A little rain didn’t prevent stars like Natalie Portman from hitting the red carpet on Saturday evening in Cannes, France. Portman attended the premiere of her upcoming film “May December” at Cannes Film Festival.
The Oscar-winning actress wore custom Christian Dior. Her gown was inspired by the designer’s 1949 creation called the “Junon.” Embellished with intricate beading, the skirt of Portman’s gown featured layers resembling flower petals. Portman added on a large pair of diamond drop earrings and white platform open-toe heels.
Portman wore her brunette tresses in a slicked-back updo. Her makeup included sparkling silver eye shadow, a nude lip and pink blush.
On the carpet, Portman posed with costars Julianne Moore and Charles Melton, as well as the film’s director, Todd Haynes. “May December” follows a famous actress who, in preparation for her latest role, travels to Maine to study a real-life couple. Haynes is known for helming the acclaimed dramas “Safe” and “Carol.”
Portman has long been associated with the Dior brand. She’s been a spokesmodel for the French label’s Miss Dior fragrance since 2011.
The Cannes Film Festival reigns as a celebratory arena for international film, esteemed directors, filmmakers, actors and cultural productions. Dating back to 1946, The International Film Festival is holding its 76th edition this year.
