Star
Jones One of today's most versatile designers, Reem Acra's styles range from opulent attire for prominent society weddings, including Star Jones' strapless silk taffeta gown with its body-conscious silhouette, to apparel for intimate occasions, such as the sensuous ivory silk charmeuse number with a plunging neckline worn by "Married.....With Children" star Katey Sagal.

Crawford Supermodel Cindy Crawford
donned a body-baring slip dress by John Galiano for her 1998 beach
ceremony with Rande Gerber. Delicate lace draped over a white
lining provided the perfect canvas for her sun-bronzed figure.
Heidi Klum Supermodel Heidi Klum was five months along in her pregnancy when she walked down the aisle in an ivory Vera Wang creation with an Empire waist which proudly displayed her burgeoning figure. Constructed of Chantilly lace, the gown was reminiscent of Regency era regality. Donna
Karan Designer Donna Karan was also inspired by the romantic looks of yesteryear when she created an Edwardian-influenced tulle gown accented with crystal beads for music legend Barbra Streisand. The ultrafeminine frock was accented with a 15-foot veil and an antique diamond and pearl choker. Kate
Winslet Kate Winslet, who wed director Jim Threapleton one year after the release of Titanic, was also influenced by the Edwardian era, wearing an Alexander McQueen creation for the house of Givenchy dripping with thousands of antique beads. Christie
Brinkley A snow white Giorio Armani jacket paired with a floor-length skirt with a sweeping train in the same pristine shade symbolized a new beginning for all-American supermodel Christie Brinkley, who wed Peter Cook in an outdoor ceremony in the Hamptons. Camilla
Parker Bowles While most women take on the surname of their spouse upon marriage, when Camilla Parker Bowles said "I do" to Prince Charles in a knee-length chiffon dress paired with a silk coat designed by Robinson Valentine she also gained a title, becoming the Duchess of Cornwall and the future princess consort. While the frock worn
for the civil ceremony was considered conservative, the bride
dazzled during the blessing service in another Robinson Valentine
creation-- a porcelain blue coat dress with metallic thread woven
into the fabric to give the gown a pearlescent shimmer. The bride
topped off the look with a crown-like chapeau of golden feathers
fashioned by Philip Treacy, who over the years has created headwear
for Madonna and Boy George. |
