    The blooming star – who announced both her pregnancy and engagement over Christmas – walked the red carpet alone in a flowing pink Viktor and Rolf gown.

    But despite keeping a distance from new fiancée Benjamin Millipied in front of the cameras, Natalie paid tribute to the dancer during her acceptance speech, crediting him with helping her ‘bring more creation into the world.’

    ‘I met you 10 years ago in a HoJo in Times Square.

But I am incredibly grateful for that most special of gifts.'

    The star also thanked her parents, who were in the audience, adding: 'If I am a shadow as good a parent, an echo, then I will be the best in the world, so thank you.’
