Natalie Portman Called Out The Double Standards Women Face At Cannes A Day Before Jennifer Lawrence Was Critiqued For Wearing Flip Flops On The Red Carpet Instead Of Heels,“The expectations are different on you all the time, and it affects how you behave — whether you're buying into it, whether you're rejecting it, or whether you're doing something in between.”
Natalie Portman Called Out The Double Standards Women Face At Cannes A Day Before Jennifer Lawrence Was Critiqued For Wearing Flip Flops On The Red Carpet Instead Of Heels
Natalie Portman has called out the double standards women face at Cannes Film Festival.
Samir Hussein / WireImageSpeaking out about the project during a press conference on May 20, Natalie discussed how the movie is about “the different roles we play in different environments.”
Pool / Getty Images“The whole film is so much about performance and the different roles we play in different environments, for different people, for ourselves,” she told reporters.
Pool / Getty Images“Of course, performing femininity is, I think, a recurring theme in Todd’s films as well, and something I’m definitely very curious about and interested in,” she added.
Pool / Getty ImagesNatalie went on to discuss how this theme of “performing femininity” was also prevalent in real life at Cannes, calling out the “different ways” that women are “expected to behave” and “supposed to look” at the festival.
Mike Marsland / Mike Marsland / WireImage“Even here — the different ways we as women are expected to behave at this festival even compared to men,” she said.
Pool / Getty Images“How we’re supposed to look, how we’re supposed to carry ourselves,” she explained.
Axelle / FilmMagic“The expectations are different on you all the time, and it affects how you behave — whether you’re buying into it, whether you’re rejecting it, or whether you’re doing something in between,” she added. “You’re definitely defined by the social structures upon you.”
Emma Mcintyre / WireImageSeveral social media users agreed with Natalie’s comments, taking to Twitter to express their thoughts on the subject.
Samir Hussein / WireImage“Unfortunately it’s true,” one person wrote, while someone else agreed that “she’s right.”
Samir Hussein / WireImageAnd Natalie’s remarks were all the more interesting in light of the strict rules around women’s clothing at Cannes — something that has been an ongoing topic of discussion for years.
Daniele Venturelli / WireImageIt’s widely reported that the organizers of Cannes insist that the women in attendance wear heels at all the events.
Valery Hache / AFP via Getty ImagesThe unspoken rule has been defied by celebrities time and again over the years. In 2018, Kristen Stewart protested by taking off her Christian Louboutin heels while she was halfway down the red carpet. Just a couple of years prior, in 2016, Julia Roberts had done the same thing.
Andreas Rentz / Getty ImagesAnd this year, several celebrities have protested the rule once more. Cate Blanchett arrived barefoot, Isabelle Huppert wore what Vogue have described as “naked shoes,” and, perhaps most notably, Jennifer Lawrence walked the red carpet in a pair of flip flops.
Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Corbis via Getty ImagesJennifer’s decision to walk the carpet in flip flops came just a day after Natalie’s comments. Yet, she was still labeled “tacky” over her choice of footwear by internet users who called the move “highly illegal.”
Patricia De Melo Moreira / AFP via Getty ImagesBut, on the other hand, many fans praised Jen for opting for “comfort” over style and making a statement.
Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Corbis via Getty Images“What a Queen. Comfort is key!!” someone tweeted.
