In case you missed it, Natalie Portman is pregnant! Expecting her third child—her first with French music producer Tanguy Destable—the actor stepped out in Paris, where she has planned to spend her pregnancy. And if her classic “Parisian chic” look was any indication, her maternity style is going to be one to watch.

For her first outing since she broke the news, Portman bundled up in an army-green Hermès number from the 1970s. The vintage outerwear sat somewhere between a single-breasted pea coat and a high-low cape, with double-layer construction that brought together the best of both worlds.

The coat, featuring a little collar and oversize buttons, was fastened shut around her baby bump. In contrast, the cape blew in the wind, opening to reveal a houndstooth lining. Portman paired the piece with straight-leg blue jeans and heeled black boots.

“Tanguy and I are very excited,” she revealed exclusively to Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”

Portman welcomed her two children, son Aleph and daughter Amalia, in 2011 and 2017, respectively. Both were from her previous marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied, with whom she split from in 2024.

Now, at age 44, the actor has expressed how “lucky” she has felt to be pregnant again. “There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,” she explained. “And there’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day. And knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.”
