The couture shows, which just wrapped in Paris, presented one exquisitely-crafted staggeringly beautiful gown after another. But there’s piece in particular that has always held our fascination–the last look, traditionally a bridal look. (How stunning was Lindsey Wixson as Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel couture bride?) So we decided to delve into the history a bit more. Read more →
Drew Barrymore got married over the weekend, to beau and alleged baby daddy, Will Kopelman. The internet’s been buzzing for a few weeks now about her dress, which turned out to be Chanel, designed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld himself, People is reporting. Choosing Chanel was no coincidence. Will Kopelman’s dad, Arie Kopelman, used Read more →
We never would have pegged her for it but from the looks of her wedding photos, Kim Kardashian is a MEGA Neverending Story fan. Okay, maybe Kim didn’t actually take inspiration from the classic 80s movie, but c’mon you have to give it to us: She’s a dead ringer for the film’s Childlike Empress.
Wearing white to a wedding when you’re not that bride? It’s the cardinal wedding sin. Or it was.
Kate Middleton famously had her bridesmaids wear white–and we don’t have to tell you how well that went over, particularly for a certain, um, callipygian Maid of Honor.
Two months later the other Kate–Kate Moss, of course–also dressed her bridesmaids and flower girls (all 15 of them) in white. Guests Carine Roitfeld, Bella Freud, Naomi Campbell and Stella McCartney were also spotted wearing the shade at the wedding.
And now Kim Kardashian has jumped on the bandwagon, choosing white gowns that look remarkably like wedding dresses for her bridesmaids at recent nuptials. And while limited photos of Kim K‘s big wedding have been released, we already know that at least Lindsay Lohan wore white, and apparently the invite called for guests to wear black or white.
So what’s going on here?
Kate Moss continues to make us jealous with her storybook-perfect wedding. In the video above hear everyone from Marc Jacobs to Mario Testino wax poetic about Kate’s big day–and why the model continues to fascinate the fashion world. Hint: For Testino, it’s a cologne-versus-perfume thing.
The wedding sounds like it was even more fun and amazing than all the photos make it seem–Jacobs says it felt like a “beautiful, spontaneous moment,” while Candy Pratts Price reveals that “[Kate] actually looked back at all of us when she had to say ‘I do,’ which we all thought was hilarious.” Aw. Stylist Camilla Nickerson even says, “It was one of the best nights of my life.”
One of the news/gossip threads running through all of 2009 was when and where Marc and Lorenzo would finally get married. Would it happen in Provincetown? Turns out, no. Then rumors circulated about Brazilian nuptials. Now Guest of a Guest is reporting that the couple said “I do” while vacationing in St. Barths. As if Read more →
Claire Danes is tying the knot, and Narciso Rodriguez, her longtime friend and frequent fashion date, is designing for her. Not even close to a shocker. We totally saw this one coming. But naturally, this makes us incredibly nostalgic for the gorgeous Narciso-designed Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wedding dress that first brought the designer onto our Read more →
With April comes the proximity of June, which, yes, means we’re officially in wedding season. So while discussing attire options for an upcoming betrothal this morning, a debate raged: Is it ok to wear white to somebody else’s wedding? On the one hand, you can usually assume the bride will wear white, and showing up Read more →
Remember when Sex and the City: The Movie came out and that Vivienne Westwood wedding dress Carrie gets stood up in turned out to be available in real-life, costing certain SATC obsessives around 30,000 pounds to have the dress made-to-order? Well, the dress has been rescaled and re-imagined for the average customer (who has about Read more →
