Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, and Charli XCX Wear Dior, Le Silla, and Marni Shoes at ‘The Gallerist’ Sundance Premiere

Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, and Charli XCX made a striking appearance at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of their dark comedy thriller, The Gallerist, stepping out in coordinated neutral looks. The color palette tied them together while still showing each of their personalities.

Portman kept things classic in a brown Dior coat, Ortega embraced a sharper and more modern look in Mugler, and Charli brought a laid-back, cool-girl vibe in Simon Carle. Though they all stuck to similar neutral tones, each still felt different, making the three stand out without looking too coordinated.

The Gallerist, written and directed by Cathy Yan, centers on gallerist Polina Polinski, played by Portman, as she prepares for a major Art Basel debut.

When social media influencer Dalton Hardberry (Zach Galifianakis) dies in an accident inside her gallery just before the opening, Polina makes a shocking decision to cover it up by presenting the body as a hyperrealist art installation.

With the help of her assistant Kiki, played by Ortega, the two attempt to sell the piece while racing against time and the very real problem of a decaying corpse. Charli XCX appears as Dalton’s influencer girlfriend.

Quiet Luxury: Natalie Portman Grounds the Neutral Moment in a Dior Coat and Black Pointed-Toe Pumps

As a long-standing Dior ambassador, it felt only right to see Natalie Portman in a Dior look, and I loved how understated yet sophisticated her choice was.

She wore a coat with a rich, tweedy texture that added depth, while the sharp black peaked lapels created a striking contrast that instantly sharpened the silhouette. The double-breasted front, finished with black buttons and classic flap pockets, kept the coat clean and polished, and the mid-calf length helped balance the proportions, giving the overall look a refined finish.

Natalie wore the coat buttoned through the evening, so we only caught glimpses of what was underneath, but it was clear she paired it with a simple black turtleneck. Down below, a pair of black slim-fit trousers continued the clean line of her look, with black tights layered underneath to keep things cohesive and practical for the cool weather.

Subtle Statements: Natalie Portman’s ICE Out Pin, Tiffany Jewelry, and Polished Finishing Touches

One detail that stood out right away was the “ICE Out” pin on her lapel, worn in support of immigrant rights.

For jewelry, Natalie wore the $4,300 Knot Ring in 18k white gold, set with 0.14-carat round brilliant diamonds, inspired by a padlock from the Tiffany Archives dating back to 1883. She added a second Knot ring, this one inspired by an archival bow crafted in 1889, priced at $3,300 and set with 0.05 carats of diamonds. She completed her jewelry with the Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Sixteen Stone Ring, adding extra sparkle to her understated outfit.

Natalie wore her hair straight and applied minimal makeup to highlight her natural features. Her lipstick and eye makeup complemented the ensemble’s elegant tone, keeping everything effortless and fresh.

Her black suede pointed-toe pumps were the perfect choice for the look. Their slim, elongated toes matched the clean lines of her coat and trousers, while the soft suede finish kept them understated.

Modern Tailoring: Jenna Ortega Sharpens Neutrals in a Mugler Skirt Set and Le Silla Pumps

Jenna Ortega went for a sleek, sculpted aesthetic with a camel-and-beige Mugler Spring 2026 ensemble. It included a fitted beige top, tailored to perfection, that hugged her frame and accentuated her tiny waist.

It was fully buttoned up to the collar, which gave the look a neat, polished finish, while the long camel sleeves with beige cuffs added subtle contrast. The slight puff at the shoulders, accented with darker ruffled satin, broke up the clean lines and added texture to the design.

A slim belt in the same camel tone cinched her in even further, reflecting Mugler’s signature sculpted silhouette. What caught my attention was the suspender-like detail, similar to a lingerie garter belt, which seemed to hold the pencil midi skirt in place and added an unexpected edge to the tailored look.

The skirt sat low on her hips and skimmed her figure, giving the classic tailoring a slightly edgy twist.

Finishing Touches: Minimal Jewelry, Signature Beauty, and Le Silla d’Orsay Pumps

Ortega kept her accessories minimal, adding just a few rings and subtle earrings for a touch of sparkle. She then wore her dark hair down, falling smoothly over her shoulders, though part of me wished it had been pulled back to show off the top’s shoulder details fully.

Her makeup stayed true to her signature style, with bare brows, bold lashes, softly smoked eyes, and a glossy, rosy-red lip that brought warmth to the look.

To finish, Jenna slipped into a pair of camel Le Silla pumps with a glossy sheen. The d’Orsay cut revealed the natural curve of her foot, while the low vamp showed her toe cleavage. They also featured ankle straps that secured the shoes in place and slim stiletto heels that gave her 5’1” frame extra height.

Cool-Girl Edge: Charli XCX Disrupts the Neutral Palette With a PVC Poncho and Marni Heels

Charli XCX kept things surprisingly simple, but what stood out to me was how she played with layering and texture. She wore a nude bodycon tank dress from Simon Carle’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection that skimmed her waist and hips, tracing her hourglass shape. Its hem sat high above her thighs, giving the look a sultry edge and drawing attention to her toned legs.

The dress itself was simple, but what made the look interesting was the clear PVC poncho layered over it. It’s not something we usually see on the red carpet, and while it resembled a raincoat, that unexpected choice made it stand out.

The transparency let the dress’s simplicity show through, while the hood added a utilitarian feel. At the same time, the white doily lace trim along the hem softened the plastic material and added a quirky contrast.

Minimal Accessories, Bare Beauty, and Industrial-Edge Marni Heels

Charli kept her accessories simple, skipping earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in favor of just a single ring from Claude Morady. She wore her raven hair down and kept her makeup very minimal, which matched the overall laid-back feel of the look.

While her poncho instantly caught my eye, her shoes stood out just as much. She wore a pair from Marni’s Fall 2024 collection with semi-transparent tan uppers that mirrored the PVC texture of the poncho.

They featured pointed toes that sharpened the look, while their chunky heels and lug soles gave the shoes a heavier, industrial feel. They weren’t as delicate as her dress, but that contrast worked, adding an edge that felt very Charli.

How These Neutral Red Carpet Looks Reflect 2026’s Shoe & Style Direction

While Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, and Charli XCX each brought their own perspective to coordinated neutrals, their footwear choices echoed a much broader shift shaping 2026 fashion.

From sharp pointed-toe pumps and sculptural heels to hybrid silhouettes and awards-season statements, these looks align closely with the shoe trends already defining the year ahead.
