Natalie Portman cradles her bare baby bump in striking Vanity Fair image for magazine's Hollywood Issue

Natalie Portman reveals her baby bump in a striking new image as part of Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue.

The 35-year-old actress, who is pregnant with her second child, poses wrapped in a silk stole as she cradles her belly.

It's an image reminiscent of the iconic photo of a pregnant Demi Moore on Vanity Fair in 1991 - which was also shot by Annie Leibovitz.

The black and white image is part of a special edition ofVanity Fair showcasing some the biggest names in tinseltown.

Natalie Portman reveals her baby bump in a striking new image in Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue unveiled on Thursday

'It was about capturing Natalie at her most radiant,' Vanity Fair fashion and style director Jessica Diehl said of the image.

The three-part cover of the 2017 edition was unveiled on Thursday.

Hailed as the wonder women of 2017, Natalie is seen alongside Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong’o, Emma Stone, Dakota Johnson, Ruth Negga, sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig, Aja Naomi King, and Janelle Monae.

'Introducing the wonder women of the 2017 Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue' the publication captioned the three images which make up the cover on Instagram.

Bring on the glitz with Lupita's Alexander McQueen gown

What did we do right in the world to deserve a cover this breathtaking from Vanity Fair?

We are on fashion overload right now trying to take in all these stunning gowns gracing the backs of Hollywood's finest.

But it was the glimmer of Lupita's Alexander McQueen gown that really caught our eye--it captures all the glamour and romance in being one of Hollywood's most treasured ingenues.

This dazzling dress was the pièce de résistance of McQueen's Spring 2017 collection. Sarah Burton managed to deconstruct the Victoriana trend with the mutton sleeves and exposed ribbing in the sheer bodice. The silhouette elegantly hugs Lupita's lithe figure before dropping to an ornate fishtail made with layers upon layers of ruffled chiffon fabric.

Sadly, we'll have to wait till Spring before we can shop this look so in the meantime, why don't you click right to take a look at the current collection available at Net-a-Porter or look striking in silver with one of the alternatives below.
