Yes, Natalie Portman has dared to wear biker boots on the red carpet.
It's only taken a couple of seasons for this design to go from a fleeting trend to a classic. Like flat versions (specifically, all those models that would also work for an equestrian tournament) or kitten heels (with their moderate heel), biker boots are now a must-have in any wardrobe. But now they've arrived with a twist that makes them even more irresistible: multiple straps and buckles adorning the shaft, enhancing their rebellious character.
Originally designed for comfortable walking and dominating street style, these boots actually offer many more possibilities. Proof of this is Natalie Portman's latest red carpet look for the Paris premiere of her new film, Vie Privée.
The Dior ambassador opted for a pair of the brand's take on the biker boots, adorned with multiple straps (some belt-like and placed asymmetrically) with metal eyelets and the Christian Dior name embossed in the center. Their silhouette, typical of biker boots (with a chunky sole, rounded toe, and knee-high shaft with a zipper), made them an ideal choice to break up the understated elegance of the rest of her outfit.
With these outfit ideas, you’ll want to wear your biker boots every day.
And while the boots were the true stars of the show, Natalie Portman knew how to let them take center stage. She chose a long-sleeved black dress with a flared skirt and semi-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 an elaborate hairstyle. The result? A perfect combination to make her fashion statement: biker boots have a life beyond casual looks. Now it's our turn to heed this advice.
