Natalie Portman Steals the Show at the Ballon d’Or
Well, well, well! If it isn’t Natalie Portman, making waves on the red carpet at the 68th Ballon d’Or ceremony! At 43, she seems to be the only one who understands the concept of “life begins at 40.” The crowd couldn’t contain their excitement as she swapped her long brown locks for a bob hairstyle that could make even a style guru weep with joy. I mean, who needs a crown when you can just show up looking this fabulous?
The Bob That Stole Hearts
Let’s get into it, shall we? That bob of hers was not just styled; it was practically sculpted by angels! Paired with a long black fitted dress featuring puffed sleeves and a neckline daring enough to say, “What are you looking at?” she gave us a masterclass in how to show up and make everyone forget about the big football awards happening around her. It’s like seeing a lion at a poodle contest: utterly captivating and utterly out of place, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
Jewelry? Oh, she wore *some*—three silver rings and discreet earrings—as if to say, “I’d rather my hair do the talking.” Effortlessly chic, isn’t she? If only I could throw on a bob and a fitted dress and somehow convince the world I’ve got my life together!
From Hollywood to the Football Field
And believe it or not, there’s more to this multifaceted actress. Despite the glamour of Hollywood, Natalie has a foot firmly planted in the world of football. You see, she’s the proud owner of Angel City, an American women’s football team, which makes her a surprising player in a field dominated by men—kind of like a squirrel in a dog park!
Portman recently confessed to being a passionate supporter of PSG. Yes, the Paris Saint-Germain team! When presenting the Women’s Trophy to Aitana Bonmati, she casually shared her affection for PSG, all while Didier Drogba—probably sweating bullets—held the mic like a seasoned pro: “It’s a little difficult to say because there are so many extraordinary players and teams here, but we live in Paris, and we often go to see PSG play.” Fair enough, Natalie, perhaps keep an eye on your children’s jerseys because Paris is notorious for past relationships!
A Nod to the Rivalry
And if you thought she was just a pretty face with a bob, think again. Portman displayed her sense of humor in the most delightful way, miming the number ‘4’ with her fingers, a cheeky reminder of the recent thrashing Real Madrid received in El Clásico. I mean really, she could probably land a role as a comedic football commentator at this point! And who doesn’t love a good dig at their rivals, right?
As she mingles with football stars like Joao Neves and Vitinha, one has to wonder if they realize that they’re in the presence of a true Hollywood megastar or just another mum cheering for her kids in the stands.
So, folks, as the night rolled on and she basked in the limelight, it was clear that Natalie Portman wasn’t just there to make a fashion statement. Nope! She was serving up surprises that even the Ballon d’Or winners couldn’t overshadow. Here’s to a woman who flips the script and shows us that we’re all just one fabulous haircut away from greatness!
Natalie Portman was full of surprises Monday night! The 43-year-old actress was not far from snatching the spotlight from the Ballon d’Or winners. On the occasion of the 68th ceremony of the event, the young woman caused a sensation when she arrived on the red carpet. His new haircut earned him a shower of praise from the crowd.
It’s for a bob with pretty waves that Natalie Portman exchanged her long brown hair. A hairstyle that she had combined on Monday with a long black fitted dress with puffed sleeves and a daring neckline. If the Israeli-American director wore some jewelry – an assortment of three silver rings and a pair of discreet earrings – she opted for refined makeup, her cut more than enough to dress her up.

Although it seems surprising to see Natalie Portman present at this type of event, the “Black Swan” actress nevertheless has one foot in the world of football. The ex-wife of Benjamin Millepied – with whom she divorced this summer – owns the Angel City franchise club, an American women’s football team. “I’m a big fan of football, especially women’s football […] Of course, I like American players. There are really very good players but there are very great players all over the world,” she told “L’Équipe”.

Natalie Portman declares her love for PSG and tackles Real Madrid
In addition to having shocked people with her look, Natalie Portman made a surprising revelation during the evening. While she presented the women’s trophy to Spaniard Aitana Bonmati on stage, the actress admitted to having a favorite team, which is none other than PSG. An opinion that she revealed at the microphone of Didier Drogba (who as a former OM player knew how to remain stoic): “It’s a little difficult to say because there are so many players and teams extraordinary here, but we live in Paris and so we often go to see PSG play.”
Since living in Paris, Natalie Portman regularly goes to the Parc des Princes with her family, with her parents or her two children, Aleph and Amalia. She, who has recently purchased a private mansion in the capital, must have probably pleased the Parisians present in the room, Joao Neves, Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery.

While she then took the break with Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and Pau Cubarsi, Natalie Portman made a funny gesture towards their Madrid enemies. The American actress discreetly mimed the number 4 on her fingers, a reminder of the final score of the Classico last Saturday, largely won by FC Barcelona against Real Madrid (4-0). A chamber faithful to his humor.
