On the carpet, Us Weekly caught up with the Miss Dior brand ambassador, 35, who gushed about her first time in the director’s chair, to adapt author Amos Oz‘s autobiographical book. “I had always known I wanted to direct, but of course it had to be something incredibly personal and passionate for me,” she told Us. “Then when I read the book and I could visualize the film, immediately I knew that that was what I wanted to do.”

But it wasn’t all that easy. “You have to make 1,000 decisions a day as a director, and I found when I started I wasn’t always good at saying what I wanted,” she explained to Us. “By the end, of course, I was like, ‘I want that, that and that.’ If you say things in a kind and respectful way, everyone on your team wants [it too].”

Stay tuned to get even more details on Portman’s red carpet style, as well as her prim and proper look from a Good Morning America appearance earlier that day.
