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?Profaizer and Lindgren agree that costuming is not an afterthought; it is an integral part of the play's impact – especially on the people embodying the characters.
"For me, my character was never complete until I had my costume," says Lindgren. "It gave me stage business, it gave me mannerisms… it was a crucial step. So it was an easy transition to get into telling a story through clothes."For this unprecedented project, Lindgren hopes to garner support from all corners of the community. "The problem is that this town is loyal to one theater program. Each organization has a different audience and there isn't much crossover. I want it to be more of a community event. That's my goal for this," he says. Just one goal of many.More alarming, though, is that Superman symbol. I got nothing against Supes -- he famously stands for truth, justice and the American way, after all -- but he wasn't born in this country. He's a well-known, undocumented alien who arrived here through no choice of his own and did the best he could to better himself and his adoptive country. It may be the American dream in action, but the narrative doesn't go over well with rural voters Steelman appears to be courting in her (much more casual) outfit.
