Natalie Portman Shows Off How To Elevate These Street Style Basics

NEW YORK, NY – JULY 21: Natalie Portman is seen on July 21, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by XNY/Star Max/GC Images) While onset filming for Lena Dunham's upcoming romantic comedy Good Sex this week, Natalie Portman showed off some elevated street style we'll surely be looking to emulate when the weather gets warmer down here in the Southern Hemisphere. The actress was seen wearing a green cropped cardigan over cut-off denim shorts which were folded over at the waist. The look was paired with white sneakers and gold hoops. A relaxed and comfy look which still allowed for personality – the ideal street style formula. Portman later elevated the casual look with a beige calf-length coat and a silk scarf tied at the neck, featuring the same shade of sea-foam green as her sweater. A small black shoulder bag and black sunglasses were also added. This version may serve as more apt style inspiration for those who find a crop top and denim shorts alone to be missing the flair they require.

One look saw the actress in a Prada button up blouse, styled with a black mini skirt and patent leather loafers. On the opposite end of the sartorial spectrum, the actress was also seen filming in an oversized beige shirt with grey sweatpants and a tote bag.

Surprising Aussie star set to play Anne Hathaway's love interest in Devil Wears Prada sequel - as filming gets underway in New York

He's the hunky star of the Aussie streaming hit Colin from Accounts. And now Patrick Brammall is heading to the US to appear alongside Hollywood beauty Anne Hathaway in the long-awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. There's no official word on what role the 49-year-old Canberra-born actor will play in the romantic comedy, which reunites many of the cast of the 2006 hit. New Idea reported on Tuesday that, in a surprising casting move, Brammall is set to play the love interest of Hathaway's character. Currently shooting in New York, the sequel will see the 42-year-old star reprise her role as fashion scribe Andy Sachs. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. According to reports, Adrian Grenier, of Entourage fame, who appeared in the original Prada film as Andy's boyfriend, will not be returning. Meanwhile, Brammall confirmed his part in the new film with a celebratory post to his Instagram. The fan favourite shared a screengrab from industry blog Deadline announcing his exciting new gig which he signed with a cheeky caption that said: 'Girding my loins'. The sequel will reunite Hathaway with original star, Hollywood legend and Oscar winner Meryl Streep, who returns as her ruthless fashion guru character Miranda Priestly. Original cast members Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci will also reprise their roles, alongside new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet. Also joining the cast is American actress Rachel Bloom, from Stan's streaming hit Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. In the sequel, Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs - setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics. While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy's post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theatres on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original film strutted into pop culture history. It comes after Brammall and his partner Harriet Dyer welcomed a baby girl into the world in February. The happy couple, who also play on-screen love interests in their series Colin From Accounts, announced the news to Instagram. Sharing a reel of family images, the parents revealed their newborn's sweet name. 'Welcoming little Mabel. We love her so much and we're all very grateful. 2/2/2025,' Harriet, 36, wrote. Harriet and Patrick first became parents in September 2021 when they adopted Joni from her 'incredible birth mother'. The married couple, who tied the knot in 2021, co-created Colin From Accounts and the series has risen to global acclaim since its 2022 launch. The first series explored the lives of Ashley and Gordon, two complex individuals who are brought together following a fateful car accident and an injured dog. The pair launched a second successful series last year.

Clueless cast members look very different as movie celebrates 30th anniversary

The wildly popular '90s romantic comedy Clueless is celebrating its 30th anniversary on July 19... but do you recognize the cast today? The original 1995 movie, which is loosely based on Jane Austen's novel Emma, starred Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, the late Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, Breckin Meyer, and Donald Faison. The Amy Heckerling-directed movie was a surprise box office smash and made $88million with a budget of $12million. Three decades later the rom-com has maintained such a devoted following that it sparked a teen sitcom, an off-Broadway musical, and a forthcoming TV series. Fans were left divided by the announcement of a Clueless television series at Peacock, with Alicia set to reprise her iconic role. However, the upcoming series will be written by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage who worked on Gossip Girl and The O.C. which gave millennial Clueless lovers hope for the eventual reboot - plus, Silverstone is returning to the small screen. Despite the movie's popularity and the cast skyrocketing to superstardom from relative obscurity, plenty of drama followed them after the film's premiere. Now, Daily Mail is revealing how the surprising blockbuster transformed the lives of the cast, who were plagued by addiction issues, multiple divorces, and a whole range of controversies. These days, Silverstone, 48, looks nothing like the plaid-wearing, preppy fashionista she shot to fame playing when she was only 18. She often dresses down in neutral tones and has lived a much more granola life than her bougie Beverly Hills counterpart. The vegan lifestyle blogger has found herself in hot water many times over the years for her parenting beliefs, including saying her son Bear has never needed medicine thanks to being vegan and taking baths with her son during quarantine. The star also posted a video in which she fed her infant by chewing food and then transferring it from her mouth straight to his, which proved to be quite controversial as a parenting technique. Alicia shares Bear with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, who she was married to from 2005 to 2018. They share joint legal and physical custody and she pays him spousal support. While she might seem as far removed as possible from glamorous Cher, Alicia has revisited the character who made her famous over the years. Most recently she reprised the role during a Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten, stepping back into her famous yellow plaid ensemble. Stacey Dash, 58, played Cher's best friend Dionne, a fellow Beverly Hills preppy party girl. Unlike Silverstone, Dash reprised her role for the Clueless TV series in 1996. Since her time on Clueless she has proven to be quite the controversial figure, with multiple divorces, a Fox firing, and a mugshot to her name. Over the years, Dash has opened up about her abusive upbringing and her struggles with drugs, admitting that she was taking 18 to 20 Vicodin pills a day at the height of her addiction. The right wing anchorwoman has also proven quite controversial. The former commentator was fired by Fox News in 2016 after she claimed Barack Obama 'didn't give a s***' about terrorism. Dash drew intense criticism for backing Donald Trump's statement after the 2017 Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally in Virginia when he said there were 'very fine people on both sides,' as well as for defending Trump's claim that Mexican immigrants were drug traffickers, rapists and criminals and calling for an end to celebrating Black History Month. In a DailyMailTV interview in March 2021, Dash apologized for any hurt she had caused, blaming her 'arrogant pride and anger' and vowed to withdraw from politics. Dash has also dealt with a myriad of serious issues in her personal life. The star has been married and divorced four times and has two children. In September 2019, Dash was arrested for alleged domestic assault towards then-husband Jeffrey Marty, after she called 911 to report he 'put her in a chokehold.' Marty later bailed her out and case was dropped on his request. Heartthrob Justin Walker, 55, played potential love interest Christian Stovitz, who was Cher's crush until she realized he wasn't interested in women after her failed seduction. Walker disappeared from the spotlight and now looks quite different, sporting salt and pepper locks instead of '90s heartthrob hair. Walker went on to appear in an episode of Pamela Anderson's V.I.P and a Pizza Hut ad and later ran California restaurant Teddy Teadle's Grill before launching a fantasy sport wagering website. Of course, Brittany Murphy, who played outsider Tai Frasier who gets the ultimate cool girl makeover, met the most tragic end of all. After her breakout role in Clueless, Brittany went on to star in hit films like Girl Interrupted, Uptown Girl,s and Riding In Cars With Boys. She then married English filmmaker Simon Monjack in 2007. However, their life together was cut short when in December 2009, the actress suddenly passed away at just 32 from pneumonia, which was said to be exacerbated by iron-deficiency anemia and an overdose of legal drugs. For some luckier actors, Clueless proved to be a star making moment that didn't lead to behind-the-scenes issues. Jeremy Sisto, who played popular high schooler Elton in Clueless, went on to star in more than 20 movies, including Thirteen and Waitress. Sisto also appeared in Six Feet Under, Suburgatory (which Silverstone played his love interest), Law & Order and FBI. Donald Faison, 51, who played Dash's popular boyfriend Murray, went on to reprise his role in the TV series and take off from there. The dad of six starred in Scrubs alongside pal Zach Braff. Breckin Meyer, 51, who appeared as Tai's love interest, the stoner skateboarder Travis, went on to star in Road Trip, Rat Race, Garfield, and Robot Chicken. Paul Rudd, who starred as Cher's handsome college step-brother Josh Lucas, has had a massive Hollywood career ever since his debut film and managed to avoid any drama in his personal life. Rudd, 55, starred as Marvel's Ant-Man and appeared in classic comedy movies like Anchorman and Ghostbusters.

Dakota Johnson's ‘Materialists' Arrives On Streaming This Week, Report Says

Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in "Materialists." Materialists, a hit romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, is reportedly coming to digital streaming this week. Rated R, Materialists premiered in theaters on June 13. The official logline for the movie reads, 'A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker (Johnson) finds herself torn between the perfect match (Pascal) and her imperfect ex (Evans).' Materialists is written and directed by Song, who was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for her 2023 romantic drama Past Lives. According to When to Stream, Materialists is expected to arrive on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, July 22. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that the release date for Materialists has not been announced or confirmed by its studio, A24, and it is subject to change. When Materialists arrives on PVOD, it will be available for purchase for $24.99. Since rentals on PVOD are generally $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent the film on PVOD for $19.99 for 48 hours. Materialists will be available for purchase or rent on several digital platforms, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube. Celine Song Says Dakota Johnson Was Her Perfect Matchmaker When it came to casting Dakota Johnson as Lucy, the matchmaker in Materialists, Celine Song told Variety prior to the film's release in June that it started with 'how funny Dakota is, which is really important for the character.' 'I feel like Dakota has this shell to protect herself and approaches the world in a professional and beautiful way,' Song told Variety. 'If you push through that shell, inside, there's a very deep soul. I love that she's as delicate as an egg. I just fell in love with her heart, generally speaking, because she cares so much.' Materialists, which is still playing in theaters, has earned $35.7 million domestically and $14.4 million internationally for a worldwide box office gross of $50.1 million. Materialists had a $20 million production budget before prints and advertising, per The Numbers. The film also earned a 79% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 224 reviews and a 67% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 1,000-plus verified user ratings. Materialists is expected to be released on PVOD on Tuesday.
