FIRST LOOK: Natalie Portman’s Ethereal White Wedding Dress

When Natalie Portman needed a wedding dress appropriate for a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony in California’s chilly Big Sur, the actress called on her friends. Her fashion friends, that is.

A source tells PEOPLE that Portman tied the knot in a dress by Rodarte, the label run by Portman’s longtime pals, sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy. The frothy white A-line frock, left, was tea length, and featured a sheer overlay that covered the star’s chest and arms. She accessorized the simple gown with nude shoes, a veil and what appeared to be a floral crown.

The actress has been a fan of the young line for several years, wearing Rodarte creations on press tours for The Other Boleyn Girl, Black Swan and for the 2011 Oscars, where she nabbed the best actress statuette.

Portman and dancer Benjamin Millepied wed Saturday night in a moonlit ceremony attended by family (including their 14-month-old son, Aleph) and friends, such as Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner and Macaulay Culkin.

The pair met when Portman was filming Black Swan in the fall of 2009 (coincidentally, Rodarte designed her iconic tutu for that film) and announced their engagement and pregnancy in December 2010. Tell us: What do you think of Portman’s wedding dress?

She looks a lot like Audrey Hepburn on her wedding day! I’m pretty sure Audrey had a very similar dress and floral wreath in her wedding with Mel Ferrer. Funny, because Natalie already looks a lot like Audrey.

Jesus Christ, who cares?!

I love Natalie Portman and I can understand a modest dress – but sadly, this does nothing for her. The fit is soso… and the flowers with the veil – not a good look. She should have chosen one or the other not both. Such a disappointment! She normally has such beautiful taste. :(

No, it’s not my fave, but for an outdoor wedding in Big Sur I can see how you might not want something dragging the ground, and also something you could wear with flats that is a bit more casual. It’s cute (cutesy might be more like it). I do like how it’s a bit lower in back.

Traditional???? Tradition went out the window when she had the baby before marrying the guy!!!

She is not going to like this but she looks like she is doing her communion.

Well, now we know why she wedded secretly… all of you should be ashamed. She is a stunning woman.

Beautiful Natalie looks like a drudge in that homely, ill-fitted gown.

Perhaps she’ll wear a more beautiful dress for her 2nd and 3rd marriages.

She looks happy. Wearing a smile at your wedding is the ONLY thing that matters, and is something that many people overlook.
