The forthcoming movie is more than a mere homage to 1960s fashion — it follows Kennedy in the immediate aftermath of her husband’s assassination — but that won’t prevent style aficionados from analyzing every tilt of a pillbox hat placed upon Portman’s head. The first opportunity for that kind of analysis arrived Wednesday, with a [first look](http://deadline.com/2015/12/natalie-portman-first-photo-jackie-kennedy-pablo-larrain-ld-entertainment-1201668054/) at Portman as Kennedy reported by _Deadline_. In the picture, Portman is wearing what looks like a Dior-inspired, cherry-red dress with bateau neckline and sizable buttons, complemented by a triple strand of pearls. Given that Kennedy’s wardrobe was documented in nearly as much detail as her husband’s policy decisions, the blueprints for the movie’s costume design are already clear — but viewer expectations will be high. _Jackie_, currently filming in Paris, will costar Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig and John Hurt. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4152464/natalie-portman-jackie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4152464/natalie-portman-jackie/"},"headline":"See the First Photo of Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy in Jackie","datePublished":"2015-12-16T21:42:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:52.031Z","description":"The movie is due in 2017","url":"https://time.com/4152464/natalie-portman-jackie/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","natalie portman"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4152464/natalie-portman-jackie/","name":"See the First Photo of Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy in Jackie"}}]}] ```
