natalie’s so adorable, but the model’s oozing ’swag’ so she’s looking a little better
[sexier] - better shoes too.

natalie wins by a long shot. love her! she’s the definition of beauty. she may not have the height but it doesn’t matter. she always looks exquisite. no contest. that other chick isn’t even in the same league.

Natalie looks absolutely stunning. This is one of the rare occasions when the film star looks better than the model, IMO.Truthfully, I’ve rarely seen Natalie not look beautiful.

Natalie owns it.

Natalie…hands down!

Natalie Portman. She looks more natural.

It’s a hideous dress which looks like a black plastic rubbish bag but I prefer it on Natalie.

Natalie looks so beautiful.

Definitely Natalie! this look is hard to pull off and she does it perfectly. the model looks kinda like a transvestite in that photo.

Natalie is the best and they both look great, but I don’t think she accessorized the rather plain dress enough. I like the sleeked hair and gold hoop earrings worn with it.

Definitely Natalie!

Tough choice. But I’ll go with Hilary. She just looks a little more stunning than Natalie. I think it’s because of the way she accessorized.

Natalie wins! Absolutely stunning! She’s on a roll lately.

NATALIE! The model looks like a pretty young boy.

NATALIE PORTMAN all the way! She looks so very natural with it.

I mean, she’s not some supermodel yet mother nature made her charming beautiful.

natalie, hands down.

Natalie owns it!

Natalie all the way, She has an uncharacteristic beauty about her, plus the fack that she isnt a stick and has a bust and hips (she mayyyy be tiny but shes tiny in a way that allows her body to still have natural shape)… she pulls off this dress with much more feminine charm than any waif of a supermodel.

they both look good but I prefere Natalie EXCEPT for the shoes - the shoes Natalie’s wearing are much to dainty for that dress - something a little heavier like the shoes on the model would’ve been better.

Love Natalie. She’s adorable!

Natalie wins!

natalie. i think the dress is a really good one and natalie looks perfect in it. and as someone said i think this is the first time the movie star/singer looks better than the model. just look at the scarlett johansson post below, hideous on scarlett.

I’m not too thrill with the black grabage bag dress but natalie rocks that sack.

Natalie FTW!!!

Natalie Portman WIN!

Quick question…I’ve actually never heard of Hilary Rhoda, so is she really at “super”model or just a model?

I thought the moniker “supermodel” was only bestowed upon those elite few models that can be pinpointed and our sought out by the highier-tiered designers. This girl appears to be just a regular model!!!

Totally objectively, Natalie looks better than the model in every way.

Natalie. It looks like a garbage bag on the model.

well, hilary rhoda started couple seasons back at balenciaga, and literally took the fashion industry by storm.. and i dont know any big fashion house she hasnt walked for.. so obviously she isnt some regular model, shes been on NUMEROUS covers from vogue paris to vogue italia to.. even vogue US this month!!.. and cant forget this months numero( french) cover http://journaux.fr/images/revues/M4153.jpg i would say if normal ppl like the general public actually remembered models still exist post the christy turlington.. linda evangelista era.. she would be THE star right now.. even though in the fashion industry she is a star.. admired by the top photographers to the top designers.

Natalie Portman. She looks stunning, as always!

Portman all the way on this one. I like the styling on Portman (hair/makeup/accessories/shoes) better than the runway

Natalie looks so beautiful! Sorry but never heard of the this model Hilary before, nice try though but Natalie wins this one hands down!

Oh my, Natalie blows that model out of the water! Also, the excessive accessories (say that five times fast) on the model take a billowy dress and make it look too severe and not lithe enough.

This is not even because i’m a fan of Natalie.
Honestly, Natalie.

Def NATALIE, looking gorgeous and very classy…

natalie. no one can pull it out like natalie.
love her.

hilary looks much more classy and its more flattering for her
