This or that?: Spot on, from Paris to New York
Natalie Portman is a natural beauty who never fails to add a touch of refinement with a dash of poise to red carpet
Undoubtedly, Natalie Portman is a natural beauty. The starlet never fails to add a touch of refinement with a dash of poise to the red carpet. The actor made certain she put on a cultured display for the premieres of her film, Jane Got A Gun, in Paris and New York — dazzling in shee, lacy ensembles on both occasions.
Paris
Hair and make-up:
Channelling her inner Goth to its full potential, the Black Swan stunner sported a dark smoky eye colour with her lengthy lashes on full show. Going modest on the make-up, she nailed the au naturel luminescent glow, with an understated-pink lipstick. Natalie swayed elegantly in pulled-back hair with loose strands framing her structured face. Yummy mummy!
Outfit:
Confirming that all the glares were targeted at her, the 34-year-old actor cut a striking figure in a deftly designed Dior dress that comprised a mesh overlay covering, lacey neck and sleeves. The jet outfit boasted a floral pattern and a cinched waist design that accentuated her slender middle. The floor-kissing hemline only added to the swoon-worthy ensemble.
Celebrity sightings: Suit up and look suave
Accessories:
Adding to her glamour quotient, the No Strings Attached star gripped onto a small crimson-black boxed clutch that highlighted an elusive bejewelled red poppy on the clasp. Paying close attention to detail, she chose to bling up with a pair of delicate silver drop down earrings — subtle, but so noteworthy!
New York
Hair and make-up:
Styling her chestnut tresses into a classic chignon, the Knight of Cups beauty polished up her look with a marsala-hued lipstick and precisely defined eye brows. Keeping the rest of her makeup basic, Natalie bordered her hazel eyes with a slick of mascara; tallying up with a sweep of sharp contouring, a bit of matte powder and a gentle trace of blusher.
Outfit:
Sliding effortlessly into a retro black gown that exhibited vibrant embroidery and delicate needlework, Natalie was a sight for sore eyes. The sheer, short sleeved number paraded a high neckline and a floor-skimming flowy skirt. Epitomising her take on old-school glamour, Natalie made this vintage look stand out.
Accessories
Oozing charm and a flair for minimalist fashion, the Oscar-winner let her heavily embroidered outfit do all the talking and sported no trinkets or accessories whatsoever. Carrying the same satin box clutch as she had at the Paris premiere, this humble star proved that she’s all that! One thing’s for sure: Natalie is back and looking better than ever.
