Natalie Portman in Michael Kors Fall 2011

Touted as the favorite to take home the golden Oscar statuette, Natalie Portman is also the most style-challenged of the bunch with her ever-burgeoning pregnant belly. While she often leans on designer pals such as Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte and Alber Elbaz from Lanvin for her red-carpet attire, the "Black Swan" darling will need a maxidress come Feb. 27. This red-hot halter gown from Michael Kors' recent collection has the neckline the actress has favored of late plus the free-form shape that will make the evening a comfortable cakewalk. (Well, at least in the wardrobe department.)
