Natalie Portman reveals her baby bump in a striking new image as part of Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue.

The 35-year-old actress, who is pregnant with her second child, poses wrapped in a silk stole as she cradles her belly.

It's an image reminiscent of the iconic photo of a pregnant Demi Moore on Vanity Fair in 1991 - which was also shot by Annie Leibovitz, according to the Daily Mail.

The black and white image is part of a special edition of Vanity Fair showcasing some the biggest names in tinseltown.

"It was about capturing Natalie at her most radiant," Vanity Fair fashion and style director Jessica Diehl said of the image.

The three-part cover of the 2017 edition was unveiled on this morning.

Hailed as the wonder women of 2017, Natalie is seen alongside Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong’o, Emma Stone, Dakota Johnson, Ruth Negga, sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig, Aja Naomi King, and Janelle Monae.

"Introducing the wonder women of the 2017 Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue" the publication captioned the three images which make up the cover on Instagram.

The women have twelve Oscar nominations between them and two wins.

Portman, who is expecting her second child with husband Benjamin Millepied, won an Academy Award in 2010 for her leading role in Black Swan.

She is up for best actress for her depiction of iconic First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in biopic Jackie.

The 35-year-old star wears a blush off-the-shoulder creation with long train. 

Nyong'o, 33, scooped an Oscar for her part in 12 Years A Slave in 2014. 

In the stunning cover image the Queen of Katwe star reclines on a chair in a sparkling fishtail dress.

Adams, 42, is a five-time nominee but missed out on a nod for her roles in Arrival and Nocturnal Animals at this year's ceremony taking place on February 26.

In the foreground of the image sits Stone who is nominated for best actress in a leading role for her part in La La Land opposite Ryan Gosling.

Breakout star Negga is nominated for best actress for her part in Loving, a drama about an interracial couple also starring Joel Edgerton.

Annie Leibovitz photographed the Hollywood stars each sporting a beautiful red-carpet worthy gown.

The special edition of Vanity Fair hits newsstands February 3.
