Natalie Portman attends the 9th Annual New York Times Arts & Leisure Weekend at The Times Center in New York City in Rodarte for Target.
Screw that. We're not torn at all. She looks terrible and the dress looks unbelievably cheap. We wanted to applaud her for trying something a little thrifty, but we suspect she has an agreement with Rodarte. Promote the cheap line and we'll give you first pass at our red carpet gowns for awards season.
V Magazine#62 Editorial: Natalie Or Nothing Styled by Clare Richardson Photographed by Mario Testino
We've always been a little annoyed by Natalie Portman. For someone so undeniably beautiful, she's, well, boring as hell. The girl's just got no charisma whatsoever. Either she was really pissed off about something the day these pictures were taken or Mario Testino somehow managed to tap into a side of her rarely (if ever) seen, but we think these are some of the best pictures we've ever seen of her. She's looked prettier in other pictures, and we can't say we love the clothes, but she's commanding the camera in a way we've never seen her do. If we were flipping through this magazine, we'd stop and look at this editorial. And if we were her style consultants, we'd tell her to look into heavy eye makeup more often.
