Natalie Portman looked stunning as she adopted a traditional Indian look on the set of her new film, New York I love you.

Adorned with lavish gold jewellery, the 26-year-old Star Wars actress wore ruby-coloured crystals along her forehead for scenes in which she attends an Indian wedding ceremony in Brooklyn.

The film, an anthology joining several love stories set in the Big Apple, sees Portman playing a Jewish bride, a role she can easily identify with.
