Natalie Portman on Summer Reading, Britney Spears, and the Scent of Love

In 1950, three years after Christian Dior unveiled his wasp-waisted New Look, the house’s debut fragrance earned itself a redesigned flacon. Rectilinear and “cut like a suit,” as the couturier put it, the Miss Dior perfume bottle featured an engraved houndstooth motif, along with a black ribbon reminiscent of a bow tie. Illustrator René Gruau encapsulated the moment with an advertisement at once painterly, austere, and clairvoyant: In it, a swan, wearing nature’s triangular black eye makeup, poses with a triple strand of pearls and a blousy bow. If the animal were to evoke a pop-cultural figure, it would most certainly be cinema’s favorite cygnet Natalie Portman.

It was coincidentally around the time of Portman’s 2010 Black Swan that she joined as a face of Dior perfumes. “It’s funny, because it was a dark role, but—I think because I was falling in love with my husband at the time—it had this feeling of great romance and excitement and joy for me,” the actor said in a call earlier this summer from Sydney, where she was filming the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. If the ballet thriller followed the character’s downward spiral, that first fragrance campaign mirrored her real-life swoon. (When she accepted her Oscar for the role, her new husband, Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied, and their future baby got a shoutout.) “It felt very much in line with this world of beauty and joy and sensuality that Miss Dior exists in,” she recalled.

That tracks with Christian Dior’s original vision. “Make me a perfume scented with love,” the designer put it, his poetic dictates doubling as prescient marketing savvy. Now comes a new iteration of the Miss Dior eau de parfum, as reconsidered by master nose François Demachy. The fragrance itself is a profusion of flowers, with the signature Centifolia rose and lily of the valley alongside newcomers peony and iris; so is the campaign film, partially set in fields of never-ending blossoms.

This montage of Portman—driving a truck full of flower-market haul, silent-screaming with joy, jumping on a hotel bed in couture, noodling with a sandy-haired model just out of frame—is pure fantasy. But it also carries a glimmer of this summer’s catharsis. “So many people have had such challenging times in different ways this year, that I think finding those pockets of joy and of beauty have been really necessary modes of living right now,” Portman said. (In some way, those themes make sense for Miss Dior. The fragrance’s namesake is the designer’s sister, Catherine: a decorated member of the Resistance in World War II, who endured Gestapo torture and 10 months at Buchenwald before starting over as a flower merchant, eventually cultivating fields of Centifolia roses.)

Here, Portman talks about her own turnaround lately: newly buff to play Jane Foster in Thor, inspired by Australian nature, nourished by books. (In the intervening time, she has since pulled out of a once-slated HBO adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s Days of Abandonment, but Portman remains in the author’s thrall.)

Vanity Fair: I understand you’re in Australia for Thor these days. Have you gotten to explore any special places, or are you getting woken up by some strange exotic bird?

Natalie Portman: It’s such an incredible city. There are just the most beautiful walks and beaches and nature, and, yes, birds. They have these birds called rainbow lorikeets that are rainbow-colored, as advertised, and they do wake you up in the morning. You wake up to so much birdsong. It looks like something someone would have in a cage at home, unfortunately, and they’re just flying around everywhere, freely. It’s so, so magical.

You recently posted a throwback photo with Britney Spears. We’ve lately been reconsidering the aughts and the treatment of women at that time. Do you see any similarities in your backgrounds, whether general societal pressures or a specific incident, given that you both started your careers quite young?

Well, I can’t compare my experience to hers at all. I think she had such a different level of attention and focus on her. But I do think that that is just an extraordinary amount of spotlight, and having other people try and create your narrative for you. That’s happened so much and continues to happen: people trying to frame a woman’s life, or a girl’s life, in the way they want to and not allowing the girl, or later the woman, to author her own existence. If there’s any plus side to social media, I think that that’s it, where people are really given the opportunity to communicate directly and be able to express themselves the way they would like to express themselves.
