Natalie Portman’s Oscars dress soldNatalie Portman’s recent Oscars dress has been sold for $50,000.

The stunning Hollywood star graced the 84th Academy Awards at the end of last month wearing a gorgeous 1954 vintage Christian Dior gown.

The ensemble boasted a strapless design and black polka-dots.

According to the New York Post, the dress has been sold to an “unknown British couture collector” in London for $50,000.

It was purchased through 1stdibs.com.

Natalie walked the red carpet with her rumoured husband Benjamin Millepied in the dress – and also presented the Academy Award for best actor to The Artist star Jean Dujardin in the gorgeous gown.

The Oscar-winning actress borrowed the dress from couture dealer Rare Vintage, who then went on to sell it online.

Natalie looked a picture of health and happiness as she graced the Oscars ceremony this year. In 2011, the beauty was expecting her first child with Benjamin, so dressed up her neat bump in a Rodarte violet silk chiffon draped gown with Swarovski Crystals.

The star – who also picked up her best actress Oscar that year – completed her look with Jimmy Choo shoes and Tiffany & Co. jewellery.
