Wedding dresses of stars: from famous designers
Wedding found out what wedding dresses the star designers created for their friends - brides whose names are on everyone's lips.
Eva Longoria in Victoria Beckham
For more than ten years, fans have admired the strong friendship between actress Eva Longoria and designer Victoria Beckham. Therefore, no one was surprised when Eva decided to walk down the aisle in the creation of her best friend, who, by the way, was awarded the role of the main bridesmaid. “I asked Victoria to come up with this dress because I wanted it to be created with love,” the star shared in an interview. The result was a stylish look in the spirit of Beckham herself, but emphasizing the bride’s feminine figure.
Anne Hathaway in Valentino
It's no secret that Anne Hathaway is Valentino Garavani's favorite muse. For many red carpet appearances, she chooses Valentino dresses. The wedding ceremony was no exception. Especially for Anne, the designer created a fluffy princess dress with a pink undertone and open shoulders. The main highlight of the look was the lace bandage to which the veil was attached.
Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy
The famous designer never tired of admiring the beauty and talent of Audrey Hepburn and for many years created outfits for her that later went down in history. Hubert de Givenchy knew that the actress was always ready for fashion experiments, so he came up with a custom wedding dress for her. The image destroyed all the stereotypes about the wedding dress of that time: it was short, with a closed neck and pink, and the image was complemented not by a veil, but by a scarf.
Meghan Markle in Stella McCartney
Following trends and the example of Duchess Catherine, Meghan Markle chose two outfits for her wedding. The first dress for the ceremony was created by the Givenchy fashion house, and the second outfit was made to special order from Meghan's friend Stella McCartney. Even before the wedding, the designer worked on the images of the duchess, so she had a good idea of what the dress for the wedding party would be like. Minimalist, with an open back and a flared skirt, it was the perfect continuation of the first look and emphasized the bride's style.
Heidi Klum in Pierpaolo Piccioli
For a long time, the details of the star wedding of Tom Kaulitz and Heidi Klum were kept secret, but some time later the model finally revealed who designed her wedding dress. The designer turned out to be Valentino creative director and friend of Heidi Pierpaolo Piccioli. They developed the sketch of the dress together. On her Instagram, the model wrote that she dreamed of a princess dress, but in a modern style. For this purpose, an outfit was made of brocade, with voluminous sleeves and woven silver and gold threads. And so that it doesn’t seem old-fashioned, the designer came up with a model with dropped shoulders and a light veil.
Kate Moss in John Galliano
After John Galliano was fired from his post as creative director of the Dior fashion house, many stars refused to collaborate with him. But not his best friend Kate Moss. She not only supported the scandalous fashion designer, but also asked him to create an outfit for the most important day. “Kate’s dress became, to some extent, symbolic for me. The glitter on it is laid out in the form of the feathers of the Phoenix, which is always reborn from the ashes,” said the designer. After Kate's release, vintage dresses in a decadent style instantly became a trend, and the designer was able to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of fans.
Grace Kelly in Helen Rose
It is no coincidence that Helen Rose designed the wedding dress of the Princess of Monaco. She met Grace Kelly while working on the film “The Swan” and captivated the actress with her vision of what a woman should look like. It is not surprising that she had the honor of creating Grace's wedding dress. The designer involved 35 seamstresses in sewing the outfit, and work on it lasted almost two months. As a result, the dress, made of antique lace and ivory silk, embroidered with pearls, became iconic and is still considered an example of wedding fashion.
Jessica Bill in Giambattista Valli
Hollywood brides are clearly partial to pink wedding dresses. This can be seen in the example of Jessica Biel, who asked her friend and fashion designer Giambattista Valli to create the most romantic dress she could imagine. The director of the fashion house chose silk muslin as the main material and complemented the look with organza, small pearls and a classic veil. The designer clearly hit the mark: when the bride entered the hall, the groom and guests applauded enthusiastically.
