The last time we saw Natalie Portman on the red carpet, she wore an unflattering dress that, unfortunately, gave her a matronly appearance. We’re thrilled that her latest red carpet look has restored the elegance we know and love in this stunning actress.

Natalie attended the New York Film Festival for the screening of Jackie in a loose-fitting black Dior dress. This classic look marked a significant improvement over her red Valentino dress in Venice.

While the black dress was simple, Natalie elevated the outfit with some gorgeous accessories, highlighting the importance of thoughtful styling.
