The City Of Lights is proving to be an inspiration to Natalie Portman in more ways than one.

The 32-year-old actress illuminated the premiere of her new film Thor: The Dark World in Paris on Wednesday with her feminine presence and a recently chopped off 'do.

Natalie looked pretty in her A-line frock that was made from a frothy coffee-hued material dotted with little yellow and orange embroidered flowers.

The dress was deep in the neckline and tight at her slender waist, which was accentuated further by a slim dark brown band.

Strappy gold high heels gave her ensemble an added flourish, but it was Natalie's burnished brunette locks that stole the spotlight.

Her tresses were several inches shorter than what they had been only the night before for her film's London premiere.

Let's be blunt: The 32-year-old actress may have felt an edgy new look was needed after landing in The City Of Lights earlier in the day

Simple yet elegant, her hair was parted in the centre and fell in sleek, iron-straight bands on either side of her face, brushing the tops of her shoulder blades.

The newly shorn hairstyle is probably no coincidence, as Natalie will soon be leaving Los Angeles for Paris with Benjamin and their two-year-old son Aleph.

Benjamin, 36, has been named the director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet and begins his new prestigious post in September 2014.

'I'm really lucky. When Ben asked me if I wanted to go to Paris, I freaked. Everyone dreams of living in Paris,' Natalie told the November 2013 issue of Marie Claire.

The pair, who met on the set of 2010's Black Swan and wed in 2012, were the picture of contentment as they posed for photographers at Wednesday's film debut.

Also attending the Paris unveiling were director Alan Taylor and co-star Tom Hiddleston, who plays the loveable villain Loki.

The film is the long-awaited sequel to the 2011 hit Thor, in which Natalie reprises her role as Thor’s love interest, scientist Jane Foster.

Thor: The Dark World continues with the hero (Chris Hemsworth) setting off on a most dangerous and personal journey, one that will lead him back to Jane and force him to sacrifice everything for his people.
