Natalie Portman Literally Stopped Traffic In Her First Post-Baby Appearance

by Samantha McDonald

With her natural beauty and impeccable style, Natalie Portman has always possessed a commanding presence, both onscreen and off. So it should’ve come as no surprise when the actress literally stopped traffic as she posed for a photo shoot in the middle of a residential street in Beverly Hills—just two months after giving birth to daughter Amalia. She looked absolutely radiant in a strapless beaded floral dress, and paired the elegant ensemble with classic black heels, minimal makeup and her hair in loose waves. The Oscar winner, who also shares 5-year-old son Aleph with husband Benjamin Millepied, is clearly back in business with a few new upcoming projects, including the TV mini-series We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, and a role as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a biopic. Considering her big year ahead, I’m sure we can expect more show-stopping appearances from this Hollywood powerhouse.
