Natalie Portman is a longtime role model to us all, partly because of her ethereal fashion sense, but also due to the brains behind her beauty. Unlike many acclaimed celebs, Portman briefly set her acting career on the back burner to get a degree at Harvard. We love that Portman is a triple threat of brains, talent and beauty and that her chic and polished fashion sense is simply the cherry on the cake to her entire persona. Portman rarely disappoints on the red carpet and has proven to take risks that always end successfully. Her petite and ballerina-like frame was made for fashion and has caused designers to flock towards her requesting to don their latest creation. Follow along for Portman’s style evolution throughout the years — from her early teenage roles, to her Black Swan debut and even her iconic maternity style:
Premiere of Mars Attacks! — 1996
Similar to other celebrities who appeared on the red carpet at a young age, Portman definitely had a few red carpet misses during her early years in Hollywood. At just 15 years old, Portman stepped out at the Mars Attacks! premiere wearing an entirely emerald green ensemble. It’s clear that her youthful complexion is still elegant and beautiful even in her early teens, but we unfortunately can’t say the same for this monochrome color palette. Hopefully we can write off this Mr.Grinch-inspired outfit to Portman simply being young and naive.
