Natalie Portman: Black Swan Rising

Lets get something straight, Natalie Portman is NOT a model.

I mean she’s a seriously talented actress, part time model, part time philanthropist, degree holder from Harvard, and now… Classical Ballet Dancer. She is featured in this section because her sheer ability to be whatever a camera (either moving or still) desires makes her MORE than just a model… she’s just fucking great.

In this, her 4th cover for VOGUE Magazine, she is showing off all that newfound ballet talent which she learned from her most recent movie BLACK SWAN (which BETTER to win an oscar or two). She, while working with famed photographer Peter Lindbergh has crafted what is simply a FLAWLESS editorial. It pulls at soft lighting and veritable grace to give the eyes something to just swoon over

so swoon away, at the images provided by JustJared and then head over to VOGUE where you can read the full article where she talks about her training for the role, her lesbian scene, and everything else.

and a trailer for BLACK SWAN for those of you who want to know what all the fuss is about
