Natalie Portman has done it all in Hollywood: she’s been a Marvel hero and Star Wars queen, but also an award winner for roles as varied as “traumatized ballerina” to First Lady. It’s no surprise, then, that with decades of red carpet experience under her (often Dior) belt, Portman has found her perfect style groove. The actor always manages to strike a balance between a romantic vision of Hollywood glamour and power. She loves nothing more than to make a statement on the red carpet, and she’s certainly not afraid to take risks, especially doing so with an appreciation of embellished gowns. Below, take a peek back at Portman’s best red carpet moments from over the years.
