When we think of a wedding dress, we always have a fixed idea in our heads: pristine white, long, with a wide skirt and an eternal veil. However, this does not always have to be the case. Getting married is the perfect time to show exactly your personality. If you are boisterous and funny, a dress that reminds those of Andalusian gypsies is better. If you are calm and shy, do not think of inventing large necklines. The most important thing is that the dress reflects your style and way of being and feels beautiful in it. These wedding dresses, each one different from the other, show different trends in fashion, times, and the brides’ personalities. They all have something in common: they have been used by famous personalities, which is why they have been the target of many stars. Let’s check them all out! If you haven’t yet read the first, second, third and fourth parts of this blog, do it now!
GWEN STEFANI
John Galliano is the author of Gwen Stefani’s famous pink gown at her wedding to Gavin Rossdale in September 2004. She later donated it to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, as, for her, “it is an actual work of art. ”
SORAYA ESFANDIARY
It was a wedding of the Arabian Nights: Soraya Esfandiary married the Shah of Persia in 1951. She wore a strapless dress in silver lamé, embroidered with pearls and set with marabou feathers—a personal creation of Christian Dior.
CHARLENE FROM MONACO
For her wedding to Alberto de Monaco, the former swimmer took advantage of her physique and chose an off-white Armani mermaid dress that exposed her shoulders and was decorated with 40,000 Swarovski crystals.
CARRIE BRADSHAW
It was the big day: her wedding to Mr. Big. And from someone like Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City), you couldn’t expect less: a strapless corset decorated with a ruffled brooch, a curtain-like skirt with champagne and white layers, and a green headpiece over the veil. The design was by Vivienne Westwood.
ISABEL PREYSLER
Her link with Julio Iglesias was the great “Bodorrio” of the 70s. She wore a long-sleeved dress with a champagne-coloured sash, with ruffles and a high neck. Her hair was tied up in a bun from which the veil was attached.
ELIZABETH II OF ENGLAND
Angela Kelly, the queen’s personal advisor, says that Elizabeth II is a master in fabrics, cuts, seams … Thus, when she married in 1947, she gave a few instructions to Norman Hartnell. In coloured satin ivory, he made her suit with silver thread and 10,000 imported pearls from America.
THALIA
At that time (2000), nothing else was said about the spectacular dress that Thalía wore in her relationship with Tommy Motola, then president of Sony. Mitzy designed it; it weighed 70 kilos and wore a silver wire, crystal paillettes, Austrian rhinestones, 100 meters of silk…
CAROLINA OF MONACO
In 1978 all eyes turned to the link between Grace and Rainier’s eldest daughter with the ‘playboy’ Philippe Junot. She wore a demure sheer dress with a marked waist and embroidered lace, with floral decorations on both sides of her head. It was from Marc Bohan for Christian Dior.
MARILYN MONROE
In January 1954, the actress remarried to the then retired baseball player Joe di Maggio. She wore a black jacket and skirt suit, fitted with a white fur collar. The marriage did not last a year; he was jealous until the disease, and she could not bear it.
JULIA ROBERTS
The actress married cameraman Danny Moder in 2002. She chose a pink cotton halter-neck gown decorated with distressed pearls and beads and hand-painted flowers by Judith Beylerian.
