Natalie Portman in white Dior: too bridey, or just beautiful?

wenn5574307

Is anyone else starting to feel like the plague of wedding dress styles is upon us? Perfectly normal celebrities, who are completely unengaged, are going out of their way to wear some very wedding-y styles. Anne Hathaway has been doing a ton of white lately, like her Valentino a few days ago. And now Natalie Portman, for her appearance with Jake Gyllenhaal at a charity event. Maybe it’s Jake? Maybe whenever women are around him, they wear white in the hopes that he’ll marry them? Or it could just be an odd seasonal trend. Maybe I’m old-fashioned (surprisingly true story), but I don’t care for white dresses in the Fall. I think it’s fine for Spring and Summer, and maybe for formal evening events in the winter, like a white ball gown (even though those usually look too bride-y for my taste too).

So, yeah… I don’t care for Natalie’s Dior dress. I just praised her for wearing jewel tones, and now she’s pulling a Hathaway. Damn it, Natalie! The event was for FINCA, of which Natalie is a goodwill ambassador (here for FINCA‘s website). They provide micro-loans all around the world, and they do a lot of work specifically with female entrepreneurs in developing countries. Jake was there, as was my new favorite girl, Florence Welch, from Florence and the Machine (GINGER!). Don’t bother with trying to make Natalie and Jake a couple either. Their body language says “off limits” to me – like both of them with they were boning ballet dancers.

    meh, unflattering length and bodice fit, and it washes her out. im not a fan of this, or that austin-powers-esque white thing hathaway wore the other day.

  2. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    Its just a bad dress. I could see a bride going to city hall to get married in that to. Like in the 50s. LOL *shudders* It not good. I just think clothes should make you look amazing and flatter your body and make your body look amazing and this Dior does none of the above. That red head looks hawt though. Jake looks delicious as always.

  3. Taurus says:

    She’s too young to be so blah. She needs to vamp up the sex appeal! I loved her in Closer.

  4. Siren6 says:

    I don’t think it’s bridey at all. Quite pretty!

  5. Nibbi says:

    blah hate that dress
    i actually think the gauzy crap on the top is supposed to conceal some weight gain (i hate that i’m commenting on her weight gain, but i’ll admit to being jealous of her for years for her preternaturally thin physique…) her face, arms, and chest look a lot fuller. maybe it’s the come-down from all of the dancing work for the film?

  6. brin says:

    Nothing special….she could do much better.

  7. sasa says:

    I much prefer the redhead to Natalie. But then again she is almost always blah to me.

  8. Cheyenne says:

    Bridey and boring, and the shoes are a total “no” with that dress. She needs to wear some high-heeled sandals with that outfit.

  9. Ella says:

    Wheeeeee Florence!!! Love her!

  10. 4Real says:

    Completely fug but she can do NO WRONG!

  11. bagladey says:

    Aren’t these people supposed to look “awesome”? They all look so pale and bland and bleh.

  12. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    Rip off the GAUZY CRAP and add a nice belt, nice shoes and clutch in a purple or green and it would look really nice, with some accesories?

    Other than that its BLAH

  13. Maritza says:

    Jake’s shoes are awful. I like Natalie’s shoes and dress but not together. She should have worn fancy sandals better.

  14. tracking says:

    I think it works and she looks lovely, but maybe makeup is a little washed out by the lights.

  15. Beth says:

    She’s one of my favorite actresses, ever since she was a wee thing in Beautiful Girls. I just love her. She can do no wrong in my eyes.

  16. terryo says:

    She is stunning!

  17. normades says:

    She is in the running for an Oscar now so she should really step up her style. Her choices have been so little girly and weak lately. They say “wedding reception”, not “A -list actress”.

  18. RobN says:

    Not bridey or beautiful. Just dull.

  19. original kate says:

    i would love it if it were black, or grey, or dark red. i just despise white clothing.

  20. Ron says:

    miss. bad fit, wrong shoes. still beautiful regardless.

  21. Abby says:

    Jake and Natalie look like they can’t stand each other.

  22. karina says:

    It’s not bridey but it is a bit “blah” – think this could be fixed with a great belt maybe?? the shoes aren’t bad

  23. padiddle says:

    sans the sleeves and with different shoes I would love it.

  24. Newbie says:

    It’s not stunning, but really “cute”. I like it. Counting down the days til this movie comes out. This and Blue Valentine.

  25. Heather says:

    Natalie is so pretty! Why does she dress like crap?

  26. Meanchick says:

    Does nothing for her and they DO know we can see their feet, right? The ragged boot in a suit is over.

  27. serena says:

    Too bridey! :/

  28. nona says:

    That fugly dress must costs millions..what a waste of money

  29. mystified says:

    Gorgeous, but stiff and wooden and a horrible actress. The ’10’s version of Jaclyn Smith.

  30. Lilly says:

    Bridey? It looks a little more like spring wear rather than winter. But it’s still pretty and she wears it well.

  31. Ruffian9 says:

    Beautiful. Always.

  32. april says:

    Very beautiful!

  33. OMG i love Florence & the Machine, she looks awsome ^_^

  34. Toe says:

    Gosh, because of the white dress, you must admit that she has a gorgeous face and expressive eyes. She looks…..horny…!!

  35. islandwalker says:

    She’s a lovely young woman with an ill fitting dress and the acting chops of wet cardboard.( IMHO) But she is cute in a child-like way.

    Florence on the other hand is smokin’ and can belt a good tune.

  36. truthzbetta says:

    The innocent look is refreshing on NP, it’s just so darn fug though. A for effort, D- to the designer who made an interesting person look boring.

    Jake looks like a man child, the brother vibe isn’t appealing at all. F to his look, sorry Jake but you look like you’re attending a 7 year old relative’s piano recital.

  37. Amanda says:

    oof white is not a good color on Natalie.

  38. ziggy says:

    portman and that chef giada de laurentis have a very similar appearance….

  39. Michael says:

    it’s kinda 60’s cutesy.

  40. chris says:

    Too bridey. Don’t like it.

  41. clementine says:
