Natalie channels her inner Hepburn

The new cover of Harper's Bazaar features Natalie Portman wearing the iconic black Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. "I feel very elegant suddenly," Portman said of wearing the dress. "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. I was so nervous that I wasn't going to fit. Everyone kept telling me how small it was, and I'm not the type who can starve myself. I'm small, but it's not like I'm see-through." The dress is being auctioned at Christie's on December 5, with the proceeds going to a charity that provides aid to those living in poverty in India.
