When not trying to belch out horrible dialogue in Revenge of the Sith, Natalie Portman often scores big on the big screen. She is truly a class act.
The 25-year-old Portman, wearing the iconic black column dress worn by Hepburn in 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” graces the cover of the upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
…“I did feel very elegant suddenly,” Portman tells the magazine. “I mean, you can’t possibly measure up to Audrey Hepburn; there’s no comparison. But the elegance that she exuded was transmitted to the dress, you know, the feeling, the emotion of it.”
The dress, one of three versions made for the 1961 movie, will be sold to the highest bidder on Dec. 5 at Christie’s auction house in London. It’s expected to fetch as much as $130,000.
Proceeds from the dress will go to the City of Joy Aid charity, which provides aid to India’s poor.
Though she is duely humble about the lack of comparison to the film legend, I could think of no one better to model this dress off to promote the charity.
