Actress Emmy Rossum has tied the knot with Mr Robot creator and director Sam Esmail.

The couple, who became engaged in August 2015, wed in an intimate ceremony at a synagogue in New York on Sunday with a host of famous faces in attendance including Mr Robot star Christian Slater and actors Robert Downey Jr, William H Macy and Hilary Swank.

Shameless star Rossum wore an off-the-shoulder white wedding dress, which was custom-made by designer Carolina Herrera for the nuptials, along with a long white veil, while Esmail looked dapper in a simple black suit.

The couple began dating in 2013 after Rossum was cast in Esmail's first full-length film, the romantic drama Comet. The 39-year-old director proposed to the 30-year-old actress after two years of dating.

Rossum previously spoke about having her dress made by Carolina Herrera, saying she was not nervous about the process of having it designed.

"She's got it," Rossum said. "There's no rush. She can turn it around in a day. I'm not concerned."

"I don't really care what the dress looks like. I don't really care what the plates look like. I don't really care what the invitation looks like," she added.

"The only thing that’s really important to me is that we get married and there's some kind of party."
