Since taking up the baton from Edwina McCann as Vogue Australia editor-in-chief, Christine Centenera has flexed the ability to drop covers featuring a plethora of A-list talent. Names like Sarah Snook, Anna Sawai, Troye Sivan, and Margaret Qualley have fronted the Aussie fashion bible over recent months. Next up on the cover of Vogue Australia is Natalie Portman. Lachlan Bailey was called upon to capture the Israeli-American actress, with Centenera herself on styling duties for the shoot. For the official print cover (below), Portman gazes down Bailey’s lens wearing a look from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Spring 2025 Christian Dior collection (as a brand ambassador, obviously). In the alternative digital cover (after the jump), the “Fountain of Youth” star poses in a laced LaQuan Smith look and jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Natalie Portman for Vogue Australia May 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love the portrait cover, Natalie looks gorgeous,” raved fauxfashion upon checking out the covers.

“OK, they did my girl Natalie Portman good,” Summer Day approved.

WAVES declared: “The best Australian Vogue cover in YEARS! Natalie looks so good!”

“Oh, this is good,” confessed Lucien112.

“The portrait cover is beautiful. And I appreciate she’s not styled to look inappropriately young with an edgy haircut, silly makeup, and ragged street style like mags sometimes do with 30+ year old actresses. Portman is a beautiful 40+ year old woman, and that’s worth celebrating,” commended woemwoem.

“She looks great. Very assertive, attuned to herself and organic. Stripped back but still in control,” added forum member Cocteau Stone.

“Absolutely gorgeous coloring and lighting, just as I have come to expect from Lachlan Bailey. He’s an absolute master of these earthy tones that I just love so much, and he always captures his subjects so beautifully. One of the strongest Vogue covers of the month,” voiced vogue28.

Natalie Portman brought class and elegance to the red carpet at the 2024 Ballon d’Or France Football Awards ceremony in Paris. The actor slipped into a plunging velvet gown which demanded a double take as it included several subtle details. The tailoring of Portman’s ensemble was Greek goddess-coded with a gothic twist.

Natalie Portman arrived at the 2024 Ballon d’Or France Football Awards in a stunning navy velvet gown. The floor-length piece features a deep plunging neckline and includes draping short sleeves. The dress is further enhanced with a rope-like knotted belt around the waist, cascading down to the hem. The gown also featured subtle ruched detailing on the shoulder and a small section on the waistline, beneath the belt loops.

In a video shared by Ballon d’Or on X (formerly Twitter), the actor is seen making a grand entrance at the event. The clip also gives a glimpse of the back of Portman’s flowing gown, which was equally glamorous. The gown’s draping came done on the back of the shoulders with thin straps, leaving the sides bare. The behind of the gown also featured a huge V-shaped cutout.

The loose and daring bodice resembled a Greco-Roman dress. Meanwhile, the navy blue velvety tone added a gothic element to the ensemble. Moreover, the star also sported a black manicure. Portman continued to accentuate the look with huge flower-shaped silver rings and matching earrings. Besides that, the actor styled her bob hair in soft curls.

At the awards ceremony, Portman arrived on stage to congratulate Aitana Bonmatí for the 2024 Women’s Ballon d’Or. Later, the two also posed backstage for a photo together. Portman was spotted with several other icons in football, including Luís Figo.

On September 24, Natalie Portman rocked an outfit inspired by the medieval period at the Dior PFW show. The “Black Swan” star wore a look straight off the Dior Cruise 2025 runway. The all-black set incorporated chainmail elements for the medieval touch. Natalie Portman’s Paris Fashion Week fit also had Scottish influence, which was highlighted through heritage prints.

Natalie Portman goes for Scottish elegance for PFW

The star-studded Dior PFW show on Tuesday also saw the attendance of veteran actor Natalie Portman, who showed up in an entirely black ensemble. The fit was all-Dior and part of the Cruise 2025 collection. The flared skirt had a medieval touch to it thanks to the embellishments that made it look like it was made of chainmail material.

The actor paired it with a black jacket with puffy sleeves and corset detailing running down the middle. A combination of buckles, belts, and zippers added texture to the front of the jacket, with the lace-up element continuing the medieval theme.

Natalie Portman’s Paris Fashion Week outfit was further elevated with a matching pair of boots with eye-catching silver buckle detailing. The footwear choice was also borrowed from the Dior runway look. She wrapped up the all-black ensemble with a minimalistic pendant choker necklace that brought together the entire fit.

For the Dior Cruise 2025 collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri took inspiration from Clare Hunter’s “Embroidering Her Truth: Mary Queen of Scots and the Language of Power.” As per WWD, the collection featured tartan designs of Scottish origin and chainmail-like fabric, much like the outfit Natalie Portman opted for. Chiuri also took inspiration from medieval figures like Mary, Queen of Scots.

Portman has previously donned pieces from the same collection, sporting a dress made entirely of chainmail-like material just last week. Both looks shared some resemblance, as they both featured similar fabric and dramatic puffy sleeves. However, the floor-length dress had some gorgeous embroidery at the front that made it stand out from the rest.

OK, so we admit that L’Officiel doesn’t take our fancy on the regular, here at theFashionSpot. After all, the world of print fashion media is a saturated market – and growing steadily. So many magazines, so little time (and we aren’t complaining). L’Officiel Paris attempts to generate themselves some buzz with the unveiling of it’s Spring 2024 cover star, and have ultimately succeeded. Give it up for Natalie Portman, who poses for famed German photographer Ellen von Unwerth for the occasion, captured on location throughout the Paris apartment of Vincent Darré. Complete with styling from Giulio Martinelli, the A-list Hollywood talent wears a black lace dress from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Spring 2024 collection for Christian Dior (to which Portman is brand ambassador) in the fun and flirty cover image.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Are these some unpublished images saved in her folder for years?” asked MDNA.

“I love Natalie Portman but this is a… NO!” fauxfashion exclaimed.

Ihhbl commented: “Despite all these colors, it looks lifeless!”

“Is this a joke? Photography, styling, everything. If I were Nathalie Portman, I would leave the set after the first picture,” shrieked forum member ah ah.

“Oh my god, the photography is so bad it hurts the eyes. Awful,” complained philophile.

Vogue28 wasn’t buying it either, ranting: “Always completely loathed Ellen von Unwerth’s style of photography, so I’m programmed to instantly dislike anything Unwerth-related.”

“I don’t hate it but I wish Ellen von Unwerth produced better stuff more consistently. It’s like she’s on autopilot nowadays,” chimed in thenewclassic.

Last night (in addition to the 2024 PGA Awards), the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards took place down on Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. Celebrating the best of indie film and TV, the star-studded red carpet was more of a mellow affair as opposed to the high-glamour of the 2024 Golden Globes. Thanks to the relaxed dress code, fun jumpsuits, two-pieces and even some red-carpet socks were on full display. Emma Corrin’s look made for a serious style moment, arriving dressed in a pair of statement lime green socks, teamed with a little black dress from Miu Miu (a custom creation inspired by Miuccia Prada’s Spring 1998 collection). Natalie Portman wore a hand-crafted red leather ensemble from Balmain while Greta Lee (never failing to make a best-dressed list) donned a white sculptural dress from Lii.

Awards season is officially in full swing, and with such an occasions comes Vanity Fair‘s annual Hollywood issue. First launched in 1995, the publication just unveiled its 30th annual installment of the highly-anticipated issue for March 2024. Radhika Jones champions Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Jodie Comer, Lily Gladstone, Greta Lee, Charles Melton, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan as cover stars for the occasion. The selection of Hollywood stars poses for filmmaker and photographer Gordon von Steiner, and were styled by George Cortina throughout the sleek portfolio.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s not my favorite Hollywood cover of Vanity Fair,” shared aracic the moment the cover struck.

“Making the cover of Vanity Fair‘s Hollywood issue… when the money’s no longer there,” chimed in an underwhelmed tigerrouge.

Also not exactly starstruck by the outcome was Marc10: “It literally looks like those photos they take backstage at award shows. Zero effort put into this. And it’s bad enough that the guys usually go for the boring black suits on the red carpet, but here too? Come on…”

“Everything is too cold and not very harmonious,” critiqued Ivanity86.

However, not everyone was left dissatisfied. “I am very much a fan of this! I’m able to appreciate how simple, clean and direct the cover image is. There’s zero signs of any weird Photoshop, and each of the subjects featured appear to have been photographed and styled beautifully,” defended vogue28.

And so the 2024 awards season has officially begun! Last night, Hollywood stars descended upon the iconic Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards. Stars like Margot Robbie dazzled in sequined Giorgio Armani Privé (channeling Barbie, because what else?), Taylor Swift shone bright in custom lime green Gucci while the living legend that is Meryl Streep walked the red carpet in a shimmering Dolce & Gabbana floor-length skirt and jacket. Selena Gomez had somewhat of a mini Marilyn Monroe moment before the lens of the paparazzi, wearing a ruby red dress and the even the warm Los Angeles wind understood the assignment when Hunter Schafer arrived in custom translucent Prada. Elsewhere, Jennifer Lopez nailed old-school Hollywood glamour while Elle Fanning took deep in the Balmain archives to unearth and revive a vintage Pierre Balmain dress.

As editor of W Magazine, Sara Moonves has made the magazine’s ‘Best Performances’ issues into a bit of a thing. Since 2021 when the annual edition first made its official appearance, issues have been photographed by an array of celebrated photographers including Juergen Teller, Tim Walker and Jamie Hawkesworth. Moonves welcomes back Teller with open arms for W‘s 2024 portfolio, bestowing upon us an assortment of 13 covers featuring a whole bevy of A-list talent. In each of the covers Margot Robbie, Nicolas Cage, Greta Lee, Zac Efron, Natalie Portman, Colman Domingo, Jodie Foster, Ryan Gosling, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Julianne Moore, Lily Gladstone, Charles Melton and Robert Downey Jr. pose before Teller’s lens around various different Hollywood locations.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Honestly, not sure what to think of these…” shared Ivancica the moment the covers dropped.

“These are all depressing to look at. Juergen even managed to make Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling look lifeless,” chimed in gunsnroses.

Also left severely disappointed was forum member lookatme, commenting: “Tragic. This kind of photography and concept is so embarrassing. OMG SO QUIRKED UP! THEY’RE IN A TRASHY SOUVENIR SHOP! HE’S HOLDING A LOBSTER! OMG!”

Xone felt the same way: “Teller needs a better direction, there is nothing interesting here – too pretentious!”

“These best performances issues by Juergen Teller (and everyone else) are the absolute worst when it comes to Sara Moonves’ W Magazine! Not one, not ONE redeeming cover and this is one of those occasions in which I cannot abide Teller’s photography or aesthetic. Major… UGH!” ranted vogue28.

We’re patiently awaiting the impending glitz and glamour of Sunday’s Golden Globes broadcast. Although it’s definitely going to look different than previous years thanks to the pandemic. We decided there’s no better time to look back at the best looks to ever grace the show’s red carpet. From Marilyn Monroe’s sparkly gown in the early 60s to Lupita Nyong’o and Cate Blanchett’s impressive showings. There’s certainly lots to love. Especially since the Golden Globes honors both film and television. Which means the red carpet is always jam-packed with fashion goodness.

Check out the slideshow to reveal all the Golden Globes gowns that grabbed our attention.
