Somewhat unsurprisingly, considering how hot the actress looked during her bald stint, we think Natalie Portman looks as gorgeous as ever as a blonde. Portman chose this weekend’s Van Cleef & Arpels dinner to showcase her newly lightened locks as she joined her husband Benjamin Millepied at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for the opening night performance of L.A. Dance Project. Dressed in a shimmering embellished white Dior Haute Couture gown and Van Cleef & Arpels platinum and diamond Snowflake earrings, the actress laughed and joked with Robert Patiinson and Dita Von Teese.

The switch from her trademark brunette hair comes courtesy of a new film role, although Portman was reluctant to say which one. She did however reveal that Los Angeles based colourist Tracey Cunningham was responsible for the new look, and that having only undergone the change a couple of days earlier already “my mom says I’m like a different person”.

They say that blondes have more fun, and if these latest pics of a smiley, happy playful Natalie are anything to go by, we think in this case it may be true.
What do you think of Natalie’s transformation? Can she pull of being a blonde?
