The Black Swan sensation's mini frock boasted a split opening at the center, which flashed the second layer.

She showed off her toned legs in the fashion-forward getup, which was punctuated with a pair of simple, open-toe black heels.

Portman pulled her hair back into a sleek chignon with a center part and face-framing pieces left out at the front. 

She looked beautiful as she stepped onto the red carpet with expertly applied smokey eyeshadow that brought out her hazel eyes.

Her cheeks were dusted in soft pink blush and she completed her cosmetics look with a matte, mauve-tone lipstick.

The silver screen siren wore diamond earrings and showed off a short, glossy, red manicure.

Ahead of the movie screening, she posed alongside 30-year-old co-star Moses Ingram.

Ingram plays Cleo Sherwood in the mini series, a mother juggling multiple jobs, who collides with Natalie's Maddie. 

Ingram arrived to the event in an ivory gown with bows on the straps and vertically places flower accoutrements lining the front.

Moses complemented her eye-catching dress with pointy-toe white heels, and her dark hair was pulled up into a big bun and styled with face-framing bangs.

Production designer JC Molina made a fashion statement in a red jersey, which was tucked into his pleated, wide-leg black trousers.

He added shiny black dress shoes and walked the red carpet with his brown hair cropped above his ears as he also rocked a mustache.

Back in June, the Illinois native used his Instagram platform to promote the series, which is based on the 2019 novel by Laura Lippman.

Sharing a trailer of the show, he wrote, 'After a year of hard work in Baltimore and a year and a half of post, it’s finally here…. The trailer for Lady in the Lake.'

He added, 'Thank you to everyone who was apart of making my vision of 1960s Baltimore into a reality.

'A special thanks to @francobavtista for keeping the wheels on this fast locomotive and for always being by my side assisting me.'

Speaking with People in June, Portman explained why Lady in the Lake appealed to her.

'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 1960,' the Israeli actress shared.

'My grandmother was from Baltimore, and so there was a lot of imagination for me about what that time was like.

'And then the other thing that was interesting to me was exploring how someone who's oppressed can also be an oppressor,' she added.
