“My dress was hand-beaded and took hundreds of hours of work, so I’m really lucky to get to wear this, it’s like a garden on a dress,” Portman told WWD, describing her Dior Haute Couture look.

The actress has long advocated for veganism and sustainability, and over the years, has brought up the topic during her red carpet interviews.

“It’s really exciting to see more companies putting forward sustainable and vegan materials,” Portman said to WWD. “I actually invest[ed] in a company called MycoWorks that produces mushroom leather, which a lot of luxury brands are now using.”

In 2023, MycoWorks opened its first full-fledged factory. Prior to that, in 2022, the company received $125 million in Series C funding to grow its business.
