Gearing up for a flight to Italy for the Venice Film Festival, Natalie Portman and boyfriend Benjamin Millepied were spotted at JFK International Airport yesterday (August 30).

The “Garden State” babe looked beautiful as she strolled through the terminal in a navy blue micro dot dress with a matching pea coat.

Natalie will be doing some promotional duties while in Venice as her new film “Black Swan” will be featured at the festival.

Director Darren Aronofsky bragged about Natalie’s involvement in the film during a recent interview. “One of the best things about the film is the casting of Natalie. She took the part and ran with it. I don’t know if when I was working with the writers we were consciously channeling Natalie or Natalie somehow transformed herself to the part, but they grew together. I first talked with Natalie about this project at least 10 years ago. We were in Times Square and had a coffee at the old Howard Johnson. I had this idea of setting something in the ballet world. It was very loose. I didn’t have a script. And then I found out she was fascinated by ballet and wanted to play a dancer.”Photo Credit: INF Daily
