Natalie Portman trades her signature red-carpet polish for a refreshingly low-key, but no less intentional, on-set wardrobe while filming her new movie in New York City.
In the whirlwind of celebrity fashion, where every street sighting can feel like a meticulously orchestrated runway moment, Natalie Portman offers a masterclass in dressed-down ease. On a sun-drenched New York City street, the actress was photographed between scenes for her upcoming film, “Good Sex,” and the looks were a study in casual-cool. It’s a reminder that true style isn’t about extravagance, but about a confident, effortless embrace of the moment.
In one scene, Portman unveils an all-white ensemble that feels both relaxed and perfectly put together. A simple, fitted white T-shirt—a wardrobe staple if ever there was one—is paired with a pair of slouchy, cream-colored sweatpants. The cut is modern, not sloppy, creating a streamlined silhouette that’s elevated by a pair of chunky, neutral-toned platform shoes. She’s seen carrying a plastic cup with a dark drink, a minor detail that adds a dash of real-life, mid-day energy to the polished-casual vibe. Her hair is styled in loose, natural waves, framing a subtle, dewy makeup look that screams effortless beauty.
Another look captured on set demonstrates a similar commitment to casual elegance. Portman debuts a long, khaki trench coat worn open over a blue-and-white striped shirt, creating a cool, breezy silhouette. The coat’s loose fit and the high side slit add a touch of playful sophistication. She pairs this with dark shorts, but the most striking details are the accessories: a casual purple baseball cap, white crew socks, and a pair of shiny black loafers with a gold buckle. It’s a look that’s unexpected and yet entirely cohesive. Are we seeing the rise of “whiplash chic”—that is, a style that intentionally blends high and low, formal and informal? This on-set fashion serves as a fascinating counterpoint to Portman’s public persona, where she often attends premieres in breathtaking couture from Dior, the brand for which she is an ambassador. Her current, decidedly unfussy aesthetic suggests a new kind of “method dressing,” where the everyday clothing reflects a character’s grounded reality. Perhaps this is the ultimate luxury: a wardrobe that is not a performance, but a genuine extension of oneself.
Mishka Silva unveils a series of stunning black-and-white portraits—a vintage-inspired (and utterly romantic) moment that feels like a whisper from another era.
There is a certain magic to a black-and-white photograph; it strips away the noise and allows the eye to focus entirely on texture, light, and form. Mishka Silva taps into that timeless allure with a recent photoshoot that captures her in a breathtaking, ethereal light. The images, which surfaced in August 2025, present a softer, more romantic side of the model, a beautiful departure from the glossy, high-definition world of digital media.
The centerpiece of the session is a single garment: a delicate, off-the-shoulder bodysuit crafted from intricate white lace. It’s a study in quiet elegance, with a bustier-style bodice that transitions into sheer, flowing sleeves adorned with a circular lace pattern. The sleeves drape gently over her arms, framing the soft lines of her décolletage. This is not a look built for the runway, but for a more intimate, thoughtful kind of gaze—one that appreciates the whisper of fabric against skin and the subtle play of light and shadow.
Silva’s styling is intentionally minimal, allowing the delicate garment and her natural beauty to take center stage. Her long, dark hair is styled in loose, tousled waves, giving the impression of an undone, effortless quality that is both raw and captivating. Her makeup is understated, with a focus on a luminous, natural glow that enhances her features without overpowering them. The setting is equally simple, a rustic, textured backdrop that feels almost like an ancient wall, complete with a potted plant that adds an organic, lived-in feel to the images. The atmosphere is one of serene contemplation, a quiet moment frozen in time.
These portraits offer a fascinating look at the enduring power of classic aesthetics. While trends come and go, the appeal of vintage-inspired lace, captured with the gravitas of black-and-white film, is a constant. It’s a nostalgic nod to a different kind of glamour, one that values subtlety over spectacle.
Racing phenom Bianca Bustamante unveils a seamless blend of trackside grit and polished elegance, proving that high-speed confidence (and a killer leather jacket) is the ultimate accessory for a Tatler Philippines cover.
There’s a particular kind of power in a well-styled photograph, but what happens when that power comes from a world beyond the lens? For her feature in Tatler Philippines , published in August 2025, Bianca Bustamante gives us the answer: a masterclass in controlled duality. The racing prodigy, known for her fearless turns on the track, proves her stylistic prowess is just as sharp, trading her race suit for a series of looks that are both a celebration of her sport and a vision of sleek, modern glamour.
The first look presents the athlete in her element—but with an editorial twist. Dressed in a minimalist white sports bra and a simple black skirt, she holds her personalized racing helmet. The helmet, with its vibrant purple, yellow, and red design, complete with “Lee” and “Cisco” branding, becomes the focal point, the ultimate accessory that grounds the entire image. This isn’t just athletic wear; it’s a statement of identity. The sleek lines and clean silhouette are a perfect visual metaphor for the precision and focus required in her sport. Then, the mood shifts. In a more intimate, moodier shot, Bustamante trades her sporty separates for a high-fashion ensemble. Seated poised, she dons a dark, sleeveless minidress with a flared, structured skirt. Draped over her shoulders is a sleek black leather jacket, its texture and sheen a bold contrast to the soft fabric of the dress. Black pointed-toe heels complete the look, a quiet but firm statement of sophisticated femininity. Behind her, trophies and racing memorabilia subtly inform the narrative, a reminder of the victories that have earned her this moment in the spotlight. From the high-octane world of motorsport to the curated pages of a glossy magazine, Bustamante’s styling tells a cohesive story. Her hair, in a casual, half-swept style or pulled back in a tidy bun, maintains a sense of effortless cool. The makeup is clean and natural, focusing on a healthy glow that feels authentic, not manufactured.
Is this the new power suit? The off-duty uniform for a generation of female athletes who are also becoming cultural icons? Absolutely. Bianca Bustamante’s Tatler Philippines feature solidifies her place not just as a force on the circuit, but as a fearless, confident voice in fashion—a true champion of both speed and style.
