TENNIS TIME

Posted Sep 09 2008 @ 10:17 PM

After her big week in Venice, Natalie Portman made her way home to New York on Sept 8, but surprisingly not for fashion week. Sticking to her tomboy roots, Nat headed straight for the US Open, where she sat directly in front of Charlize Theron while enjoying a few brews and watching Roger Federer defeat Andy Murray. For her tennis outing, Nat wore a comfy, casual striped t-shirt dress (like Gina Michele’s Organic Citrus Stripe Dress in Sunshine Yellow) with simple strappy sandals (try Matiko’s Ivana Sandals in Gold) and carried an earthy brown tote (similar to Carla Mancini’s Braided Handle Bag in Metallic Crocodile). Nat kept her accessories minimal, with chic diamond stud earrings (try the natural shape of Vevina Juji’s Sweet Earrings in Silver instead, I’m sure Nat would approve!) and classy red polish on her digits. In response to her well received directorial debut at the Venice International Film Festival, Nat told the press, “I was always interested in trying to write and direct. We have so much time off between filming as actors that we tend to get restless and we want a creative outlet. There is not always acting work that fulfills that need.” Though her debut film was under 30 mins, I can’t wait to see how a full feature film would turn out with Nat behind the camera!
