Natalie Portman has mastered the art of effortless French girl chic, whether she’s dripping in iridescent sequins and diamonds on the red carpet or pairing barrel-leg blue jeans with a perfectly-fitted white t-shirt staple and dad sneakers. And Monday, July 21 was no exception, as Portman wore a bra with unbuttoned daisy duke shorts and a midi-length trench coat—and somehow made the whole confusing ensemble look so elegant.
Portman subtly flashed some major skin, wearing nothing under her long khaki trench coat except for a miniscule mint green bra that showed off her toned stomach. Keeping the midriff-baring ethos going, the Star Wars alum tapped into her Y2K roots by bringing back a Noughties-era styling trend for her tiny denim shorts. She wore the distressed shorts undone, rolling the sides over to create a V-style low-rise cut in front.
