Natalie does not get dressed up to go out in public, so this is a stage-managed appearance if ever there was one.
Stage managed and sponsored by Dior!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
How transparent can her and her people managing her etc be with this!?!?
Cute hat, though, gotta say.
I’m enjoying the fashion show, so at least one good thing came of it. That hat is awesome although I could do without the branding.
Taika is annoying, don’t get me wrong, but film twitter has started taking his stuff wildly out of context, etc.. At this point, it feels like they are ‘looking’ to get mad at Taika over anything.
And it doesn’t escape me that film twitter’s claws are out for Taika and Lin-Manuel-two men of color-while giving a pass to their favorite yt directors. IF people were looking at it as separating the art from the artist, I could at least understand ‘why’ they get mad at say Taika but give others a pass, but most of the criticism is personal.
Anyway, film twitter’s weird hate boner for people like Rami Malek, Taika, and LIn-Manuel is pretty off putting imo
I didn’t understand the backlash against his Twitter comment, especially as I agreed with it. I think he is very talented but almost unbearably obnoxious like his character in Free Guy. I don’t care about his personal life, I can avoid that, but I think his work needs to be edited by someone who is not Taika Waititi. I get the technical points about the problems with Love & Thunder but what ruined it for me was Korg. Waititi should not have had more screen time than Christian Bale. Korg is no substitute for Thor’s comic group from the earlier films and definitely not a replacement for Loki. Waititi’s inability to edit that character was too much for me.
I’ll never understand the backlash against Lin Manuel Miranda. He’s just a sweet, earnest Theater geek.
There is still huge support for Roman Polanski (Natalie Portman, also one of the links above, is one of his supporters). And Woody Allen. And Brett Ratner. And Bryan Singer. And many others. Yes, the disparate treatment is real.
Wearing her ring isn’t surprising. Every article put out mentions she’s sticking by her man.
I don’t eat Pizza Hut pizza but I do love pickles and cheese.
But it’s not just pickles on a cheese pizza! It’s ranch dressing on the crust, topped by cheese, breaded chicken, white onions, then the ‘spiced pickles’ & a drizzle of yet more ranch dressing. ACK!
I will give anything a try, food wise, but even I’m not up for this one. It’s the breaded chicken that is getting the hard pass, for me. With the ranch and cheese, there is no need for breading the chicken. Grilled chicken I would have given a try.
Look at her posing that wedding ring! LOL
Did Dior call and tell her to get out in public, looking OK and fulfill your contract.
Look like an unbothered, wealthy, movie Star wearing Dior. Do your job!
Honey, a wedding ring isn’t gonna make him stop cheating.
Lock a cheater in chains in a cellar and the cheater will find a way to still be a cheater, sooner or later.
Cheetah!
Such an obvious brand endorsement seems beneath her.
The last time Natalie Portman appeared to have marriage troubles, she ended up getting pregnant. Maybe there will be another band-aid baby in her future?
Ofcourse she did! Celebs like her are all about pride. She doesn’t want to be seen as the one ditched (although this isn’t exactly a good situation either), I have a feeling they’ll quietly separate after few months
Quietly separate is likely.
But I’m a crabby old woman, I’d like to see her kick him to the curb, Hard.
Get Out! Cheetah!
Somebody hand her a golf club so she can give him the Tiger Woods wife treatment.
Shakira and her porch witch was so great! 💕💕
Typically I’d say you’re right, but she’s got a Todd Haynes film that just premiered at Cannes. It’s going to be an Oscar contender and she’s expected to be nominated for Best Actress again. She may intend on keeping up appearances a little longer.
Walk the red carpets alone, but let him attend, wear her ring in public but rarely be seen with him kind of thing. He’s definitely not getting mentioned in any important speeches (if she starts winning) unless she legitimately plans on staying with him.
Shakira hung out with Gisele a few weeks ago in Miami. Messi, formerly of her former husband’s team but much better football/ soccer player, is moving to Miami: his wife publicly supported Shakira. And now she’s (casually) dating a total winner in Lewis Hamilton. She is absolutely thriving!
I was worried, but I actually love Priyanka’s total look, hair included.
As for Natalie, her private life sucks, but she’s not hiding.
Miami is the place to be. Too bad it’s in Florida.
This.
I think that is priana’s best look ever!
That’s unfortunate for Natalie. I’d forgotten that she was a Polanski supporter/apologist. I admire the way Tony Collette handled her husband’s open and disrespectful infidelity – she just quietly divorced him.
But again, it is a mixed message. She is wearing her wedding ring (for her French fans), but without her husband at the tennis match (for her American fans). She wants to play it both ways, and maybe even boost her popularity as well as protecting it. This is strategic as hell and I’m sure she’s getting advice from crisis managers, lawyers, etc. Too bad her husband sucks and doesn’t respect her or their marriage.
She could have had anyone she wants. But she ended up with this guy. I don’t get it.
Many of the men who wanted her were super weird and gross about it, though (Zadie Smith mentioned students skipping class to follow her around the Harvard campus). I can see why a young woman who fended off a lot of unwanted attention would be drawn to someone who was a bit cool with her.
Didn’t he pursue her like crazy though, on the set on BS?
She dated Moby for like a month. She has strange taste in men. At least she doesn’t date only elite or tech millionaires like Emma Watson.
She never dated Moby, he claimed he did and she called him out on creeping on her when she was barely 18. But her dating history is really weird. The guys cheated on her and were the uber snobby elitist “artists”. Benjamin fits that type. She shouldn’t be surprised he treated her the same as his previous girlfriend.
Wasn’t there some study saying married couples are much less likely to divorce after seven years and that number isn’t random; it’s bc they’re much likely to have kids at that stage?
For the kids, 100%. Sure there’s love there too but that guy seems a massive douche.
Jeez, I could never be a celebrity. I shudder at the thought of having to strut my stuff in front of the cameras for a solid fortnight to indicate I am “living my best life, happy, in control and looking fabulous as ever” to keep my q score stable when I have some kind of embarrassing yet run-of-the-mill personal issue. Hell, I never even had a Facebook.
On the plus side, Natalie usually dresses very casually and she looks nice in these fits from Dior.
Lewis ans Shakira: yes all for it
Gigi and Leo: just friends me thinks
Natalie: divorce that dude seriously
