Natalie Portman: White House Correspondents Dinner
Natalie Portman dons an elegant Balenciaga halter dress (with interesting cut-outs) at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night (May 9) in Washington, D.C.
The 27-year-old actress was a guest of Newsweek. “My table is pretty good,” she says, “It’s Geithner, Gates and Valerie Jarrett. I’m looking forward to that.”
That would be Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Senior Presidential Adviser Valerie Jarrett.
This year, the annual dinner featured President Barack Obama and comedian Wanda Sykes.

Lovely girl.
Table of vultures!!!!!!!!!!
Geithner..isn’t he the devil incarnate?
At the very least a Marxist just like Obama.
Vile specimens!!!
That dress is one sneeze away from exposing a nipple!
I’d feel so uncomfortable is something as revealing as that……
lol - i like how she just threw their names out like their her personal buddies. gotta love this girl and only freaking 27 too!
should be a lesson to everyone - stay in school kids!

oops sorry for the triple post
STUNING
sorry, STUNNING
gorgeous
beautiful
sensational, just incredible
love this look on her
Secretary Gates and Natalie Portman, I would like to be at that table!
Stay classy, Nat. ;)
lovely as always, not loving the dress tho. almost makes her look a little saggy…
finally. if you look at the time story about the twitter and the #nerdprom tweeting by the attendees that went you’ll find the comment about someone observing natalie getting smushed and swamped by people
Garrett, Geithner, and Gates? Sorry, that’s a horrible table. Gates isn’t too bad, but the other two…ugh.
Why are celebrities even invited to this thing, anyway? Isn’t it supposed to be for the presss.
Not overly thrilled with the dress it’s ok seen better ones with her but, I like the look. Not surprised to see that she was invited to the white house I saw the show on TV and Wanda Sikes was a classic..loved her remark on teachers.
BALENCIAGA!
Husband. Stealing. *****.
beautiful. bad dress.
I like her a lot, but she is not 27 years old, but more like 29-30 years old- this year.
jared you might wanna censor one of those pics, i see part of a nipple..pic 7
that is a very unflattering dress
Poor choice for a flat-chested girl!!!
Geithner is evil incarnate, Gates is close and don’t know much about Jarrett.
Nothing to be flattered about there.
Gorgeous!! Simply gorgeous!!
@ Toni, Do you believe ever false rumor you read? Even JJ agreeded that rumor was false. This is not the first time Sean Penn split up with Robin Wright Penn. Unfortanitly, this second split came at a bad time and the moron’s and gossip tranny queen’s out their will alway’s speculate. Give Natalie some credibility. Hell! The woman has an IQ of nearly 160! She is not going to sleep around with someone that is 21 year’s plus older then her! Hint! Most woman like younger men that, are hunks! You really sound like a moron! I guess your IQ from reading gossip crap is around 49?! Nope. Maybe higher. You can actually read but, on the bullsh*t!
@ Me, What?? Her boob’s are covered! What? She should have a nun robe on?! GO back to church and stop sounding so prudish!
@ Funkey,
I admit. This is not the best dress I seen her in. It looks actually like something out of ROTS. I don’t like the high waist style on her. She has a nice teeny waistline and should show it off. Well. She was invited to the White House yes! I see no Rachel Bilho was invited. Gee???? Wonder why??
Go Natalie!! You rock! You hater’s can go to hell! :D
@ Toni,
Please read more carefully and read the whole article if, your attention span will allow you to. JJ said, “It was NOT TRUE!” IDK why JJ would post garbage like this but, it was some gossip magazine that did that and JJ actually went to bat for Natalie.

the dress is alright, it doesnt really look good on her because she doesnt have nice boobs
but i do gotta say she looks beautiful, that face of hers looks so amazing =]
she should have been more careful with the dress, u can see some pink of her nipple, altho im not complaining =p, thxs natalie
boring =/
Classy? Common guys! I can see her nipple, that is not classy
wheres her boyfriend, the dictator loving Sean Penn. what is it with hollywood and dictators, they even loved Adolph Hitler back in the day. They really love that POWER! I bet 3/4 of them would give an arm to be able to have someone beheaded. Sounds harsh I know, but it VERY true. They love POWER
@29 her IQ is no where near 160-she ain’t no member of Mensa or are you saying she is better than Albert Einstein whose IQ was 154?
Right maybe someone should suggest she use her brains to find a nice guy rather than the idiots she hooks up with.
This dress isn’t that great and I don’t think realizes that it has shiffted and showing a tiny bit of pinkage, but she still looks very lovely.
Chavez is an elected official you moron.
omg i love natalie portman/ this dress is fab/ she always looks hot!!
Her tits are so small
Natalie is a beautiful young woman, but that evening gown is not doing a thing for her. If it were a midnight blue or a blue-violet halter or one-shoulder, she’d look sensational. The neckline/bodice area needs reworking. She’d look lovely in the hot pink cocktail dress in the attached YouTube link video - the dress with the fitted strapless bodice and crystalline organza flounce skirt. Natalie has a lovely figure, but the dress she’s wearing is not accentuating what it should, in my opinion.

The girl is a husband-stealing sex fiend. And she went to meet the president with her nipple hanging out. Geez. A Harvard grad.
Cute dress. I din’t realize she was so flat chested. Is she really f****** Sean Penn?
I LOVE her, but not her dress. Not flattering for her figure, or lack thereof.
Natalie is full of kaka. Any body who wears a dress like that which
shows one’s prepubescent mosquito-bite like breasts certainly CANNOT have a high IQ. So enough with all the Harvard garbage. She probably purchased her degree.
i love natalie portman! she’s smart, grogeous and really witty.
aw Natalie is gorgeous! I don’t like the dress, but meh, can’t win them all. I’m curious where #29 got the 160 IQ from?
What idiots. Portman never hooked up with Sean Penn. She attended that event with Rashida Jones and only popped over to Penn’s table to say hi (since they sat on the jury at Cannes together) then she and Jones went to another party together. Which has been confirmed by just about every single individual involved. Oh right: Star, the totally honest tabloid, says otherwise. I forgot. I’m sure they didn’t publish that story without so much as a picture just to get attention.
Anyway. The dress is slightly large on her because it actually belongs to her mother. She took her mother with her to the Oscars a few years ago and that’s the dress she wore. I don’t know how I feel about the dress on Natalie, but I think it was very down-to-earth of her to wear it.
Surprise, surprise. All the “sex fiend” “husband stealer” crap is coming from chicks. Jesus. No wonder women catch such a bad rap in the industry as being hyper-judgemental harpies.
And do you know what the saddest thing in the world is? As Jon pointed out, that rumor was started by Star magazine!
Susan and Rhonda are most likely over-the-hill and were left for younger women. They over-identify with the Jennifer Anistons of the world, sadly. You know ‘em: the ones obsessed with Twilight; the 40 year old women in love with Robert whathisname.
Geez. Portman just broke off her relationship with the Venezuelan singer. You believe the rumor she dated Penn? :snorts: There was a rumor a few years ago that she was gay but still in the closet. Since there isn’t a single smidge of evidence in favor of either, which one’s true?
Portman’s IQ: probably the same as most people.
wow.
Not her best look.
YES!: Natalie is actually 27. he was born on June 9 1981. She’ll be 28 this year.
so prettyy! the dress doesnt fit her well but i like the design a lot. oh well, she still looks gorgeouss.
She looks nice, but she’s looked better. I think the dress is at least a size too big. But her hair and makeup are lovely. She’s a pretty girl.
About the whole Sean Penn rumor fiasco: no one knows her life. I don’t know about the rest of you but when I walk into a room to find a group of ladies gossiping about another person based on something someone says someone else swears they saw (like the Yeti), it turns my stomach. Why the need to feel morally superior by casting a stone blindly at someone? Only TABLOIDS are printing that story with a straight face. I think most intelligent humans would draw their own conclusions from that considering how many hookups tabloids claim have taken place. How many pregnancies they’ve inaccurately called. Divorces. Etc, etc.
It’s sad to get b*tchy over something you’ve basically made up in your head. I like coming here to look at the pretty pictures too, but there’s a point where you have to act like an intelligent and mature adult.
stunning!
That’s not possible betty
um.. yeah, i hate to be a perv, but is there a little slip action going on on the right side? :/
That is a very naughty dress. Secretly she’s a little exhibitionist, Natalie. I’ve seen her in more revealing dresses where her boobs almost fall out on the sides. But with that sweet angelic face she always gets away with it…

Nothing wrong with a flat chest (better than fake breasts), but flaunting the flatness is not flattering especially during a dinner at the White House .
Speaking of this celebrity filled dinner… not really sure of the significance. These people don’t live in the real world, they could each give a fraction of their checking accounts and pay off our country’s debt.
The whole Harvard = Intelligence idea is highly exaggerated. Celebrities are accepted to Ivy League schools all the time. Sure, some may enter on merit and scholastic performance, but most are accepted on the basis of celebrity and $$$.
she looks like a squirrel
She looks like crap
Maybe it’s women who hate other women for being husband stealing wh0res because women who do that are scum, they don’t care about the women whose husband they are stealing!
i rechecked this pic again you people are on crack b/c there is NOO picture of her cleavage falling out and i looked at it on every angle she is totally cover..Proves power of suggestion gets around. If someone claims I see it then everyone does like the emperor’s new clothes..
NO the dress isn’t her best but then again she is attractive and beautiful woman I think she could make a Hefty bag look fashionable.
As for the husband **** OH GET OFF IT Natalie never stole anyone’s husband and the Penn’s have been at Divorce court many years prior to this. If he looked at Selma Gomez or any young hollywood chic the tabloids would convence you they were all over each other by a glance..YEA ok and if you trust this then there is beach front property I can sell you cheap in the artic.
Her boobs can’t fall out!!!!!!!!!!!……there aren’t any !!!!!!!!!
Nat may have no boobs, but she will always have more talent, brains, class, and beauty than the likes of Rachel Bilson, Paris Hilton, Heidi Montag, and other ditzy wannabe actresses in HW.
beautiful, beautiful and marvellous ! very clever and a lot of class !
Natalie is NOT a husband stealer. This was completely fabricated rubbish from rag mag Star. JJ confirmed this story was “NOT TRUE” in the post below.
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/03/25/sean-penn-natalie-portman-makeout-madness/
@anakin
Completely agree with you
Love her!
She is adorable she has the nack to make anything look good and no there is no exposure on the cleavage. The fact she was invited to the White house means a lot. As for those who named the want to be actress such as BILSON, MONTAGE or HILTON none of those woman have really much intelligence for anything but shopping and the first two GOD they are just pathedic to begin with.
She wasn’t involved with Penn and I’m sure the tabloids will try their best to sell you on the fact she would get involved with him…NOTTT the woman has greater common sense then that.
And someting else about the Penn rumor that bothers me: she’s never dated a guy more than a handful of years older than herself. Lukas Haas, Gael Garcia Bernal, the English guy Jude Law introduced her to, Devendra Banhart, and the Israeli actor. I’m pretty sure these guys have only been, at most, five years older than her.
Isn’t Sean Penn like twenty years older than her? He’s extremely different from anyone she’s been known to date.
Crowe, what’s not possible?
Toni, I think what people are saying, and what you are rather conveniently ignoring, is that only some TABLOIDS have said they hooked up. And in fact, just as many tabloids have said the story is false. No pictures, no nothing other than an ‘unnamed’ ’source’. Now, if you want to take every rumor as fact without any evidence to support it, than simply admit so. if you have a genuinely good reason to think Natalie Portman and Sean Penn had hooked up while he was still involved with his wife then please enlighten the rest of us.
And I’m sorry with the Wright/Penn relationship is incredibly boring. That’s the other key reason that I hate how it’s highjacking threads about Portman.
Penn and Wright both filed for divorce in late 2007. They didn’t stop preceeding until spring of 2008. And honestly, I don’t know what anyone expects from that relationship. James Franco, Penn’s costar in Milk, said in an interview that Penn still texts Madonna. Penn dated Jewel during his separation from Wright in the late 90s, because OH YEAH, this is not the first time these two drama queens have done this little dance.
To be completely honest, I have no sympathy for women like Wright. She knows this guy sleeps around but she stays with him. And he’s done this througout their 11 years of marriage. And Sisterhood aside, what kind of women who wants a healthy and stable life, for herself and her children, puts up with that?
My sister’s boyfriend/fiancee (they were together 8 years when he cheated) cheated on her and she took him back. He did it again and she still took him back. He did it again a few months ago. And I told her that he’s only cheating on HER because she won’t dump his useless butt and find an intelligent good guy. Sorry, but cheaters cheat. Thus the name.
So, sob about poor Robin all you want. Women who play into this are at best delusional- about relationships and our gender.
I agree with you Betty here on the Penn/Wright idea once a cheater always a cheater. A leapord won’t chance his strips not even for the opposite sex. And yes both tried divorce back over a year ago and b/4 it was finalized they stopped it and reconcilled. But, if Wright keeps taking him back shame on him the first time shame on her the second. I think now it possibly will go through. I don’t feel Natalie has any association beyond business if that.
And normally Natalie will date someone a year to 18 months but, I’m sure she has had longer relationships in her time but, this is just Fabricated BS started by some tabloids that had nothing better to write that week.
beautiful to bad hayden couldn’t have been there with her instead off with rb .
And the Natden fan girl arrives–get over it otherwise people will comment he is not good enough for this *****.
Crowe, what is your problem exactly? I never got people tossing out c*nt, b*tch, whatever about a celebrity unless that person was known to be verbally or physically abusive to people or something similar. Otherwise, it’s just you being weird and creepy about someone you don’t actually know.
I agree with Betty. It’s sad that people have gotten so riled up over something they basically made up in their heads.
Of course you agree with Betty Jon you are one in the same when thinking.
@72 - I agree…Hayden and Nat would make such a super awesome couple! Go NAYDEN!!!
No. 24 she’s 27 years old and she has grown into lovely and smart young lady. And don’t have to have the paz to make her popular. And that dress looks good on her its part of growing up don’t you think? She’s alwys my favorite here.
@Me!:
There actually is a nipple visible on one of the pics… One would think the dress would be done to be more “safe” in that area :-P
No there isnt any nipple exposure so get over that only those who wish there was will insinulate there is. As for the Nayden that man is a messed up fool and I don’t think he likes the part time beard he has that hangs on him when convent. Otherwise people wouldn’t be making obvious opinions on him. As for if he would have looked better with Nat maybe but that man is immature even now, for HC to move into her circle of intelligence he needs to lay off the looser and dope.
I like her a lot, she’s really funny and a ball of energy.
Wow, Crowe, that’s a really riveting response. Obviously, you put a lot of thought behind it. Absolutely no real argument to put out there.
And yes, quite obviously I agreed with Betty. As you agree with a few other posters in this thread. What, precisely, is your point? And I think I’m being generous by assuming you have one.
Did you catch her new home she just bought a house in Los Feliz, Los Angeles. It’s truly impressive
I love Natalie! She is so gorgeous!
