08/08/2023 Darling of the Day: Natalie Portman’s Preppy Off-Duty Look for Less!

Posted on by

During a recent trip to Sydney, Australia, Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman attended the Angel City Equity Summit to support Angel FC, the National Women’s Soccer League she co-founded, as reported by People. As paparazzi focused more on the Natalie’s missing wedding ring amid rumors & scandal surrounding her 11-year marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied, Natalie makes a case for confident & poise in her preppy off-duty look.

The casual, yet classic button-down shirt, jeans, blazer, & loafer combo doesn’t feel dated as she keeps it fresh, inspiring Style Darlings everywhere to recreate the look on a budget. So many of these pieces are staples that can be swapped out for a variety of outfits, but I took the time to assemble the look with affordable & inclusive picks.

SHOP: A New Day long sleeve Oxford button-down shirt in white @Target ($25.00, available in sizes XS-4X) & high-waisted OG straight button-fly extra-stretch jeans in Kittykat @Old Navy (on sale: $40.00, available in sizes 00-30).

SHOP: Nine West double breasted blazer in micro check @Kohl’s (on sale: $58.50, available in sizes XS-XXL) & Liz Claiborne regular fit blazer in coral haze multi @JC Penney (on sale: $32.69, available in sizes XS-XXL).

SHOP: A New Day Hayes loafer flats in black @Target ($19.99, available in sizes 5-12) & ASOS DESIGN wide fit Lakeside slipper ballet flats in black @ASOS ($23.00, available in sizes 5W-12W).

SHOP: A New Day plastic round sunglasses in black @Target ($15.00), Sonoma Goods for Life textured teardrop drop earrings in silver @Kohl’s (on sale: $12.60), & A New Day Refined crossbody bag in black @Target ($30.00).

Even if you wanted to simply wear the button-down shirt with jeans, you could top it off with virtually any kind of blazer–any cut or color. Likewise, you could take out the loafers & add ankle boots, ballet flats, or mules. Additionally, depending on the blazer color you choose, you could even select gold or rose gold jewelry to add some sparkle & dimension.
