Natalie Portman brings light to 'A Tale of Love and Darkness' premiere

Natalie Portman's fashion story Monday night can be summed up as tale of no darkness.

The actress, who sat in the director's chair for the movie based on Amos Oz's autobiographical book, A Tale of Love and Darkness, wore two white dresses, one for the premiere and one for the after party.

First, Portman posed for photos at New York's Crosby Street Hotel in a light gown with thin straps and fitted bodice. She kept her accessories simple and paired the a-line dress with strappy metallic heels, both by Dior.

Jonathan Safran Foer's pen pal then slipped into something more comfortable — this flowy, knee-length Chloé number with long sleeves. Since she opted not to change her shoes we're guessing they weren't too painful.

White certainly has been trending lately. Click here to see how Laverne Cox and Seth Rogen's former sparring partner, Katherine Heigl, stunned in the hot hue.
