Although many of us have been resisting the resurgence of some of the early 2000s more polarizing fashion trends (looking at you, low-rise jeans), it's a pleasant surprise when a well-known fashion icon revisits the style with their own perspective. Natalie Portman, for instance, just put an undeniably chic twist on highly controversial, low-slung bottoms. When attending a Netflix screening of her new film May December, Portman wore low-rise pants as part of an all-black, all-Dior ensemble that was sophisticated and polished, while still tapping into a bit of early-aughts appeal.
Instead of opting for other Y2K trends, like denim on denim of visible thongs, the actress and Dior ambassador chose to wear a sophisticated sweater by the French fashion house, made of Italian black wool, with a slit neckline and draped short sleeves. The balloon sleeves added just enough drama to make the outfit look elegant, yet still eye-catching and intriguing. She paired the sweater with black wide-leg pants that featured a low-rise waistline, sitting perfectly on her hips to bare just enough midriff. The result was a fashionable and fresh-cinema look, especially with the addition of Dior's signature ribbon slingback heels.
