Natalie Portman in her wedding dress.

Natalie Portman was supposed to play Juliet in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. They wanted her badly. The problem: she looked much, much too young. So young that in the test footage, it was “obscene”, is the way Luhrmann described it. Natalie was slightly less delicate in her recounting of the reasons behind her departure:

"They said it looked like Leonardo was molesting me when we kissed.”

Anyway, this came to me looking at pap shots of Portman’s wedding dress reportedly designed by Rodarte. Flower child bride? Look, it’s not what I would have chosen for myself but I don’t totally hate the dollhouse wedding gown if that’s her way of being all the opposite of Jessica Simpson, fine. But why do the sleeves have to be SO unflattering?

Look at those sleeves. They seem hard and boxy. They’re the arms of a robot on the body of a baby bride. Strangest design choice ever.

1. Honestly?

I like Natalie Portman because she's a talented actress, very progressive minded and does her best to keep her private life private. I hope her wedding day was a glorious one.

Ms. Portman is one of those rare child actresses that managed to keep her career going as an adult and not fall into the pitfalls of hard drinking & drugs with a series of very public, failed relationships.

4. The D-Listed writer described it thusly:

"...she wore an Italian toddler's communion dress circa 1964."

5. Having had a communion dress of my own in 1964, I would have to agree.
