From Red Carpet to Altar: Natalie Portman at the Cannes Film Festival
Filed under: Fashion, From Red Carpet to Altar, Celebrity
- Navy is just like black, but not -- Natalie opted for a light shade of navy, which has all the flattering qualities of black but with the added benefit of actually being a color.
- Take advantage of a trend -- Dark navy nail polish is huge this year, and Natalie jumped right on board by painting her fingernails the same color as her dress.
- Glammed up accessories -- The metallic gold shoes and clutch are a beautiful way to accent the darkness of the dress.
Here's how you can incorporate Natalie's navy into your nuptials:
- Pay attention to the shade of navy -- some are really dark, almost black, while others are a much bluer shade, like Natalie's. We really like the lighter shade for summer, especially in a fabric like a chiffon, rather than satin. Also, consider navy as an alternative to black for a daytime or outdoor wedding where you still want some formality but don't find black totally appropriate.
- Don't be afraid to take your color cues from unusual places, like a cosmetics trend.
- When you consider accessories, don't just think about jewelry and shoes -- consider the big picture. We're big fans of pairing the guys in a tan suit while the ladies wear navy, and as far as flowers go, you can really make a statement with beautiful yellows, oranges, pinks, or even just white.
