Natalie Portman Nude Photo Shoot for Charity

Needless to say, a naked or nude photo shoot of Jewish actor Natalie Portman is naturally noteworthy

The 31-year-old newlywed, Natalie Portman, has gone (tastefully) nude in a new campaign for Dior beauty (because what better way to promote a new line of lipcolor than by removing all sartorial surplus?).

The Israeli-born, Harvard-educated, and all-around awesome actress has been snapped in the buff before for Dior to hawk their Miss Cherie fragrance. But when (now former) Dior designer John Galliano hurled anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris bar early last year, Ms. Portman came out condemning him and quit the company, saying that “as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way.”

Fortunately for fans of her body of, er, work, Galliano’s replacement Raf Simons seems like a stand-up guy. And Natalie’s campaign bares a little of her (kind) soul to boot: proceeds from the new eight-shade lipstick collection will go to the Free the Children Foundation, and she personally picked the stick of Grège #169 for her mouth make-up. “I chose the color Grège because it’s the one I’d pick to wear myself,” she said in a press release. From your painted lips to our eager ears, Ms. Portman.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism so that we can be prepared for whatever news the rest of 2025 brings.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Membership Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
