Months before Taylor Swift swept across the People's Choice Awards carpet in her peachy, pleated J. Mendel creation, Natalie Portman was modeling the dress for the Vogue January 2011 cover.
While I love this gown on both ladies and, in all fairness, we can't see the bottom half of Natalie's look, I do like how the dress works with the "Black Swan" actress's natural, tawny palette as opposed to Taylor's poppy pout.
Who wore Winter Kate better?
