks beyond stunning in this set, leaving her look very casual and very much her own style and her bright blue eyes pop out underneath her blonde bangs, and light blue background. You must, must check out these images. Remember, if you an unregistered user, looking to gain access into the gallery you must write us at contact@melanielaurent.net requesting an account.

Since there’s not a lot of new information or media right now, I thought now was the best time to collect some older images that we don’t have. First order on the list, was some more stills from Mélanie’s February 2008 appearance on “Vivement Dimanche”, where she promoted the then upcoming film “La Chambre des Morts”. Happy browsing, visitors!

Since Mélanie is busy at work, and there’s a bit of downtown now that Paris is in theatres, I decided to clean up the gallery and video archive. I was a bit shocked to see the amount of spam in both archives. I deleted over 1000 comments and removed around 200 users. The spam problem is getting out of hand, and I really don’t have the time to manually clean up everything day by day. So, for now, open registration is closed for the gallery and video archive. If you wish to become a member, you must send an email to contact@melanie-laurent.net, with the subject line “Gallery and/or Video Registration” and your desired username listed in the email. Simple emails just listing the username will not be accepted (please take the time to write a little extra, showing me you’re not a generated bot), and I’ll filter as I see fit. I don’t know how long I will be able to manually set up accounts, but requests will last for as long as I can handle it. Sorry for any inconvenience!

I woke up to a great surprise this morning! My dear friend Chloé scanned the March 2008 issue of Citizen K, which features a 2 page interview inside, as well as 2 editorial pages. Unfortunately, I can’t translate the article, but if anyone can, just drop me a line a contact@melanielaurent.net . Now, check out the gorgeous set in our gallery, now!

Thanks to the incredibly talented Mikaela, IML’s gallery archive has a brand-spankin’ new look!! The layout features the newly found image from 2004′s Elle Magazine (again, a huge thanks to my dearest friend Maria for scanning that for us!). I’m sure I’m not alone when I say, that this new gallery layout is gorgeous, and a breath of fresh air. Make sure you check out the new look, and visit Mikaela’s design site for any future design site needs!

Just a small update today, everyone. I made an update to the “The Years” section of the site. Now, you can get a quick run-through of Mélanie circa 2005, and her achievement’s from that year.

Old production stills from “Le Dernier Jour” (co-starring the very famous, French actor Gaspard Ulliel) have finally be added to the gallery. In total, there are three images, the first two being high quality. Make sure you check out these production photos from Mélanie’s 2004 break-out role! Click the thumbnails below to access the images.
