Natalie Portman launched her vegan shoe line in New York this week.

The actress announced last year that she planned to create a range of shows that did not use animal products.

The launch took place in New York designer shoe boutique Te Casan and the new line included ballet-style pumps and bright red Mary-Jane styles.

Natalie was inspired by her love of animals and the enviornment when deciding to launch the collection.

The shoes retail from around $250 a pair.
