Natalie
Portman Slams Hollywood's Fashion Obsession
12/3/07
Actress Natalie Portman has slammed Hollywood's obsession with fashion,
branding the attention paid to clothing labels "annoying".
The 26-year-old Closer star only agrees to wear designer frocks to red
carpet events to avoid giving fashion critics an opportunity to mock her.
She says, "I get pissed off that I go to a premiere to talk about
my movie and the first thing they ask me is what dress I'm wearing. And
look, I buy into that because I play along - you have to, in a certain
way. If you don't dress up then they'll talk about that!
"It almost becomes less of an issue to play along with it, because
then it doesn't become a conversation topic. But that's annoying."
