"   Photo: Getty Images  Hollywood&amp;#039;s starlets could take a cue from Dior. Since the John Galliano fiasco rocked Paris amid fall&amp;#039;s 2011 shows, the company&amp;#039;s done its best to keep their head down. Sidney Toledano, the brand&amp;#039;s president, gave an appropriate speech at the show&amp;#039;s opening, the entire atelier took a bow, LVMH immediately released Galliano, canceled plans to launch a new fragrance and hasn&amp;#039;t caved to a single rumor. It doesn&amp;#039;t look like they&amp;#039;re in a rush to hire a Creative Director since the design team&amp;#039;s already working on both couture and SS12 (yikes!). And in another act of brilliant PR strategy, they&amp;#039;ll preview a couple of those dresses at the Cannes film festival next month. French actress Melanie Laurent will wear Dior to both the opening and closing of the festival which makes Dior look great, while also deflecting attention from the first Galliano-less collection. The dresses will premiere to lots of fanfare that has very little to do with fashion, instead of a crowd that&amp;#039;s dying for snippets of Dior related news, which should make the transition a bit less painful.
