Natalie Portman is ethereal in a strapless dress with watercolor flowers – Harper’s BAZAAR

Natalie Portman was the embodiment of elegance as she sat front row at Dior’s couture show.

The Oscar-winner arrived at the French fashion house’s Fall 2023 couture show on Monday wearing a beautiful strapless dress with a floral pattern painted in watercolor on a white satin fabric. The piece has a subtle sweetheart neckline and a matching tie belt at the waist that runs into a breezy, mid-length skirt.

She completed the ensemble with a pair of ankle strap sandals and a small ivory bag, and carried an array of fine jewelry including dangling earrings and a statement ruby ​​earring. The star wore her hair slightly curled with a middle parting, complemented by a subtle smoky eye and a glossy pink lip.

The Jackie actress has been a Dior ambassador and the face of Miss Dior perfume for over a decade and has collaborated with the brand on several sophisticated red carpet looks. At the 2023 Cannes Film Festival last May, the star attended the premiere of her film “May December” in a recreation of Christian Dior’s famous Junon dress, originally designed in 1949.

The gown featured a strapless ivory bodice embellished with sequins and a ballgown skirt made from layers of white silk tulle petals, covered with intricate blue beading and embroidery to create an ombré effect reminiscent of delicate scales. Portman continued to focus on the standout dress, wearing her hair in a neat bun and minimally complementing it with a pair of diamond earrings.
