It’s easy to forget that Natalie Portman has had her own style for decades because she has played so many classic parts with recognizable looks (like Jackie Kennedy in Jackie and Princess Amidala in the Star Wars trilogy). Although Portman is best known for having a shoulder-length bob, she cut her hair short for 2005’s V for Vendetta and showed that she wasn’t immune to the ’00s fascination with side-swept bangs and beachy waves. Here are some of Portman’s most memorable looks throughout her career, from a flapper-inspired red carpet turn to her signature look (all in honey-blonde, of course).
