Natalie Portman keeps it casual in a $7,000 designer outfit as she runs errands in Sydney...hard to believe! Go here for the dollar breakdown....

Hard to believe that such a frump a dump outfit could wind up being so pricey.

The tee is WAY over-priced - nothing very special about it other than the brand name.

The sunglasses are OK, they look good on her. The bag is kinda ho-hum imo. I'm sure it's nicely made but any of us regular folk could come up with a very similar outfit for way less - and who would know?

She is a beautiful woman and could wear the worst of the worst and still look good. There was no breakdown of the brand of jeans or sneaks. She is very petite.

Ridiculous price for that teeshirt. It doesn't look any better than something you could buy at Walmart or any similar retailer.

Nothing about this "designer outfit" warrants that kind of money, but that's JMO. If I had the money (and I do), I wouldn't waste it on that outfit or those accessories. Not when I can get the same look for a fraction of the price.

I'm always a "spend your own money the way you want" kind of gal, but wow, if I were to spend $7K on an outfit, I certainly would not be looking like I walked out of the bargain basement store.

I could probably put together a similar outfit for less then $200 including bra, panties, glasses, purse, shoes and throw in a lipstick. Maybe even $150.

Very, very ordinary .... well, I can see that even Christian Dior outfits aren't what they used to be ..... yeah .... outfit by Christian Dior ...

I would be upset if after spending $7000 I did not look better than that!

This one is really hard to figure out.

Now, I'm coming up with scenarios.

~ She agreed to advertise for Christian dior who thinks the name alone will entice uber rich celebs to buy the dang shirt! And another seeing another celebrity wearing it, might need to think they should too.

She agreed to wear it if a certain percent was donated to a charity. (hopefully?!)

No one gives a shiii anymore and spends whatever the h..... they want, disregarding any thousands of more worthy places, causes to spend that,

rather spending it on "it's all about me!" because, the world has gone insane.

But wait! If you look up Natalie Portman, you will find she has worn Christian Dior many times, the designs described in detail.

So, she is either paid, given free outfits by this designer etc etc.

The "given free outfits by this designer" is more likely the truth. Designers hand out clothes to celebrities like the rest of us hand out candy to kids on Halloween. Jay Leno used to talk about it. Once he became successful it wasn't unusual for a dozen suits to appear at his door from a designer wanting him to wear them on TV. Natalie Portman typically strikes me as being sane (at least by Hollywood standards), so I don't see her spending that kind of money on those kinds of clothes.

As some of you know I am a Goodwill shopper. Tee Shirts are around $5.00,same for jeans. I have seen some some lovely NEW handbags for $ 3-4.00.

This outfit is not even attractive and certainly overpriced.

This sounds like a PR trick her publicist did (dropping a line about the $7k outfit) to get Natalie included on a celebrity page of a rag publication or website. It is probably not true. This kind of thing happens.

@January121 @Group 5 minus 1 I could go to Goodwill and put this look together for $25. AND look better!

Anyway, I would never wear this look...I do not care for it. Maybe doing hedge clipping or lawn mowing...my yucky yard clothes...

The article says she's a brand ambassador for the purse - so that was free and the bulk of the $7k. I'm guessing the shirt and glasses were free too. Her shoes are Adidas Stan Smith's - everyone at my high school wore them.

It simply shows how celebrities live and we don't. And it shows how absurd it is for them to tell us how to live; and vice versa.

It's a different planet!

very ordinary! She looks nice and casual, ready for a day of running errrands, or whatever, but she got ripped off for sure!!!!!!

Hollywood ....ugh...how many meals for the homeless and prostetics for disabled vets could this outfit buy?

With priviledge comes responsibility......

And then you hear them whine...Making a movie is so hard...have to be at work at 6am...blah blah..

Nothing to admire here...

Instead of wasting her money on an outfit thats definitely NOT worth it, she should be banking that money instead....actors are a dime a dozen and careers are usually short-lived.....
