Few wardrobes have stood the test of time quite like Natalie Portman's. After gaining international recognition with her role as Padmé Amidala in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 1999, she has remained one of the most coveted style icons on the planet, with a penchant for timeless style that stands the test of the trend cycles.
She also has an undeniable talent for infusing contemporary flair into her looks, as proven by the incredible, It-girl-approved look that she wore to the Film Festival Lumiere in Lyon, France, on Monday.
The 44-year-old stunned in an entire look from Dior - the luxury fashion house she's been an ambassador for a whopping 14 years.

From Zendaya to Olivia Dean and Adwoa Aboah, the style has become an It-girl go-to for all occasions, from street style to the red carpet.

They're the sartorial embodiment of "I’m here to have fun, and I don’t care if you judge,” after all, as long as they’re looking, right?" says H! Fashion's Tania Leslau, "With their billowing, cloud-like silhouettes that cinches at the hem and balloons at the hips, they somehow manage to look like both a childhood Pinterest board and a '90s fever dream. A bubble skirt demands to be worn when you’re feeling audacious or want to emulate Cher Horowitz's nonchalant, style-savvy demeanour."
Yet again, Natalie Portman has worn an outfit that fashion lovers are obsessed with.
