Long known for her vegetarianism, Natalie Portman swears that she never wears leather shoes in general or at red carpet events.
This doesn't leave the diva too many options. Until now she's been wearing shoes from Target and Stella McCartney.
Like other celebs who design their own clothing line or perfume, Portman has designed her own stylish line of limited edition shoes which she now sells through the New York boutique te casan for about $250 a pair.
The website, which also features other shoe designer's, says Portman's shoes are "dazzling, playful, elegant and free of animal products. ... Each shoe exudes the starlet's own personal style."
And Portman's own words? "As a vegan, it's been challenging finding designer shoes made of alternative materials. This collection offers a great selection without compromising quality or style."
Natalie Portman's ancient video on "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," has been featured here on TH, and dive into our green shoe guide, for more shoes that can help you tread lightly on this earth.
