And if rumours are to believed, the cream of the fashion crop are all clamouring to dress Natalie - and even the local bookies are in on it!

Rodarte sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, were the creative brains and hands behind the tutu-tastic designs in the film. But the 3/1 favourite for Natalie's Oscar gown is currently French fashion house Christian Dior. Rodarte are in at a close second, followed by Alexander McQueen and Lanvin.
