Two women-- one who received an Oscar nomination for Closer in 2005, the other an Oscar nomination for An Education, last year--are not your typical Young Hollywood. They are far more grounded & serious about their careers than the "It Girls" who use their looks to compensate for actual acting talent. Carey Mulligan and Natalie Portman are amongst the creme de la creme when it comes to their acting and poise on the Hollywood scene. Although Natalie Portman is not a newcomer, her sense of mystery & private life has kept us knowing very little about her. Last night however, her recent engagment ring and pregnancy left the stunning actress looking luminous at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Her look included a black Vionna dress along with the golden detailing on the collars and cuffs. Having a slight smokey eye look gave her a delicate Black Swan look, instead of a dramatic one from the film. She's got the Harvard degree, the engagement ring, so all that's missing is that Oscar ! As for Carrey Mulligan, a textured Prada dress did her just fine. The black belt helped her outfit look young, and flattered the waistline. Keeping a minimal on accessories with classic black pumps left Carrey looking like a polished star.
