Natalie Portman

She's said she wants to avoid looking like a whale in public, but it'll be worth parading her belly down the red carpet for the Oscars! Besides, after the Golden Globes' gorgeous Viktor & Rolf gown we can't wait to see what she chooses next time.

Best Actress: Black Swan

Michelle Williams

This daisy draped Valentino dress at the Golden Globes didn't get great reviews in the press—will Williams step it up for Hollywood's biggest fashion night or stick to her hippie-chic style?

Annette Bening

A black Stella McCartney jumpsuit with embroidered bodice is fine for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, but we hope Bening adds a little bling to her outfit for the big night.

The actress's last red carpet outing involved this ruffled Louis Vuitton number—will she streamline for the Oscars or continue with this over-the-top trend?

Nicole Kidman

Nic never fails to bring the glamour to the red carpet—this slinky sequined Prada gown at the Golden Globes is no exception—so at least we know there will be something interesting to look at.

Amy Adams

This time last year Adams was preggers, so we fully expect her to embrace the glitz 'n' glamour of the evening in some fabulous gown that shows off her postbaby figure, à la the Marchesa dress she wore to the Globes.

Jacki Weaver

It's the Aussie star's first Oscar nomination—but more important, it's an opportunity to borrow some fabulous designer gown for the occasion!

Melissa Leo

There are 33 days for Leo to find a stylist who won't put her in Dynasty-era shoulder pads for her big walk down the red carpet. We know she can do it!

Helena Bonham Carter

HBC's a little bit like Lady Gaga on the red carpet—you never know what to expect (shoes that don't match?!)—but you know it's gonna be wack, so just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Hailee Steinfeld

A favorite of almost everyone's at the Globes, where she wore Marchesa, we're rooting for the 14-year-old True Grit star to continue her streak and make jaws drop at the Oscars.
