Natalie Portman used to find dressing up for awards ceremonies "oppressive".
Natalie Portman loves the chance to get out of her sweats
Since having children, the 'Black Swan' star - who has Aleph, 12, and six-year-old Amalia with husband Benjamin Millepied - loves the chance to get out of her sweats and get glammed up.
However, the 42-year-old star used to feel like women got the short straw having to look their best whilst the men got to "roll out of bed" wear comfortable clothes.
Speaking on the 'SmartLess' podcast, she said: "You know, I used to think it was kind oppressive and like why do women have to spend all this time and discomfort and you know the men get to like roll out of bed and wear something they're warm in and like aren't, you know, sucking in their stomachs or whatever and now having kids I feel like it's pretty fun to like have people like make you feel good and go glam."
The 'May December' star also revealed that she has lots of sweats but that she can't be seen wearing them in fashion capital Paris, where she resides.
She said: "We moved to Paris last year and you really can't wear sweats in Paris."
She quipped: "You get your visa taken away."
Natalie, who moved to the French capital from Los Angeles, admitted: "It's really different lifestyle."
