Natalie and Rodarte

Just had to mention Natalie Portman's dress by Rodarte that she wore to the Venice Film Festival this week. Click on the image to make it larger so you can see all the exquisite detail. I adore this dress. It is from Rodarte's Fall 2008 ready-to-wear collection and on the runway it looked so...gothic. But there is something avant garde about Natalie in this dress - it is daring with a dash of sweetness. Not unlike Nat and the sister design team, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, that is Rodarte.
