Now that she’s confirmed her pregnancy, all eyes will be on how Natalie Portman will dress to accommodate her glowing baby bump–particularly as the awards season kicks into high gear (the Golden Globes is this Sunday!). Step 1: go for body skimming pieces that retain your lithe shape but can elegantly accommodate your changing body. At the Palm Springs Film Festival awards gala this past weekend, Portman chose Vionnet’s black silk armuré crepe and ivory silk crepe georgette dress from the spring collection. While the black keeps her midsection nicely disguised head-on, what’s clever about this dress is the sheer crepe georgette that adds another dimension. Coupled with the cotton popeline collar and cuffs with gold dozens of metal studs, not to mention Cartier’s white, yellow and rose gold and diamond “baby” Trinity earrings, your eyes are drawn up and out–and away from Portman’s stomach. Genius! The dress is a tad Peter Pan-like, particularly with the slicked back hair and minimal makeup, so I would advise Portman to go for a bright hue or go for solid black but in a dramatic cut.
