Most of you were less-than-pleased with Natalie Portman's Viktor & Rolf gown at the Golden Globe Awards, saying it was too busy and unflattering to her pregnant frame. Her stylist, Kate Young, must have been listening because she chose a dress with a more fitted silhouette for the SAG Awards.

The white gown (white was the color of the night) was accented with a sparkling embroidered neckline and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Hair, of course, was pulled back.



Blah. White is a fabulous hue (it looked stunning on Eva Longoria) but I'd love to see Natalie in a colorful printed flowing gown (think Mila Kunis' Alexander McQueen) to give her some life. This was safe and boring, and it looks like her stomach can't breathe.

Sham for me, though I'm ecstatic about her second Awards Season win for Best Actress in Black Swan and her paved road to the Oscars.



What do you think of her look?

We all know that I (Coutura) thought the Lanvin for H&M collaboration was nothing short of brilliant. Hollywood thought so too.



Among the many celebs who were spotted wearing the collection, two of my favorites, Golden Globe winner (and Oscar no-brainer!) Natalie Portman and Reality Star/Recording Artist? Kim Kardashian both wore the Lanvin for H&M eggplant dress with poufy shoulder neckline and black grosgrain waistband.



Natalie Portman at the Gotham Independent Film Awards and Kim this week during her Kourtney & Kim Take New York press tour (P.S. are you guys watching that show this weekend?).

I actually wanted this dress (BAD) and tried it on but could not zip it up without crushing my rib cage. Shame. The next size up was just way too big all around. I wonder what size Kim's dress is because she has curves for days, and it didn't seem friendly to mine, which are small by comparison. Hmm...



Anyway, Natalie Portman paired hers with a Dior embellished clutch, black pumps and hot red lips. Kim Kardashian complimented her dress with YSL Tribtoo pumps and a smoky eye.

To me, a smoky eye is everything but Natalie's red lip adds a lovely touch of color and livens up the outfit. I also like that Natalie's hair is up (and in a side bun) so it doesn't compete with the poufy shoulder. Kim's hair, by comparison, makes the look a tad busy. Portman wins this one for me.

What say you?

All anyone in Hollywood (and the fashion industry) could talk about for the past few days is what Natalie Portman might wear. I've heard it all from "Dior - since she's the face of Dior Cherie" to Rodarte who designed the costumes for her incredible movie, Black Swan. The final verdict? The No Strings Attached actress surprised us all with a dress from Viktor & Rolf (though Dior and Rodarte need not worry; there's always The Oscars).



The dress is a couture strapless, multi-layered column gown in dust-pink silk satin adorned with a hand-embroidered Swarovski crystal red rose. Fancy! While it sounds beautiful, I think it was a little busy for her glorious, pregnant round frame.





She paired it with gorgeous Tiffany & Co. jewels that compliment that pregnant glow.

What do you think of her look? Glam or Sham?

Never, ever in the history of topless ads have I ever seen a celebrity looking so tasteful!

Side note: You did notice that somewhat sleazy topless ad our fave Rihanna did for her newest signature fragrance, Reb'l Fleur, right? If only she'd taken notes from Natalie Portman! This woman does nice nudity like no other.

The ad, which was snapped last year in July, is for the newest Miss Dior Cherie perfume and features Portman rocking a cutesy black bow. LOVE!

Although she was recently the size of a rail in this ad and as well as for her glamazing role in Black Swan, she's now nice and plump due to her newly announced pregnancy!

Regardless of whatever role she takes, I'm totes beyond envious of her looks. I mean, just look how gorge she is pregnant! That glow! Her hair! Ugh. Here she is at the premiere of her latest flick with Ashton Kutcher called No Strings Attached wearing a Vena Cava gown, Dior bag and Aldo shoes.

OK, I'll stop now before you guys start to think I have a thing for her or something hahaha.

What do you think of her new Miss Dior Cherie ad? Do you think it's tasteful or sleazy?

Am I the only one that still hasn't seen Black Swan?



The movie couldn't have had better timing, and I'm not talking about Oscar season. Black Swan hit theaters at a time where ballerina-inspired fashion, with its whimsical tulle skirts, soft hues and delicate fabrics, is seeing a resurgence.

Taylor Swift embraced the look at this week's People's Choice Awards in a peach dress from J. Mendel which she paired with a soft updo, strappy Prada pumps and bold red lips to add a jolt of sex appeal.

Fittingly, Black Swan star, Natalie Portman, wore the same dress on Vogue's January 2011 cover. Elegant jewelry and soft pink lips completed the look.



Who wore it best? And more importantly, when do I get to wear it?



Kisses,

Has anyone seen Black Swan yet?! If so, please refrain from spoiling it by providing detailed scene deets for the rest of us that haven't (me included...I meant to get to it this past weekend, but doing laundry won out over that one..ugh.) OK, now that we've gotten that out of the way, I can share the news that actress Natalie Portman (the star of Black Swan) will be gracing the cover of Vogue's January 2011 issue. I'm no stranger to fawning over her looks (ahem, just click here for evidence of that) but I have to admit that she looks so gorge here on the cover! In the issues, she shares details about the major transformation she had to undergo in order to take on this part. Apparently, she worked 8 hours a day, 6 days a week with former New York City ballet dancer Mary Helen Bowers. It took her about 6 months to create that ballerina body.

Um, that's insane. I can barely get my butt to the gym once a week and once I do I have to go to some sort of organized class because otherwise I'll stay on a machine 15 minutes and call that a work out hahaha. So, I applaud Portman and her ability to transform her body into this greatness and can't wait to see the movie this week!

What do you think of her picture on the cover, Glamazons? I love it! Totally glam.

Um, can we please just pause and thank the beauty gods for giving us this radiant vision of beauty known as Natalie Portman?!

OK, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's discuss this glamazing look the actress rocked last night at IFP's 20th Annual Gotham Independent Films, shall we?

The makeup is actually surprisingly very simple! Obvs she's wearing hot pink lipstick, but not so obvs are her subtly flushed cheeks (i.e. a lighter shade of pink). Of course, her eyebrows are perfectly groomed, but it's the winged eyeliner that elongates her peepers perfectly...love!

Equally as impressive is that messy side hair bun and it looks so natural that I swear anyone could do it! (Just check out this close look above! But, from working at The Magazine, I know for sure that it usually takes hair stylists a hot minute to create those messy, undone looks.)

And (I just had to point this out) she looks dramatically different from her debut Tuesday night at the Black Swan premiere. I get that she was going for the whole goth beauty look, but that shade of red paired with those curls just make her look old. Or maybe it's just because she's not smiling?

Which look do you prefer, Glamazons? And who else plans on stealing that pink-lipped-side-swept-bun look for themselves?!

It's about time a beauty brand scooped actress Natalie Portman's pretty face to front their brands! In her first ever fragrance and cosmetics brand deal, Portman has signed with Parfums Christian Dior and will join the ranks of Charlize Theron and Sharon Stone (who have also lent their faces to the brand). Parfums Christian Dior didn't divulge which project they'll be using Portman for or when when we'll start to see her face in ads, but we're pretty sure that they'll be pretty glam once they do appear.
