There was plenty of eye-catching red carpet style at the 2024 Golden Globes. From Hunter Schafer's ethereal Prada look to Oprah Winfrey's regal custom Louis Vuitton, fashion lovers were spoilt for choice.

One outfit, however, stood out among the crowds: Natalie Portman's deceptively simple Dior Couture ballgown, which was embroidered all over with a magnificent Impressionist landscape of micro-flowers and vermicelli, with fine needlework created by the Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai.

Portman’s look was one of the night’s most striking

The actress, who was nominated for her role in May December, dazzled in the structured floor-skimming gown, which she accessorised with diamond drop De Beers earrings and Jimmy Choo shoes. She let her dress do the talking, pairing her look with a simple, slicked back ponytail and a nude lip.

“My dress was hand-beaded and took hundreds of hours of work, so I’m really lucky to get to wear this, it's like a garden on a dress,” Portman told WWD on the night. Portman has been a brand ambassador for Dior since 2011, when she was the face of Miss Dior Chérie. Since then, she's starred in several campaigns for the brand and regularly wears Dior gowns and dresses for red-carpet events.

She wasn't the only star on the night to be wearing a custom look by Dior – Jennifer Lawrence also took to the red carpet in an elegant midnight-blue velvet gown by the French fashion house.
