Natalie Portman Favors Blue Velvet in Plunging Dress at Ballon D’Or Ceremony
Natalie Portman added texture to the red carpet at the 2024 Balloon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday. The event honors the best football players, teams and coaches of the year.
Portman selected a plunging navy velvet gown with batwing sleeves, pairing it with diamond-encrusted earrings and rings. The actress wore her brunette tresses in a wavy bob, while her makeup consisted of black eyeliner, rosy blush and a mauve lip.

Portman currently works with stylist Ryan Hastings, whose other A-list clients include Ryan Gosling and Anya Taylor-Joy.
Last month, the “Lady in the Lake” star put a sustainable spin on the little black dress at Stella McCartney‘s spring 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week. She selected a ruched minidress based on a design from McCartney’s fall 2024 collection, pairing it with black tights, patent leather heels and a faux leather handbag.
Other stars in the front row at McCartney’s latest presentation included Greta Gerwig, Ashley Graham and Maria Sharapova.
As reported by WWD’s Miles Socha, McCartney’s spring 2025 line was crafted from 91 percent sustainable materials. Many guests, including Portman, also carried the label’s new vegan Ryder bag, a top-handle design featuring a sloped back.
“The collection flitted confidently between masculine archetypes — strong-shouldered tailoring, often pinstriped, and boyishly baggy jeans — and sexier fare: clinging knit dresses and bandeau tops, or sheer, sensually draped dresses, which seem to be everywhere this European season,” Socha wrote.
Speaking to WWD backstage, McCartney discussed her label’s approach to eco-friendly fashion, which includes leatherworking techniques using materials made from grapes and apples.
