Natalie Portman illuminated the 2024 Governors Awards red carpet in a sleek black Schiaparelli gown with a flirty central chest cutout and elegant long skirt. To dazzle up her look even more, the ever-so-stylish May December star, 42, added gold mini hoop earrings from Kristen Drew and a classic red manicure.
After Portman graced the January 9th event in Los Angeles, fans on social media were quick to note that she was noticeably without her wedding ring, fueling speculation about the state of her marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied.

The Oscar winner's frock featured a gold chain halter neck and figure-hugging fit that helped show off her toned arms. The middle cutout emphasized her sculpted abs and tiny waist.
As for her glam for the night out, Portman wore her chestnut brown tresses down, parted to the side and styled into elegant loose waves.
For her makeup look, the Thor: Love and Thunder alum sported black liner, smokey subtle eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, rosy blush and a scarlet lipstick to match her nails.
The 14th annual Governor's Awards was hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and held at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center.
This red carpet gathering is the second this month that Portman has attended while not wearing her wedding ring. At the 2024 Golden Globes two days earlier, it was also absent from her left hand.
The relationship between Portman and Millepied, 46, reportedly came to an end last summer, following allegations of infidelity by Millepied with a young climate activist, as per an explosive report published in French publication, Voici, in June 2023.
A few days before the news broke, the couple, who tied the knot in 2o12, were seen happily cheering on their favorite players at the French Open. The Black Swan actress, however, was snapped by paparazzi as she wiped away tears on a bench in a park with Millepied and their children.
Portman was spotted wiping away tears on a bench in the park with Millepied and their kids, a few days later. The V for Vendetta alum and dancer share 12-year-old son Aleph and 6-year-old daughter, Amalia.
Prior to the Governors Awards, Portman also generated rumors of a marital rift by neglecting to mention her husband in a recent interview with WSJ Magazine.
During the interview, which took place at her Parisian home, Portman spoke of residing with her two kids, yet excluded any mention of her spouse. The speculation has heightened as it suggests that the couple might have separated and are residing in different places.
