Now, we’ve been loving this new era for Portman, especially when it comes to her daring fashion sense post-divorce. However, if you’re wondering what she gravitates to and why, that’s a bit hard to find. The beloved actress doesn’t often discuss her personal style, or even her jaw-dropping red carpet fashion, but she told People that her fashion is all about sustainability.

She said to the outlet that most of her looks fall into this category, saying, “I buy vintage clothes, and only if absolutely necessary, and of course, repair damaged items.”
