Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman channels Audrey Hepburn


When not trying to belch out horrible dialogue in Revenge of the Sith, Natalie Portman often scores big on the big screen. She is truly a class act.
Yahoo News
reports:

The 25-year-old Portman, wearing the iconic black column dress
worn by Hepburn in 1961's "Breakfast at Tiffany's," graces the cover of the
upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar....
"I did feel very elegant suddenly,"
Portman tells the magazine. "I mean, you can't possibly measure up to Audrey
Hepburn; there's no comparison. But the elegance that she exuded was transmitted
to the dress, you know, the feeling, the emotion of it."
The dress, one of
three versions made for the 1961 movie, will be sold to the highest bidder on
Dec. 5 at Christie's auction house in London. It's expected to fetch as much as
$130,000.
Proceeds from the dress will go to the City of Joy Aid charity,
which provides aid to India's poor.
Though she is duely humble about the lack of comparison to the film legend, I could think of no one better to model this dress off to promote the charity.
