Natalie Portman 'Black Swan' Premiere at Venice Film Festival!

Natalie Portman 'Black Swan' Premiere at Venice Film Festival!

Natalie Portman is red hot in Rodarte at the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Venice Film Festival at the Sala Grande Palazzo Del Cinema on Wednesday (September 1) in Venice, Italy.

The event, which was also attended by her boyfriend Benjamin Millepied, was also the premiere of her new movie, Black Swan.

Director Darren Aronofsky recently shared, “One of the best things about the film is the casting of Natalie. She took the part and ran with it. I don’t know if when I was working with the writers we were consciously channeling Natalie or Natalie somehow transformed herself to the part, but they grew together. I first talked with Natalie about this project at least 10 years ago. We were in Times Square and had a coffee at the old Howard Johnson. I had this idea of setting something in the ballet world. It was very loose. I didn’t have a script. And then I found out she was fascinated by ballet and wanted to play a dancer.”

FYI: Natalie wore Charles David shoes and a Dior bag.
