These are some photos from Monday’s Academy Awards luncheon. Can I just say something? God bless Natalie Portman’s bitchface. I’m being completely sincere. If she’s not holding a trophy, Natalie looks totally and completely over it. Yes, I know, she’s probably uncomfortable and she probably wants to get out of those shoes and she probably wants to just sit on the couch eating vegan bacon (Is that a thing? It should be.). I know Natalie has a very good reason to be wearing a bitchface for months on end – she’s creating the creation. I get it. But I still love that she’s so bad an actress that she can’t even grin and bear it with good humor for the cameras. The camera always catches her bitchface, whether it is the “natural bitchface” (as many of us have as our default expression), or whether it is true discomfort and true bitchiness. Anyway, the dress is Lanvin. I think it’s really pretty – the color compliments her bitchface beautifully.

Also – maybe Natalie is upset that her fiance Benjamin Millepied came across like an unprofessional famewhore (emphasis on the whore) in a New York Times profile a few days ago. Yet another reason to wear this season’s must have accessory: the bitchface.

Oh, and here’s Nicole Kidman, wearing Yves Saint Laurent drapes, I think. No, the dress is YSL, a label that is an old favorite of Nicole’s. Nicole put on her game face and she looks much happier to be at the luncheon than Natalie. I hate the faux-halter cut of the top of the dress, but I actually love this color and print on Nicole. It makes her look younger – the holy grail for Nicole.
