Channeling vintage glamour with a modern twist, Portman dazzled in a black-and-silver Dior gown inspired by the maison’s 1951 couture collection.
Cannes | May 17, 2025 — Natalie Portman turned heads at the 78th Cannes Film Festival as she graced the red carpet in a breathtaking recreation of an archival Christian Dior couture gown. The Oscar-winning actress, 43, served up a striking blend of old-Hollywood elegance and contemporary shimmer in a piece that paid homage to Dior’s 1951 Fall/Winter collection.
This isn’t Portman’s first time embracing vintage Dior for the prestigious festival. In 2023, she paid tribute to the brand’s 1949 legacy with another historically inspired couture look — proving her unwavering commitment to timeless style.
