Tiffany & Co. highlights HardWear alongside the ambassador
In the film, the actress is seen writing a letter to her young daughter while balancing life on camera, professional commitments and navigating everyday challenges in New York City, where the jeweler is based. The message tells the child how to build up her confidence and character through finding joy in the ordinary and by making personal progress through non-perfection.
Throughout the narrative, Ms. Portman dons earrings, necklaces and bracelets from the HardWear collection, each accompanying her on her own journey to self-acceptance.
“Strength appears in different ways throughout our lives – through courage, curiosity, compassion and joy,” said Ms. Portman, in a statement.
“It’s found in the thrill of growth and in the discovery of new dimensions within ourselves,” she said. “Mona and Brady have crafted a beautiful and meaningful film that reflects the experience I’ve had over the years and the journey that continues to shape who I am becoming.”

Tiffany & Co.’s latest marketing launch is set to an original, orchestral composition of the song “Moon River,” originally performed by actress Audrey Hepburn for the classic 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
The house also collaborated with Academy Award-winning Dutch-Swedish cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema on the advertisement, as the professional was behind the lens for the on-location shoot, capturing the scenes on 70mm film stock, much like major theatrical releases of the past, such as West Side Story, The Sound of Music and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
“Collaborating with Tiffany & Co. was an honor and a pleasure,” said Mr. Corbet and Ms. Fastvold, in a joint statement.
“We were drawn to the opportunity to create something aligned with their historic identity,” they said. “The film was shot on 70mm, a format that allowed us to reflect the brand’s craftsmanship with extraordinary fidelity.
“We’re grateful for the trust and care that made the collaboration possible.”
