Natalie Portman rang in the New Year with a sizzling bikini moment.
The Black Swan actress was spotted enjoying a laid-back beach day in St. Barts on New Year’s Day, where she wore a plunging blue one-piece swimsuit by Lenny Niemeyer while relaxing at Saline Beach on the Caribbean island. Portman showed off her toned physique as she played in the crystal-blue water, her hair slicked back and wet, complemented by a bold red manicure that felt festive for the holiday.
After soaking up the sun, Portman covered up in a denim patchwork mini skirt—a style she’s worn before—paired with black flip-flops and two beige tote bags filled with her essentials as she strolled down the street.

Fans on Instagram praised the actress for her effortless beauty.
“Is that cobalt blue? love it!” said one user. A second said, “She is one of the most beautiful actresses.” A third wrote, “Wow, that body is bodying.” A fourth noted, “She is perfect.”
While the Dior ambassador was enjoying her time away and preparing to return to work, she—along with several other celebrities—remained stranded on the island due to ongoing political developments that disrupted travel.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy reportedly closed airspace around a group of nations, including Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago, on Saturday night amid an operation involving Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. As a result, flights were grounded across the region.
Natalie Portman Among The Celebrities Stuck In St. Barts
Several celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Queen Latifah, and Mike Tyson, were forced to extend their New Year’s vacations. While some, like DiCaprio and Cuba Gooding Jr., eventually found alternate routes home, DiCaprio notably missed the Palm Springs Film Awards—a moment that later became a running joke at the Critics Choice Awards, which he did attend.
According to Page Six, Portman remains stranded with “lots of work commitments to get back to this week,” including the Golden Globes, where she is nominated for Arco. Thousands of tourists—including high-profile travelers—were affected by the disruption, with many attempting to secure alternative flights or boat transfers to nearby islands such as St. Maarten.
Although the airspace ban was lifted at midnight Eastern Time on Sunday, January 4, major airlines—including Delta, United, and American—have continued to grapple with a massive backlog of canceled flights and scheduling delays, leaving many travelers, Portman included, still waiting for an available seat.
