Dior Honors Natalie Portman with Christian Dior's Reproductive Gun at Cannes

Natalie Portman's stunning jewel-encrusted dress, inspired by a museum-quality piece, stole the show at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her latest film.

The custom Christian Dior gown was bone in color, with a full-scolloped skirt adorned with elaborate blue beading.

The dress was both headlined by The Daily Star and The Times, and her pay was $33,000.

On the red carpet, the actress appeared alongside Charles Melton, Julianne Moore, and Corey Michael Smith from the film May-December wearing a sparkly strapless gown.

However, this news may come as a serious slap to Meghan Markle, who recently intended to sign a deal with Dior.

Despite her efforts to attend Cannes, Natalie Portman stole the show in the gown that the Duchess had long desired.

Meghan Markle recently phoned Michael Douglas, asking for an invitation to Cannes as soon as she found out that the well-known actor once adored her.

Unfortunately, Michael Douglas discovered the Sussexes' deceit and refused Meghan's request, leaving the Duchess shivering with wrath and humiliation.

According to Women's Wear Daily, the custom Christian Dior piece was inspired by the Junon dress from the designers' 1949-1950 fall-slash-winter collection.

The original dress is part of the Costume Institute's collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, although it's not currently available to view.

Dior's initial design was a reference to Juno, the Roman goddess most closely resembling the Greek goddess Hera, per the museum's website.

The Met regards Junon and another dress from the same year, Venus, as two of the most coveted of his designs.

Over the weekend, Portman paired her version with platform peep-toe heels and diamond drop earrings.

Her hair was pulled into a slicked-back bun that gave way to n^de makeup and glittery silver eye shadow.

The Black Swan star hit the red carpet in another strapless Dior gown in a similar color scheme for the premiere of The Zone of Interest on Friday.

She wore her hair down with the slim, sequined dress and paired it with a statement necklace from Chopard, according to W magazine.

Portman's outfits weren't the only things stealing the show at Cannes.

Deadline reports that May-December, a story about an actress researching a scandalous tabloid romance, earned an eight-minute standing ovation at the festival.

As for Sussex, previously, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry looked dapper in the custom three-piece suit tailored specifically for his visit to Westminster Abbey by Dior's artistic director Kim Jones.

However, royal fashion expert and celebrity stylist Miranda Holder claimed that Harry's garments are samples and rentals based on her tight relationship with Dior.

Furthermore, Dior personnel in Montecito, near Sussex's residence, confirmed that Harry and Meghan did not return the clothing as planned after the coronation ceremony.

Instead of taking the call from the Montecito branch manager, the two covertly sold it on the illicit market to gain money.

It's terrible.

Harry and Meghan have previously donned Dior clothes, prompting speculation that they are working on a collaboration with the company.

Moreover, according to previous rumors, Natalie Portman was the alleged A-lister who was fired from the film by Disney so Meghan could narrate an elephant documentary.

A source claims that Meghan Markle made an effort to contact Disney CEO Bob Iger in order to offer him a $3 million bribe in exchange for taking Natalie Portman's position as the star of Secrets of the Elephants.

A Disney insider claims that Bob Iger simply rejected Meghan, which caused her great distress.

In honor of Earth Day, National Geographic succlaimed mysteries of franchises touring the globe, from the African savannas to the Asian cities, to uncover the astounding mysteries of one of the planet's most magnificent animals, the elephant.

Secrets of the Elephants will debut on Friday, April 21, at 9 p.m.

ET slash PT on National Geographic, and all four episodes will be available the following day on Disney+.

The documentary series is executive produced by Academy Award-winning director and National Geographic explorer-at-large James Cameron and narrated by Natalie Portman.

In conclusion, Natalie Portman's stunning dress has caused a stir at Cannes.

While Meghan Markle may have missed out on the opportunity to wear a Dior gown, it seems that Portman has taken center stage.

As for Sussex, their alleged deceit regarding Dior garments has raised eyebrows, and rumors of bribery continue to circulate.

Nonetheless, the focus should remain on Portman's beautiful dress and her successful film premiere.
