1. Natalie Portman Radiates in Dior Red Minidress & Jimmy Choo Minny Sandals
The 41-year-old actress typically goes for classic silhouettes that exude refined elegance. But for this promotional tour, it looks like she’s enjoying playing dress up, and it shows in her sartorial choices.
Natalie has recently been churning out outfits that showcase her fun and flirty side, like her shimmering Celine dress.
For the London screening, Natalie turned up the charm in a strapless red silk minidress from Dior. She channeled Mexican artist Frida Kahlo in a red floral headpiece that added a playful element to her look.

The Academy Award winner completed her look with a bold red lip, Anita Ko jewels, and a sleek, tight bun.
On her feet, she slipped into the iconic Jimmy Choo Minny sandals in red satin — a celebrity favorite design known for its minimalist, “barely there” straps, slender stiletto heel, and timeless versatility that makes it a staple on Hollywood red carpets.
Here are some of the most memorable celebrity moments in the iconic sandal:

2. Natalie & Tessa Channel “Clueless” Style in Plaid and Combat Boots
In her recent post on Instagram, Natalie shared a “clueless moment” with co-star Tessa Thompson at a press junket. They emulated iconic best friends Cher Horowitz and Dionne Davenport from the 1995 cult film Clueless.

Natalie wore a yellow-and-black plaid blazer and matching skirt – a look that’s synonymous with Alicia Silverstone’s Cher.
But while Cher wore hers with a white shirt and a yellow vest, Natalie opted for a black bandeau. She also ditched the white knee socks and white pumps, opting for full-on ’90s combat boots from Dr. Martens.
Meanwhile, Tessa offered a modern and more glammed-up take on the back-to-school outfit. She wore a Louis Vuitton Fall 2022 black pleated puffball skirt and black top layered over a white blouse. The 38-year-old actress completed her look with black tights and black slingback pumps.
3. Tessa Thompson Shines in Gold Oscar de la Renta & Stuart Weitzman Boots
Serving apocalyptic-chic, Tessa wore an Oscar de la Renta gold gown with draped beaded embellishments.

The thigh-high slit gave us a glimpse of her matching metallic gold Stuart Weitzman boots. Her long hair was styled in braids that resembled the beaded strands of the dress.
She rounded out her look with a choker, arm cuffs, statement rings, and nail art.

Her black fishnet tulle skeletal corset dress featured a draped design with an asymmetric skirt. The heaviness of the jacket balanced out the sultry elegance of the dress with its flirty exposed shoulder.
But it’s the unbothered attitude with the withering stare that truly sells this look.
