Last Thursday, Natalie Portman returned to the red carpet circuit at the New York City Ballet 2013 Fall Gala held at the Lincoln Center in NYC. In her Christian Dior Fall 2013 column gown, Natalie has done the impossible: she managed to outdress, outshine, and outfab the usually best dressed Sarah Jessica Parker!
First, see how stunning Natalie Portman looked in her blue-yellow-and-black strapless gown paired with dramatic smoky eyes and a modelesque blowout hairdo.

Natalie was a vision of perfection, and it was no small feat for her to beat Sarah Jessica Parker in the fashion department, especially considering what SJP wore — a full-on strapless pink ball gown, a style typically reserved for belles of the ball. And not just that, SJP’s gown was also custom-made for her by two designers, a collaborated effort between Prabal Gurung and Olivier Theyskens.
