“What could be better than a Vera Wang dress?” said Kate Hudson, the heroine in the movie Bride Wars. says. And really, what could be better? It seems that every second girl dreams of a wedding look from Vera Wang. And the designer herself has been the unspoken name of the wedding fairy for years. In works of art (no other way of saying dresses), A-list stars and even favorite movie characters have appeared in front of the altar.
Remember Blair Waldorf’s outfit in Gossip Girl? So its author is Wong. Yes, and in “Sex and the City” Carrie tried one of the designer’s masterpieces. And after the release of the aforementioned film “Battle of the Bride” even a cult phrase appeared: “Vera Wang’s dress is not customized for them, but for the dress themselves.”
Today, June 27, bridal fashion queen Vera Wang turns 73. We thought for a long time how to congratulate the legendary designer – to tell his extraordinary story or to show Wong’s best images (believe me, there were a lot of them). But they still decided to dwell on the iconic dresses he created for the stars. We invite you to consider seven wedding pictures that went down in history.
Victoria Beckham (1999)
The victory of Victoria and David Beckham was made on a royal scale. The couple rented a 15th-century Luttrellstone castle in the suburbs of Dublin, with a flag waving the initials VDB, the newlyweds sat on thrones, and a crown displayed on the singer’s head. Looking at Victoria’s body on her wedding day, it’s hard to believe she gave birth to her first child just four months before the celebration. But the corset pulled Posh Spice’s waist up to 47 centimeters (to achieve this effect, the corset was sent six times from New York to London and back for lacing). The singer drew the design of the outfit herself and then asked Vera Wang to bring it to life. It cost $100,000 for a 50-metre champagne-colored satin star with a six-metre train.
Ivanka Trump (2009)
Donald Trump’s eldest daughter married businessman Jared Kushner, who unites multi-billion-dollar capitals. Ivanka planned an event for 500 people in just three months and even converted to Judaism for the sake of her fiancee. Ivanka was too afraid to appear too frank on the altar, so she asked Vera Wang to create a discreet but elegant dress. The designer admitted that she was inspired by Grace Kelly’s wedding image. As a result, the lace outfit cost Ivanka 100 thousand dollars.
Chelsea Clinton (2010)
500 guests, including Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and Barbra Streisand, watched the former US president’s daughter marry her childhood friend, Mark Mezvinsky. Tens of meters of fabric were used for the silk organza dress. The dress turned out to be a model of the “American dream”: this model is still the most popular among brides. Meanwhile, to prevent shrewd journalists from filming the wedding from a bird’s-eye view, authorities in the town of Rhinebeck, New York State, even closed its airspace.
Kim Kardashian (2011)
Kim Kardashian’s second marriage to American basketball player Kris Humphreys lasted only 72 days. But the wedding celebration took place on such a scale that it is still remembered. Now the unofficial ambassador of Balenciaga, Kim appeared before guests in 2011 in a handmade lace fluffy chiffon dress. She completed the image with a diamond veil with a total weight of 65 carats.
Tina Kunaki (2018)
At the end of August 2018, the whole world discussed the wedding of Vincent Cassel and Tina Kunaki, which took place in the town hall of the resort town of Bidart near Biarritz (southwest France). The bride also preferred the classics and took part in the celebration with the creation of Vera Wang. Ivory bustier dress with a puffy skirt and plunging neckline was created especially for Kunaka.
Ariana Grande (2021)
Ariana Grande secretly married real estate agent Dalton Gomez last year. The official ceremony was held at the singer’s home in Montecito. Only the closest were invited to the event, the guest list included a little less than 20 people. Grande shared the first photos from the celebration just 10 days later, and finally the whole world saw the wedding look Vera Wang created especially for her. No fluffy skirt and lace – the singer appeared before the altar in a satin dress and a neat bow veil. They say that the image of Audrey Hepburn in the movie “Funny Face” was an inspiration.
Gwen Stefani (2021)
Gwen Stefani is a great example of the fact that age is not a barrier to marriage. Last year, the singer remarried, her chosen one was a colleague on The Voice show Blake Shelton. With him, the artist even managed to release a joint album. The couple’s celebration took place at Blake’s ranch in Oklahoma. The author of the luxurious wedding images, of course, was Vera Wang. Stephanie encoded secret messages on her clothes: the names of her children from her first marriage to Gavin Rossdale were embroidered on the first dress, and two pigeons and chicks were embroidered on the second dress.
