Natalie Portman has just found the perfect answer to a question we all regularly ask ourselves when we leave the house in the morning: do we pick the shoes that look the best or the ones that are the most comfortable? According to Portman, we no longer have to pick. Her latest pair of It boots can do both. During Paris Fashion Week, we spotted the actress in the ultimate trend-meets-comfort boots in the audience of the Dior fashion show. What shoes, you ask? Comfortable, cool and versatile, biker boots are our favourite all-rounders of the season.
When we think of Natalie Portman, it’s not just her series of well-known films such as Black Swan and Star Wars that spring to mind. As a long-standing brand ambassador for Dior and the face of the “Miss Dior” fragrance, the actress can always be seen in the front row of the Maison’s fashion shows. For the latest show, which has just taken place at Paris Fashion Week, the actress’ look was predominantly black with a few silver details. She wore a glittering balloon skirt, a corset with lacing and buckles over it and a jacket with puffed sleeves, both in a velvet look. What caught our eye: Natalie Portman rounds off her outfit with flat black biker boots made from vegan leather, giving the overall look a touch of 90s grunge.

As you can guess from the name, biker boots have their origins in the motorcycle scene. These rather rough boots are characterised by thick soles, a wide shaft and the characteristic leather straps with metal buckles.
Windproof and weatherproof, comfortable and also chic? Check, check, check! For fashionistas, this may sound almost too good to be true. No wonder biker boots are making our fashion hearts beat faster this autumn. All the better that these It boots can be styled in so many different ways, whether it’s a grungy 90s-inspired look like Natalie Portman or a break in style with a playful dress and cable-knit sweater. Even those who prefer jeans will not miss out. After all, wide jeans with just the top of the boots peeking out also form a good foundation for a cool autumnal look.
In addition to Natalie Portman, several other high-profile guests at the Dior fashion show also provided plenty of styling inspiration. The looks featured current trends such as leopard print, the patent look and monochrome.
