First appearance since lockdown: Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied on a red carpet in Los Angeles

Usually a discreet couple, on social networks or in front of the cameras, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied appeared on Saturday October 16 on the red carpet of the L.A. Dance Project. The event took place in Los Angeles and aimed to raise funds for the collective of artists created by the French choreographer in 2012. For the occasion, the actress wore a black velvet dress by Thierry Mugler.

To discover

The last time we saw the couple on a red carpet was for the Oscars ceremony in February 2020. Before the first confinement, therefore. As a reminder, the actress and the choreographer met in 2009 on the set of Black Swan and still remain very secretive about their family and couple life. They are now parents of two children, Aleph (10 years old) and Amalia (4 years old).

That evening, many celebrities came to support the company of dance of the former director of the ballet of the Opera of Paris. Jane Fonda, Julie Deply, Andie MacDowell, or the director of Moonlight, Barry Jenkins, went through the photocall of the event. Apart from the Millepied couple, another couple particularly attracted the flashes of photographers: Jodie Foster and his wife, Alexandra Hedison, who had already captivated the crowd during the opening ceremony of the 74th Cannes Film Festival, in July 2021.
