2012: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman stunned everyone in her black-and-red polka dot vintage Christian Dior ball gown. The dress was part of the fashion house’s 1954 Printemps-été collection, and it looked perfect on the actress’ classic beauty. As the face of Christian Dior for years, it was no surprise that she donned this wonderful creation. Although fashion critics were divided on the now-40-year-old actress’ style back then, it could never be denied that she looked ethereal.

Someone even liked it too much that an unknown British couture collection in London spent a whopping $50,000 to buy it. It was already huge investment money, mind you. Portman paired the gown with Harry Winston jewels and a wedding ring that surprised many when she presented the Best Actor award to Jean Dujardin. At the time, she was already married to Benjamin Millepied. The couple now has two kids.
