The setting: the Palm Springs Film Festival. The opponents: Natalie Portman and Carey Mulligan. The weapons: Vionnet and Prada. Let the sartorial showdown begin!

Natalie hid her baby bump in a black and ivory long-sleeved Vionnet dress. The frock had a scalloped hem and embellished gold cuffs and collar. She wore black strappy sandals and debuted her engagement ring from dreamy fiancée Benjamin Millepied. She completed the look with a parted bun and smoky eyes.

Carey donned a textured purple Prada number with short sleeves and a black belt. Her jewelry was minimal and she accessorized the flatteringly cut dress with simple black pumps. Her short blonde ‘do was polished but tousled, and her makeup was fresh and dewy.
