Natalie Portman: Vegan Shoes Were My Only Option

Natalie Portman skips out on the Oscars and instead is seen braving the New York City chill all by herself on Sunday.

Nat, 26, recently explained her decision to launch a range of vegan shoes for Te Casan: “Basically, I did it out of a lack of choice. Stella McCartney does great shoes, but they’re expensive and very fashiony. I wanted a Mary Jane shoe without leather. I’ve been getting stuff from Target, which is de facto vegan because it’s so cheap. But I did need some shoes that weren’t made of canvas or plastic.”

Don’t miss Natalie Wednesday on TRL and The Late Show with David Letterman. And on Thursday, don’t forget to watch her on Late Night with Conan O’Brien!
