Natalie Portman Dazzles in Dreamy Wedding Dress Get the Look
Natalie Portman married her longtime partner, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, on Aug. 4 near Big Sur, Calif. The Oscar winner wore a short, ladylike dress.
When Natalie Portman and her longtime partner, Benjamin Millepied, exchanged wedding vows near Big Sur, Calif., on Aug. 4, the most important question on our minds was: Who designed the dress? There was speculation that the Oscar winner would don a Christian Dior creation, but we scoffed at such a thought considering that Portman hasn’t worn the brand since she criticized the label's designer, John Galliano, for his anti-Semitic remarks last year. Instead, we figured Portman would wear one of her favorite brands, Rodarte, and as it turns out, we were right.
According to PEOPLE magazine, designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy created a white A-line frock that ended mid-calf and featured long, see-through sleeves. The bride finished the wedding day look with a veil, floral crown, and nude shoes. Around 100 guests, including Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Macaulay Culkin, reportedly attended the ceremony.

The Israeli-born actress, 31, and dancer-choreographer Millepied, 35, are parents to a 13-month-old son, Aleph. The two met on the set of Black Swan (of which Millepied was a choreographer and for which Portman won the Best Actress Oscar), and they announced their engagement and pregnancy in December 2010.
As Portman is Jewish and Millepied is French, the ceremony included elements of both cultures. The two exchanged vows under a canopied
, wrapped in Jewish prayer shawls. As for the reception? Macaroons took the place of a traditional wedding cake, a klezmer band played, the couple danced the hora, and everything was vegan per Portman's diet. The ceremony ended around 2 a.m., and guests left with packets of wildflower seeds inscribed with the word “Merci”.

Most ladies wouldn’t be able to pull off a tea-length dress without looking a little frumpy, but we think Portman nailed the look. What do you think? Let us know!Natalie Portman has worn Rodarte to her most important functions, including the 2011 Oscars where she won Best Actress for her performance in Black Swan. Her loyalty to the label is the reason for its recent surge in popularity, so one would think that Laura and Kate Mulleavy, the sisterly duo behind the brand, would come up with something close to utter perfection for Ms. Portman’s wedding day.
It seems as though the wedding dress they designed for her special day was supposed to be ethereal, dreamy and reminiscent of a rustic 17th century Irish countryside fairy tale wedding where the Princess marries the Knight, but something was amiss. The A-lined, calf-length dress resembled more a little girl’s first communion dress than something for a sophisticated, fashionable bride. The quest for the romantic, bohemian theme continued with the naturally rustic locale of Big Sur, California, and her look was completed with loose, wavy hair crowned with a headband of flowers and flat, nude, unadorned shoes.
Natalie is 5’3″ and has a pixie-like figure, so it seems the Mulleavy sisters no longer know their client, or they should have designed something to flatter her tiny frame. Natalie is undoubtedly stunning, so, fortunately, her beautiful face was able to draw attention away from the drabness of her odd dress.

Of course, Natalie’s big smile and obvious happiness are all that matters, so her wedding gets an A+. As for Rodarte, they get a D for originality and aesthetic design on this particular dress. I hate to bag on fellow Berkeley grads, but they deserve the bad grade on this one.
Fortunately, Natalie’s wedding dress is not indicative of the Rodarte label overall. As one can clearly see below, it is evident why the Mulleavy sisters, having just started their brand in 2005 with a mere 10 pieces, got the attention of the Alpha and Omega of Fashion, American Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, and were catapulted to upper echelons in the highly competitive world of couture fashion. The California-based sisters have talent and style to spare, even designing some of Natalie’s beautiful, ethereal costumes in Black Swan.
Would Natalie have been better off wearing something closer to the stunning, art-deco period wedding dress designed for her by Trisha Biggar for her role as as “Queen Padmé Amidala” in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”?
