    And if rumours are to believed, the cream of the fashion crop are all clamouring to dress Natalie - and even the local bookies are in on it!

    Rodarte sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, were the creative brains and hands behind the tutu-tastic designs in the film. But the 3/1 favourite for Natalie's Oscar gown is currently French fashion house Christian Dior. Rodarte are in at a close second, followed by Alexander McQueen and Lanvin.

    With Natalie herself as the new face of Miss Dior Cherie perfume, we think it's almost a sealed deal - especially as Dior's haute couture SS11 collection is perfect for her burgeoning bump...

    Either way, we are very excited for the 27th February - with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Nicole Kidman, it's set to be an A-list extravanganza.
