We hope Natalie Portman's dress isn't covered with those prickly polka dots on the inside. If it is, we have no idea how she's still standing!

It looks like the sharp points on the Academy Award-winner's Christian Dior dress are outward facing only, which means anyone who attempts to hug her is in for a big surprise. Could that be the point of this 3-D pattern? Defense against unwanted intruders?

Aside from this spikey fabric, we're in love with the color-blocked look. The neon blue and green top stands out against the jet black bottom for a striking effect against Natalie's olive skin. We also love seeing her with simple, straight hair.

Maybe that's what this new mom was hoping to keep safe with this dangerous design! If so, we get it. There's nothing worse than too many tight hugs ruining a perfectly good blow-out.
