Natalie Portman Rescues ‘Vox Lux’ Co-Star Raffey Cassidy From Dress Mishap On Venice Film Festival Red Carpet

By Aynslee Darmon.

Raffey Cassidy has a friend in her “Vox Lux” co-star, Natalie Portman.

When Portman, 37, noticed the 16-year-old actress was having trouble with her stunning light blue gown at the Venice Film Festival premiere of the film, she saved Cassidy from a fashion faux pas.

In the sweet photo, the “Black Swan” actress knelt down in her couture Gucci gown to fix the young star’s dress.
