Natalie Portman gave a womanly twist to the saying ‘pretty in pink’ in her stunning Rodarte gown at the Oscars this weekend.
Natalie Portman’s complimentary makeup was done with Chanel cosmetics by Jeanine Lobell who said, "The colour was a fantastic orchid. I wanted to do cool, punk rock, sexy fairy make-up."
So there you have it, orchid and lavender fairy makeup for spring.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Natalie Portman’s entire Oscar ensemble sparks new fashion trends for the Spring/Summer 2009 season.
Following the pictures of Natalie Portman at the Oscars, the gallery shows a few feminine pieces from Rodarte’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Just like Portman’s dress, many of these pieces featured a wrap look, but while hers at a whimsical feel, the Rodarte SS 09 collection had much more of a punk edge.
