Natalie Portman Sweeps Awards Season (We Predict!) -- But What to Wear?

Dear Natalie Portman,

You already had us with your debut role as a cigarette-puffing pre-teen in The Professional, and now with your ridiculous display of talent in the awards-season favorite film Black Swan, we're rooting for you more than ever.

In fact, unless Nicole Kidman gets in the way with her critic-bait performance in "Rabbit Hole", we're predicitng a sweep.

A level-headed and Harvard degree-toting actress that balances both brains and beauty (we'll never forget your words: "I'd rather be smart than be a movie star"), we believe you deserve everything that's coming to you of late--the numerous nominations and wins, the Dior Parfums contract, the hot ballerina fiance, and the genetically superior baby that's on the way.

And let's not forget your red carpet wardrobe that's inspired us over the past 10 years thanks to its surprising collection of jaw-dropping ensembles by Rodarte, Lanvin, Dior, Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, Miu Miu, Chanel, Givenchy, and a handful of other well-chosen design houses.

We're sure you won't disappoint when it comes to this year's big night at the Oscars, where we can see you sticking to the blazing red hue that you so expertly donned at the Venice Film Festival (in the form of sparkly Rodarte), but this time opting for Alber Elbaz's flowing one-shoulder creation for Lanvin's Spring 2011 line.

Portman could also don the blazing red hue that suits her so well in the form of this Spring 2011 Lanvin dress paired with gently tousled locks and matching crimson lips. Photo: Jim Spellman, WireImage | ImaxTree


Or perhaps in homage of your recent deal with Dior, you'll switching up your steady stream of flowing frocks and column dresses and wear one of John Galliano's over-the-top ballgowns for Dior Couture.

What would really please us, however, is you pulling out all the stops with Rodarte's gold show-stopping frock which not only features the asymmetrical neckline you favor, but will also disguise your baby bump quite nicely.

After all, it will perfectly match that sparkly statue you'll be holding at the end of the night, no?

Love,

oh why disguise the baby bump, its a beautiful look and something to be very proud of. the red gown or something else of that color would be just outstanding on her. not everyone can wear red and natalie would pull it off just beautifully.

"... sleek updo's [sic] she favors ..."??

Are you kidding me? An alleged writer who thinks you use an apostrophe to make a word plural? Holy crap. You should've learned better than that by junior high English class, for God's sake.

I would not wear that ballgown to a dog fight. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Anyway, what is wrong with having a baby bump, something to be proud of and show off. Don't hide it.

The little red dress in pic #3 of 14 and the little pink dress in pic #4 of 14 are the most becomming on her. The little black dress in pic #9 of 14 is passable, but she needs to stand differently. She is basically a beautiful young woman. I wish her the best.
