Natalie Portman Is Pregnant: So What Should She Wear To the Oscars?
By Leah Chernikoff
Following Natalie Portman’s phenomenal Oscar-buzz-worthy performance in Black Swan comes this shocker: she is engaged to the film’s choreographer, Benjamin Millepied, and pregnant with his child, People is reporting. The beautiful couple (I mean, this will be the most gorgeous child ever, right?) started dating around a year ago during filming.
Portman is so tiny she won’t be showing much by Oscar time (she’ll probably be about five or six months along come February), but it certainly ups her Oscar buzz and becomes a factor in her Oscar dress decision. This past year has shown that pregnancy is fashionable: Adriana Lima confessed to us that she was approached to walk the runway pregnant, only to be turned down for the gig because she wasn’t pregnant enough. And Miranda Kerr’s naked pregnant belly was all over the pages of glossies (and she also walked pregnant for Balenciaga).
We’d be surprised if Portman didn’t wear Rodarte on Oscar night–they designed the ballet costumes for Black Swan and Portman is a fan of the Mulleavy sisters and has worn their creations to the Oscars before. So in light of Portman’s exciting news, we pulled a few dresses from Rodarte’s past collections that might work. Luckily, a lot of the dresses from Rodarte’s spring 2011 collection had ruffles and busyness right around the waist–perfect for distracting from a baby bump! But the swan gown from spring 2009 was too perfect not to include. And really, it’s the closest thing to what Rachel Zoe would deem an “Oscar gown” from their collections, even though that season has already seen a lot of red carpets.
What do you think Portman should wear to the Oscars?

i hate to be the cynical one but this sounds like a publicity ploy to me…
I don’t think she got pregnant to drum up buzz for the most talked about film of the year. Just sayin..
lmao thats a bit much – getting pregnant to win an oscar; I really doubt it considering shes had the oscar buzz way before her announcement
This is a rush job because she doesn’t want an illegitimate child so maybe the dress should at least have a scarlet letter A?
sometimes I think I only look at the comments to see what you’ve written, haha.
Thanks Rachel!
Have you seen Black Swan?
yea, i am one of those jerks who loved it and hyped it for the people who say its overrated
That’s ok because it was a great fucking movie.
Speaking of Rachel, Rachel Weisz split from a 9 year marriage with Darren Aronofsky (director of Black Swan) a month ago and immediately hooked up with Daniel Craig.
The film industry is one big cluster-fuck Greek tragedy.
Thats probably one of the nicest descriptions I’ve heard of the film industry…
FYI I’m following you on Boutiques.com now. My new obsession beside fashionista.
haha, really? I only registered with that site when they first “opened” to see how well it worked and immediately found out what I always thought to be true; other than just being a financial backer, tech companies shouldn’t ever get in involved with fashion. Case in point, Phi.
Boutiques.bomb is like, if you like this then you must like this and this. It’s for people who want to get spoon-fed their style.
Google basically just wanted to get into another industry to generate more revenue. And it’s almost exactly like stylecaster.com, which was alright until they did their recent revamp and failed.
Anyway, check out my blog once a while to hear some good music.
Hope to see you at the shows in February.
I definitely vote Rodarte
Rodarte and a delicate calligraphy sign that says, “Oops.”
when you’re tiny you actually show sooner. And I am with Rachel, I comment rarely but read Rashomon Rebel’s all the time. :)
I haven’t seen you for a while!
aww, I feel so loved. :) Was on a business trip in Asia; back now so you’ll see an occasional comment now and again.
I hate to say it but I agree with Rashomon. I love Ms. Portman but we’ve seen this several times in Hollywood. I hope they are happy together and don’t travel down the same road as SO many have

You definitely can’t get your ex back by getting your new girlfriend pregnant…
She would wear a naked Benjamin Millepied, draped around her body like Bjork’s swan dress
I’M ALL FOR THIS
As the first poster said It happens. Im surprised myself to find out that Natalie Portman is expecting her first child and is engaged. Natalie seems like a very private person in the fact that she keeps her personal life a private matter. Congrats to her.

I want to say congratulate to this child.It is great time to feel you.
I think she should wear Neil Fifer on her face (to the Oscars)!

I think that you made a mistake, because she is so tiny she WILL be showing in February. Smaller belly/person = more baby showing.
I think wear the Maxy dress because it’s good for her in pregnant time..
