Natalie Portman wears statement Christian Dior sweater in Sydney

Natalie Portman arrived in Australia late last year ahead of filming scenes for Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder which has now officially wrapped.

And the Hollywood actress, 39, commanded attention when she stepped out in Sydney recently.   

The Black Swan star covered her petite figure in an oversized black and white Christian Dior slogan sweater from their 2018 collection, teamed with blue jeans. 

Natalie kept light on her feet in a pair of white Nike hi-top sneakers and slung a black crossbody bag across her frame. 

She concealed her gaze behind black Ray Ban sunglasses and tied her brunette locks into a sleek style at the nape of the neck.

The mother of two appeared to sport minimal makeup, drawing attention to her natural beauty.
