The first figure Dior's protagonist comes across is herself — not a shock considering the meaning behind the High Priestess card. But she's not as ladylike, romantic, and decorated as she seems to us. She spots herself down a hall, dressed in a more masculine presentation with a perfectly tailored suit and cropped hair — but more on that later.
She's then greeted by Justice, who represents balance, choice, and cause and effect. This card reminds us that every action has a reaction, and not always an equal and opposite one. Justice indicates that the fairest decision will be made — this is the Libra card, after all. Justice (and Libra) seeks morality and accountability, and urges us (or those around us) to take responsibility. This card points to self-preservation, codes of ethics, and judgment; often, those grappling with right or wrong, or fair and unfair, know the answer deep inside. The Justice card also signifies karma; it typically speaks to the solid moral code of whoever pulls it. Deep down you know: all the good you put into the world comes back to you.
The high-neck, draped silk gown Chiuri chose for this character is fairly conservative and simple—for a reason. Justice and Libra are ruled by Venus; there is a consciousness of how one appears to others, and this card and sign place value in one’s worth and actions, in addition to what one wears. This card asks to be taken seriously; she’s not swayed by outer beauty when it comes to making a decision, even someone as the stunning lead character of the film, wearing Look 1 from the collection. In the film, Justice challenges the protagonist to make a decision, to choose — right or wrong — so she can weigh her choices.
