Natalie Portman was seated in the front row with several fellow brand ambassadors and celebrities for the Dior cruise 2026 show in Rome on Tuesday. The Oscar-winning “Black Swan” actress joined such stars as Alexandra Daddario, Rosamund Pike and more for the fashion show.
For the special occasion, Portman opted for an all-white look with textural juxtaposition. The actress wore a white silk jacket with tailored elements, featuring rounded shoulders with sharp lapels, long sleeves and an elongated frame.

Portman also wore a silk long dress in a complementary shade of white. The dress featured tiered fabric with a semisheer element. The dress featured subtle definition at the waist, and the semisheer fabric was featured as a scarf element around Portman’s neck.
The “Jackie” actress has a longtime relationship with Dior. Portman became the face of the French luxury fashion house’s Miss Dior fragrance campaign in the early 2010s. She’s remained the star of several Dior perfume ads since.
“Everyone’s just really lovely, and you can really feel the attention and respect to detail and this artistry of all the thousands of people who work on the fragrance and the clothes,” Portman told WWD’s Beauty Inc. of Dior in 2021, ahead of the brand’s Miss Dior Chérie fragrance release.

The Dior cruise 2026 collection was curated by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, who returned to Rome to stage her first fashion show in 10 years. Chiuri looked to the city for inspiration and even incorporated the ways in which Rome is seen on film.
“Cinema has done a lot to promote the image of Rome,” Chiuri said. “For me, it was important not only to show my personal Rome, but also Rome as it has appeared in the movies.”
Highlights from the collection included “A black lace dress was topped with a heavy cream wool military-style coat with tails, while others came with a peaked trench cape, a shrug-sized motorcycle jacket or cream tailcoats with more than a hint of Marlene Dietrich,” Joelle Diderich wrote in WWD’s review of the collection.
