EXCLUSIVE: Natalie Portman looks stunning while modeling plunging red gown for dreamy Dior beach shoot in Spain… amid ‘marriage woes’
Natalie Portman looked beautiful on Wednesday during a shoot on the beach in Spain.
The Oscar-winning actress, 42, modeled a sheer, flowing red dress with a plunging neckline as she frolicked barefoot in the sand while shooting a new campaign for Dior.
While surrounded by production staff and filmmakers, the Black Swan star – who looked somber as she stepped out without her wedding in Paris two days earlier – ran along the seafront.
At one point, Portman had jumped into the water before the shoot and emerged to wrap himself in a white robe.
For the shoot, she looked radiant with a minimal makeup look and messy beach waves.

During the shoot, she was seen beaming as she ran along the beach and splashed in the water.
Amid her busy schedule, Portman has faced trouble in her 11-year marriage to Benjamin Millepied amid cheating allegations.
Last month it was reported that the French producer, 46, had an alleged affair with climate change activist Camille Étienne and as a result there is speculation that the pair are heading for divorce.
Since then, both Portman and Millepied have been spotted without their wedding rings as they continue to co-parent their two children.
The longtime couple share son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, six.
Earlier this month they reunited in the French capital and were spotted taking a walk with their two children.
The couple looked tense but appeared to present a united front amid swirling rumors about their marital problems.
In June, a French sales point called Voici shared an explosive report claiming Benjamin was having an affair with a 25-year-old climate activist named Camille Étienne.

The couple first met on the set of Black Swan in 2019 and Portman immediately knew he was ‘the person’ for her.

Six years later they welcomed their daughter Amalia.
