Portman arrived at the Dior Spring/Summer 2025 show on September 25, dressed head-to-toe in the brand.

The hint of shine in an otherwise unsuspecting manicure is what makes it so fun.

A glossy top coat gave the look another layer of shine.

A lace-up black top, gemstone-encrustedbubble skirt,and knee-high blackmotorcycle bootsmade up her outfit.

Of course, Portman’s outfit was the statement of her look, so her makeup was more pared-back.

It’s safe to say we’ll be copying her nails all fall long.
