London: Black Swan star Natalie Portman says the fashion industry is very surreal. The 31-year-old actress, who wed French choreographer Benjamin Millepied in August after meeting him on the set of the 2009 hit, said one of the strangest moments of her life was being fitted for an haute couture gown in the middle of Benjamin's family home, reported Contactmusic.
"Fashion has put me in some strange situations. I was being fitted for a Christian Dior couture dress last year at my husband Benjamin Millepied's house. "His whole family were sitting there, just having a cup of tea, while all these amazing artisans worked around me to create this absolute incredible dress, that was pretty surreal," she said.
The brunette beauty is widely admired for her classic and elegant look, but she said it is fun to take fashion risks and make drastic changes to her appearance. "I make many sacrifices for my job - if I'm in a period film, I know I can't be a certain shape because I need to be able to adapt to the costume.
"It is a lot of fun as an actor to be able to disguise yourself, like shaving my head in 'V for Vendetta'. It's good to surprise people and to be different from what they expect you to be."
