Natalie Portman in Dior at the Berlin Thor premiere: lovely or cotillion-fug?
I’m splitting up the photos from last night’s Berlin premiere for Thor 2: The Dark Loki into two posts. This is the Natalie Portman/fashion post. It could have been more interesting except that Elsa Pataky has been NOWHERE. You guys… I sort of miss Elsa. What’s wrong with me? So, in Elsa’s absence, we have Natalie Portman in princess-white Christian Dior Couture.
What is this fabric? Is it really heavy taffeta? I think that’s what it is. I guess I don’t hate the idea of a clean, minimalist, strapless gown in off-white, even though it’s reading more like a fancy-prom dress or, even worse, a debutante’s cotillion gown. Considering what Natalie wore for the London premiere, this is fine. I guess.
Natalie recently gave an interview to The Telegraph about motherhood and feminism. She said:
“I love being a mum. I’m less judgmental than before I had a kid. The biggest thing about parenting is that it is a totally different experience for every person. Everything is cool, there are no rules – I mean, apart from not hurting your kid. Some people breastfeed until their babies are five, and some don’t breastfeed at all. There are no rules about what it means to be a feminist, or a good mother. For some, it’s going to be right to go back to work, for others it’s going to be right to stop working completely.”
Saying that you’re LESS judgmental now that you’re a mom implies that you were totally a judgy bitch before you had a kid. Which is fine. I’m pretty judgy too. I think most people are. But it’s funny that she couldn’t admit it in real time. Maybe it’s something you only realize in retrospect though – like, she thinks back to how she was several years ago and she can’t believe how much she shaded this person or that group.
