Clearly, Natalie Portman and her stylist Kate Young enjoy pulling what we call a Sharon Stone wearing great designer clothes (Stone favored Vera Wang, Valentino, Versace), but then suddenly pulling a fast one and switching it up like Sharon Stone did by wearing a Gap turtleneck to the Oscars one year. Natalie wore Lanvin for H M to one event this season but shes a friend of Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, so that didnt seem too strange.
