Natalie Portman made a graceful appearance at the 2024 Ballon d’Or Ceremony, held at Theatre Du Chatelet in Paris on Monday.
The annual event, which saw Manchester City’s Rodri clinch the top prize and Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal awarded the Kopa Trophy for best-performing player under 21, brought out stars from both the sports and entertainment worlds.
You may be wondering why Natalie was there, so you will be surprised to learn that the actress has a firm foot in the sports realm, having co-founded Angel City Football Club, an LA-based, all-female-owned women’s team, which debuted in 2022.
Natalie looked incredibly elegant in a navy blue velvet dress from Dior’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection, accessorized with Dior’s Rose Bagatelle earrings and rings in white gold and diamonds. The deep blue hue and luxurious velvet texture created an effortlessly chic aesthetic that fit perfectly with her understated elegance. The whole look feels effortlessly sophisticated, an outfit choice clearly made to complement rather than detract from the night’s honourees.
Are you having a case of déjà vu? That’s likely because Jennifer Lawrence wore this same Dior dress to the 2024 Golden Globes (which Natalie also attended), making it perhaps the first time we’ve seen Dior ambassadors opting for the same gown for high-profile events. In many ways, this quiet overlap in choices only enhances the gown’s timeless allure, with its classic cut and rich fabric easily complementing each actress’ unique style.
