Natalie Portman was spotted in attendance at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations event for her upcoming show Lady in the Lake on Friday.
The 43-year-old actress looked dazzling in a sleeveless, satin minidress adorned with colorful flowers and bright yellow details.
Her chic summer dress featured a plunging neckline, a flattering A-line skirt and a small bow tied in the middle of her midriff.
Teamed with her glamorous garb, she wore silver sandal heels with skinny straps and sported a crimson red manicure.
For the event, the Oscar winner — who turned heads in an edgy-chic, sexy look at the New York City premiere of Lady in the Lake on Thursday night — styled her brunette tresses in soft waves with one side pinned back to showcase her dainty, diamond-encrusted hoop earrings.

The Oscar winner looked stunning with a subtle, smoky eyeshadow look teamed with full lashes and a bright pink lipstick.
At the event, she took the stage to discuss her role as both leading actress and co-executive producer of the Apple TV+ limited series at The SAG-AFTRA Foundation Robin Williams Center in New York City.
Her latest project, which is based on the same-name novel by Laura Lippman, is set to premiere on the streaming service next week on July 19.
She was also seen posing with her co-star Moses Ingram as well as the creator of the series, Honey Boy director Alma Har'el, 48, on the red carpet.
Portman also joined Ingram and Har'el for a group photo alongside castmates Josiah Cross, Byron Bowers and Y'lan Noel.
In Lady in the Lake, Portman plays a Jewish housewife living in 1960s Baltimore named Maddie Schwartz, who is stirred by an unsolved murder.
'Seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist,' her life collides with Ingram's Cleo Johnson, a mother 'navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family.'
'Their disparate lives seem parallel at first, but when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo's mystifying death, a chasm opens that puts everyone around them in danger,' per the official synopis.

An official trailer released by Apple TV+ on June 18 showed Maddie doing chores and breaking a plate while declaring that she 'can't just be someone's wife.'
After packing a suitcase and leaving her home, she stood in the middle of a floor of newspaper clippings.
Addressing her off-screen, Cleo narrated: 'Your writing dreams ruined your life. Now, you wanted those same dreams to rewrite it. But why did you need to drag my dead body into it?
'You wanted to tell everyone's story but your own,' Cleo added.
At the end, Maddie is seen picking up a picture of herself from the pile of newspaper clippings.
Ominously, a voice is then heard saying: 'Every time someone turns up dead in the lake, it does seem to lead back to you.'
The mini series' star-studded cast also includes Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison and Pruitt Taylor Vince among many others.
After cast wrapped filming in Ingram's hometown Baltimore, Maryland, Portman spoke about why she was intrigued by the story and wanted to work on the project.

She told People in June: 'The basis of just a woman wanting to be free is [a] theme that's interesting to me. Another is just being a Jewish woman in Baltimore in the 1960s.
'My grandmother was from Baltimore, and so there was a lot of imagination for me about what that time was like,' she continued.
'And then, the other thing that was interesting to me was exploring how someone who's oppressed can also be an oppressor,' she added.
The debut episode of The Lady in the Lake premieres on Apple TV+ on July 19 with the rest of the seven total episodes airing on following Fridays.
