Today, February 18, Yoko Ono, John Lennon’s main muse and muse, turns 90. The leader of The Beatles and avant-garde artist became an unspoken symbol of the 1960s, and their extraordinary relationship was truly appreciated by an entire generation. They created, they fought for world peace, but most importantly, they sincerely loved.
They say Yoko only needs to have a meeting with John to realize it’s her destiny. Returning home after the “Unfinished Paintings and Objects” exhibition they met, Ono wrote in her diary, “I finally met a man I can love.” The next day, Lennon found postcards from the artist in the mailbox with the words “Look”, “Dance”, “Remember”. The singer took very simple, but very romantic notes almost every day. A few years later, Lennon would say, “He was an intellectual or a goddamn avant-garde.”
They began living together two years later and were married on March 20, 1969, on the Gibraltar Peninsula. And yes, Yoko’s wedding look has gone down in history forever. Instead of a fluffy dress with lace and ruffles, the bride appeared in a plain miniskirt, stockings, and white sneakers. She completed her outfit with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. This ensemble looked truly avant-garde, in keeping with the rebellious nature of the artist.

Today, on the occasion of the legend’s birthday, we’ve rounded up six more extraordinary wedding looks from the stars.
Marilyn Monroe (1954)
The sexiest actress of the 1950s was married three times. And if 16-year-old Norma Jean first chose a classic white dress with lace and a veil for the celebration, she decided to try it a second time. For a secret wedding with Italian baseball player Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe wore a little black dress with a white collar and pearl buttons. By the way, the outfit was just over $200. It doesn’t fit the image of a sex symbol at all, does it?
Audrey Hepburn (1969)
In 1969, Audrey Hepburn married psychiatrist Andrea Dotti. Of course, the outfit for such a solemn event was created by Hubert de Givenchy. It was a petite pink, high-neck A-cut dress that perfectly accentuated the actress’ long neck. She completed her minimalist look with a matching scarf and elegant pumps.
By the way, we recently published an article where we talked about five iconic items Hubert de Givenchy created for Audrey Hepburn.
Kurt Cobain (1992)
Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love have been referred to as the ’90s king and queen of grunge, Sid and Nancy. And it’s not just about creativity and lifestyle, it’s also about style. And here’s the proof. In 1992 Kurt and Courtney decided to get married. They did it beautifully, in a hooligan way, as befits the mainstream rebels of the 90s. She’s in her favorite plaid pajamas and she’s in the dress of actress Frances Farmer, whom they both admire.
Sarah Jessica Parker (1997)
If you google Sarah Jessica Parker’s wedding dress, the search engine will return a thousand (if not more) photos with shots from the Sex and the City series. But the actor’s actual wedding image is overshadowed. And I’m so sorry! At least because Parker married actor Matthew Broderick in a black Morgane Le Fay dress with a strappy bodice. By the way, the choice in favor of such an ambiguous outfit was not made at all, as the actress wanted to stand out. On the contrary, he did not want to attract attention. Sarah and Matthew hid the wedding until the end – the guests even thought that they had just been invited to the party. It was only during the celebration that everything fell into place.
By the way, the actress recently admitted in an interview that she regretted the choice: “Today, I was going to put on the “right”, beautiful wedding dress, as I should have done at the beginning. I’d prefer something Oscar de la Renta style with pockets, a fitted top, and an oversized taffeta or duchess satin skirt.”
Pamela Anderson (2006)
What did you expect from a Malibu lifeguard? A fluffy Vera Wang dress? here and no. Pamela Anderson, in a snow-white bikini, a light dressing gown and a captain’s hat, married musician Kid Rock. Although the marriage only lasted a few months, the “beach” wedding was definitely worth it.
Angelina Jolie (2014)
Oh, there was a time! In 2014, the long-awaited event of Brangelina fans took place. Of course, about the couple’s wedding. The celebration took place at the players’ own mansion in Chateau Miraval in the south of France, and only 22 people were invited. The bride’s Atelier Versace dress deserves special attention. The fashion designer of the house Luigi Massi worked on the creation of the image together with the children of Jolie and Pitt. They drew the drawings and the designer handcrafted them into the hem of the dress and veil. This is a complete work of art!
