Yes, Natalie Portman dared to wear biker boots on the red carpet.
In just a couple of seasons, this design has gone from a passing trend to a classic. Like flats (specifically all those styles that would also be suitable for equestrian events) or small heels (with a moderate heel), biker boots are now required in any wardrobe. But now they come with a twist that makes them even more irresistible: numerous straps and buckles adorning the top highlight their rebellious character.
Originally designed for comfortable walking and dominating street style, these boots actually offer much more. The proof of this is Natalie Portman latest look on the red carpet at the Paris premiere of her new film, Confidentiality.
The Dior ambassador opted for a pair of biker boots in the brand's signature style, adorned with multiple straps (some belt-like and asymmetrically positioned) with metal eyelets and the Christian Dior name embossed in the center. Their typical biker boot silhouette (with a chunky sole, round toe and knee-length cuff with zipper) made them the perfect choice to break up the understated elegance of the rest of her outfit.
And while the real stars of the show were the boots, Natalie Portman knew how to let them take center stage. She opted for a long-sleeved black dress with a flared skirt and sheer black tights. She also opted for a simple updo with a center part and subtle makeup with plenty of blush on the apples of her cheeks rather than a complicated updo. Result? The perfect pairing to make a fashion statement, biker boots mean life beyond the everyday. Now it's our turn to heed this advice.
