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?

I think the dress looks great! It looks a lot better than the strapless dresses girls wear now. She looks beautiful in it!!

Looks like her first project from Home Ec. class circa 1962

Looks like a First Communion dress but she looks happy and that’s what matters.

It is a nice change from those strapless dresses that everyone wears now. She looks happy and that is all that matters.

The dress was bad and she did look lovely. But the wedding was not kept quiet at all. It was told a month ago. You did announce it until now. Why didn”t have the weddimg somewhere else? Imstead of where she live. New york would been a better place to have it at . What was the rush anyway. Thete was no plannimg at all. She did it all herself with no help. She walked around like she wad not going to get married at all. There was nothimg too much said about it at all. It was a cheap weddding !

thank goodness someone had the nerve to wear a dress that doesn’t look like she is trolling or asks for payment up front. no boobs hanging out or shoulders bare where anyone can see all her tattoos (classy!). don’t know if ms. portman has tattoos but just making a point.

his last name is Millapied like the bug?

I don’t know why I even responded Natalie Portman is a phony.

Horrible. She looks like a little girl doing Communion. She’s so pretty she could’ve made a beautiful bride in a different dress.

Star on August 7th, 2012

She looks like she’s doing Communion. Not a fan of it.

Jennifer on August 7th, 2012

That’s a horrible dress..really, really horrible.
