It takes a ton of confidence to grace an actual red carpet in a red dress, and Natalie Portman did just that at the premiere of “The Black Swan.”  She selected a flowing Rodarte gown with beautiful embellishment along the bodice and neckline to make her entrance.  If this scene were a movie, it would have been called “The Lady in Rodarte.”  Her gown gets high marks for the way it moves as she walks, and for the thigh-high slit that is simultaneously modest and revealing.  Portman’s hair and makeup were extremely classic to balance the drama of the gown.  We’re thrilled that she went for the gold strappy sandals after opting for a cream evening bag.  The actress has been making the rounds while at the Venice Film Festival, and we can’t wait to see what she wears to her next public appearance.
