Who: Natalie Portman and her husband Benjamin Millepeid, and Drew Barrymore plus her partner Will Kopelman

What: It was a couples night out for the New York City Ballet Spring Gala. Portman made a rare red carpet appearance with her busband Benjamin, and looked seriously stunning in a tulle dress with leather detailing by Dior. (We also love her slightly messed-up updo and smoky eyes). The pair were joined by mum-to-be Drew Barrymore, who hid her baby bump underneath a silk gown by Chanel, paired with an oversized blazer.

Where: The Lincoln Centre, New York City, 10 May

Verdict: We love both these ladies looks. Natalie wins lots of fashion points for wearing that beautiful blue dress but Drew deserves a few too for adding a casual chic touch to a Chanel gown.

Best ever red carpet looks

Audrey Hepburn
 She took home the Best Actress Oscar for Roman Holiday in 1954 and the gamine beauty also turned heads in her Givenchy-designed floral frock, which highlighted her tiny waist and elegant shoulders.
Grace Kelly
 In 1954, Kelly's silk dress, designed by Edith Head, was the most expensive in Oscar history to date - the material alone cost $4000. Not only was the star a red carpet head-turner on the night, she also took home the Best Actress statue for her role in The Country Girl.
Sharon Stone
 At the 68th Annual Academy Awards in 1996, Sharon Stone followed her basic instincts and grabbed a Gap turtleneck to pair with her Valentino skirt - and that's how fashion history was made.
Elizabeth Hurley
 <div style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt; "> It's hard to believe that this unforgettable Versace safety pin dress was only worn by Hurley to the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere, back in 1995, which then-boyfriend Hugh Grant starred in.  </div>
Nicole Kidman
 In 1997, Nicole donned this John Galliano for Dior embroidered dress to the Oscars. The striking chartreuse hue was a daring choice for the red carpet, which is usually filled with pastel and neutral tones.
Gwyneth Paltrow
 Even though the Ralph Lauren dress Gwyneth wore to collect her Best Actress Oscar in 1999 was panned by some critics for poor fit, it was pure American princess.
Chloe Sevigny
 At the 72nd Annual Academy Awards in 2000, style chameleon Chloe stunned in YSL by Alber Elbaz, proving that indie chicks can do Hollywood glamour as well as anyone else.
Jennifer Lopez
 The plunging green Versace dress that J-Lo wore to the Grammys in 2000 ensured the star's sex appeal would be talked about for years to come, and has gone down as one of the most iconic - and most-talked about - dresses in history.
Angelina Jolie
 In 2001, Jolie made a fashion statement on the Oscars red carpet in a white Dolce & Gabbana tux, showing that androgynous style can be just as appealing as the traditional frock.
Renee Zellweger
 In her 50s couture Jean Desses dress, Renee lit up the Oscars red carpet in canary yellow in 2001.
Julia Roberts
 The star donned this beautiful vintage Valentino frock for the Oscars in 2001, when she collected the Best Actress statue for her role in Erin Brockovitch.
Halle Berry
 In 2002, Halle put designer Elie Saab on the map when she wore his sheer and satin bordeaux dress to collect her Best Actress Oscar.
Cate Blanchett
 In 2005, Cate took home a Best Supporting Actress statue for her role in The Aviator as well as some serious red carpet accolades for this glorious yellow Valentino gown.
Charlize Theron
 Charlize chose this frothy Dior couture gown for the Oscars in 2005, making fairytale magic happen on the red carpet.
Hilary Swank
 Hilary Swank showed off her feminine side in this backless Guy Laroche dress at the Academy Awards in 2005 and also snagged the Best Actress gong for her role as a boxer in Million Dollar Baby.
Keira Knightley
 In 2006, Keira Knightley made herself a fashion plate to be reckoned with in this plum one-shouldered Vera Wang gown, which she wore to the 78th Annual Academy Awards.
Michelle Williams
 Michelle got onto the fashion radar when she rocked this mustard yellow Vera Wang frock on the Oscars red carpet in 2006. Totally stunning.
Helen Mirren
 Mirren dazzled in gold Christian Lacroix at the 2007 Oscars, and her gorgeous frock perfectly complemented her best accessory of the evening - a golden Best Actress statuette for her role in The Queen.
Reese Witherspoon
 Reese donned her favourite label of the time, Olivier Theyskens-designed Nina Ricci, for the Golden Globes in 2007. The refreshing lemony-hued dress and shorter hemline made for a perfect, less-formal red carpet ensemble.
Scarlett Johansson
 At the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in 2008, Scarlett showed off her enviable curves in a ballet-style Dolce & Gabbana frock that inspired dozens of brides-to-be (well, she was showing off her new engagement ring!)
Penelope Cruz
 For the 81st Annual Academy Awards in 2009, Cruz stunned in this vintage Pierre Balmain gown. She also took home the Best Supporting Actress that year for her role in Vicki Cristina Barcelona.
Olivia Wilde
 When Olivia hit the Golden Globes red carpet in this lavender Reem Acra bridal gown in 2009, she put herself on the fashion ones-to-watch map.
Cameron Diaz
 In 2009, the actress cut a stunning figure in this pink petal Chanel dress on the red carpet at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards.
Zoe Saldana
 At the 82nd Annual Academy Awards in 2010, Zoe rocked this dramatic Givenchy couture gown which divided critics' opinions - the ombre poodle skirt is definitely a lot of dress to handle, but Zoe does it brilliantly, which is why this look is one of our all-time favourites.
Thandie Newton
 At the Baftas in 2011, Thandie was flawless on the red carpet in her floral pink Monique Lhuillier frock.
Cate Blanchett
 Cate's thoroughly modern take on red carpet dressing at the 2011 Oscars had everyone talking about her lilac Givenchy couture dress, an edgy choice that easily had her claiming the evening's best dressed title.
Hailee Steinfeld
 At the SAG Awards in 2011, then 14-year-old Steinfeld turned heads in her stripy, colourful Prada dress and cemented her status as a fashion newcomer to watch on the red carpet.
Lea Michele
 One of our favourite new red carpet faces, Lea never steers clear of drama. In 2011, her salmon pink Golden Globes frock by Oscar de la Renta had all the drama we expect from red carpet fashion.
Emma Stone
 Emma's minimalist peach dress with open back detail by Calvin Klein, and her dramatic blonde 'do, made for one stellar fashion moment at the Golden Globes in 2011. While the star continued to present herself in impeccable style on the red carpet, this look remains her one to beat.
Tilda Swinton
 The star's avant garde style has its fair share of red carpet misses, but her look at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards came from one of our all time favourite collections, Raf Simon for Jil Sander spring 2011. Tilda's fresh face and gorgeous colouring complement the frock perfectly.
Nina Dobrev
 The Vampire Diaries' star unexpectedly had the best red carpet look of 2011 when she arrived at the Emmy Awards in September in this striking red Donna Karan gown.
Elizabeth Taylor
 In 1953, Taylor came to the Oscars with husband Michael Wilding as a spectator in a gorgeous tiered gown which oozed pure Old Hollywood glamour and had the starlet looking spectacular.
