Is Natalie Portman "bleh"?

Platinum Gold, Kirsten Dunst is much older. Why would I want to compare or contrast the two? Edit: Okay, I saw more information and pics of Kirsten. I would give credits to Kirsten here. On the face, I'm not sure. She looks like she has baby fat or something and really isn't very pretty. Her face seems friendlier to make overs, though (unlike Natalie's). When you add face and body, I think Kirsten beats Natalie. Kirsten for one has a much nicer body, which adds a plus (no, I'm not talking about boobs, for boobs don't matter much to me).

Lowtech, funny, I think Portman looks better in her natural appearance than with the touched look (amongst your pics). However, I still don't think she's hot or beautiful. I wouldn't say she's "ugly", but she's about average or slightly below (in my opinion of course).

P.S.: She does seem to have a not very nice hair that's difficult to take care of without using perm or something.

Edit II: Here are two best pics I've seen of Natalie: Natalie 1; Natalie 2.

Obviously there was major make over done. However, if she looked that way most of the time, I would give her the hot title.

That first photo of her is a little whacked. Something with the makeup around her eyes, maybe.

Yeah almost makes her look Oriental
 
I have a friend who was in the same dorm building as Natalie Portman at Harvard. She said that she looked horribly skinny without all the makeup.

Edited to make Encryptic happy. 😀

Yes, she is a very petite woman.

She was building a Natalie Portman in her dorm? What is this, Weird Science? 😀

wow, makeup makes people look fat. interesting observation.


MB she had a body double in Star Wars, but i thought she looked pretty good in AOTC. Especially the shot where her mid section is showing, i'm a sucker for nice stomachs.
 
Metalloid, that's a very pretty picture of her that you have linked there. I like portrait pics. You can be fooled to think it's the person's natural look, but it's all touched too. It's beautiful, nonetheless. I hadn't seen the pic before. You know, I'm not particularly a fan of movies that Portman acts in (i.e., they happen not to be my kind of movies).

P.S.: Cluelis, she doesn't look "horribly" skinny in most pics I've seen of her. Only in a couple does she look that way. "Skinny" seems like such a subjective term, as does "plump" or "fat".
 
She's pretty, in a very approachable way... She would be someone I wouldn't hesitate to sit down next to, and just start talking about whatever.. she seems like she's "normal" for hollywood standards...

 
She is a millionaire, a super model, a movie star, a goes to Harvard, and sleeps with Jedi-Knights.

But, apparently, she is not quite up to ATOT standards.

wtf?

It was more in terms of her facial features. She doesn't have those anorexic sunken cheeks that she apparently otherwise has. They probably use makeup and/or digital editing to fill out her face.

"She is a millionaire, a super model, a movie star, a goes to Harvard, and sleeps with Jedi-Knights."

Okay, Glen, when in the world did Natalie become a supermodel? I would have to puke if that happened. Or maybe Glen can't tell supermodel from actresses' faces used on the cover of magazines. 😉 She's an actress, so I don't expect much from her in looks, in spite of efforts by the media to elevate the status of the actresses into model status. (I was just responding to question from a member here.) However, if she's a model, then of course I would be critical, since that's what modelling is about (i.e., the body).

Cluelis . . . I'm sorry, but I find that statement ridiculous. Body speaks louder than face. Her body can't be painted to look bigger than it is, except if they put some kind of material on her. If her body tells me she isn't too skinny or anorexic, then maybe she isn't. I know very skinny people who have fat on the face. The same is true for someone who's just normal but has a very thin face. It says nothing about being anorexic. Besides, people don't stay the same for ever. Maybe she gained weight since your friend saw her.
