Léon is the story of a young girl with abusive and neglectful parents, and her hitman neighbor who teaches her his trade. Since its release in 1994, the film has become a cult classic and inspired countless Halloween costumes, but 12 years after its release, the ‘90s are back and Rita Ora has taken the look to the streets of London. We’re surprised it’s taken this long for a celeb to wear such a perfect incarnation of the iconic look. Really, who wouldn’t want to emulate a badass 12-year-old Natalie Portman?

The look is characterized by Portman’s ear-length bob, round sunglasses, red crocheted hat, and youthfully straight brows. Her black choker is a key element as well, but we can forgive Ora for omitting it since she got everything else down to a tee. Ora paired the look with glowing skin and replaced Portman’s knitted cap with a sweet red beret.

We also saw the haircut make a comeback on the Prada SS17 runway this week. Have no shame in bringing a picture of preteen Natalie Portman to your stylist.
