Continuing to make the most of her time overseas, Natalie Portman was on hand for the Hollywood Foreign Press Asscociation Cocktail Party in Venice, Italy on Thursday night (September 2). Held at Style Lounge, the 29-year-old actress was decked out in a purple Jason Wu frock as she joined her “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky while promoting their movie during the 67th Venice Film Festival. As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Portman helped to premiere “Black Swan” the previous day - with Natalie and the movie getting quite the warm reception. Screen International’s Mike Goodridge said, “If the film is ultimately too unsettling to snag main prizes, it has at least one nomination in the bag for lead actress Natalie Portman who gives one of ‘those’ performances, transforming herself after 10 months of training into an accomplished ballerina, almost uncomfortable to watch as she consumes her difficult role.”
