Natalie Portman did her best to look like a glamorous diva on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie ‘Vox Lux’ during the 2018 Venice Film Festival at Sala Grande on Tuesday in Venice, Italy.

She was joined on the red carpet by director Brady Corbet and her co-stars Stacy Martin and Raffey Cassidy.

Unfortunately, the actress, film producer, and director ended up looking overwhelmed by her custom Gucci sequin long-sleeve gown that features a clashing crystal-embellished belt.

‘Vox Lux’ is an American musical drama film that premiered to a strangely polarized reaction. It will also screen at the 43rd Toronto International Film Festival.

Earlier the same day, Natalie also promoted the movie at a photocall. She stayed inside her comfort zone in a black cape dress from the Dior Cruise 2019 Collection and black ankle-strap sandals.
