Natalie Portman’s Style Evolution Through the Years

A 13-year-old Natalie Portman showed up to the Leon: The Professional premiere in a furry black and white coat layered over a knee-length black dress and matching tights.

That same year, she also attended the premiere of I Like It Like That in an oversized brown wool coat and a demure black headband.

The Hollywood actress has had a great fashion sense from a young age. Take her outfit here, for instance—she paired an oversized blazer with a crisp white button-up and beige slacks for the premiere of Mighty Aphrodite.

She wore another outfit featuring neutral shades to a screening of Dead Man. At this event, she sported a black knee-length skirt with a pale orange patterned cami, an open button-down blouse, and ankle-strap heels.

She shook things up when she walked the Mars Attacks! red carpet in a lime green set with a matching beaded handbag. Her simple hair and makeup complemented the look perfectly.

Portman’s look for the premiere of Everyone Says I Love You in 1997 was the epitome of Y2K dressing. The mesh graphic tee, the beaded purse, the slicked-back hair—what more could you want?

The actress looked ethereal at the Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace premiere in a silky shift dress with bedazzled seams. Her pared-down makeup and hairstyle allowed the dress to shine.

Portman posed with fellow actor Jake Gyllenhaal at a charity carnival in the early 2000s. She wore a khaki trench coat and a white top for the occasion, while Jake sported a striped shirt and jeans.

Portman looked striking in a sailor-esque black and white dress accessorized with slingback heels and minimal jewelry.

Sometimes all you need is a red dress. The actress walked the American for the Arts Awards red carpet in a sleeveless, slinky red gown with a floor-grazing hem. For makeup, she donned a simple lip and cat eye.

Portman decided on a satin navy-black dress with a plunging V-neckline, a pleated hem, and a ruched bodice and waist for a benefit event in the early aughts.

Portman proved it’s all in the details when she stepped out in an intricately designed knee-length frock featuring a sequined overlay. Her strappy velvet heels were the perfect extra touch.

The actress went for something more colorful when she attended a Los Angeles event in a pink, green, and blue-checkered halter neck dress with a cinched waist and exaggerated collar.

This demure black lace dress was the perfect pick for an appearance at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards. The crystal bow sash and simple heels elevated the outfit effortlessly.

Portman was spotted in 2007 leaving a New York City premiere in a loose-fitting lilac dress with a ruffled drop hem and pointed collar. It’s also worth noting her satin heels—they’re oh-so-fabulous.

The star looked regal at the premiere of The Other Boleyn Girl in a wine-colored gown with a bustle hem and matching chiffon stole. She wore her hair in a loose updo for the occasion.

She looked like a work of art at an AmfAR event in a sculptural Givenchy creation showcasing layers of ruffles and a unique neckline.

Portman wore a strapless chiffon column dress to the 2009 Academy Awards. Look closely and you can see colorful, sequined details along the bodice.

She stunned in a fun purple number at the 2010 Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’ Governors Awards. The tulip hem and the large shoulder accent took this look to the next level.

Portman decided on a sultry, off-the-shoulder black gown with a dipped neckline and floor-grazing hem for the New York premiere of Black Swan. Her red lipstick and statement diamond earrings made the ensemble incredibly luxe.
