Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling and Japanese singer Akira’s wedding day saw the couple in multiple outfit changes, with the bride sporting a total of five dazzling looks.
She was statuesque in a custom Ralph Lauren gown for the traditional wedding rituals at an ancestral hall in the afternoon, with strands of pearly embellishments draped across her shoulders.

This was followed by a powdery pink Sophia Wedding Studio midi paired with Jimmy Choo’s Cinderella heels, a pink bespoke cheongsam, and a glittering blue gown with a plumed cape by The Atelier.
She ended the night with a bang (we heard the after-party was wild) in a sexy shimmery mini by Nicole Felicia Couture that had her long, toned gams on display.

When news of Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber’s wedding broke, her gown was pretty much a mystery, since the bride kept it under wraps by walking to her venue inside a white tent.
Photo and details later emerged of the model’s spectacular off-shoulder lace wedding dress, which was designed (surprise!) by Virgil Abloh, founder of luxury streetwear label Off-White.
The edge of the six-foot veil was embroidered with the phrase, “Till Death Do Us Part” in Off-White’s signature font, as was the back of her dress, which sported the words “Wedding Dress”, spelt out in pearls.

Brides in favour of chic wedding dresses that exude effortless simplicity will want to take their cue from Hong Kong actress Fala Chen.
The 37-year-old had a low-key wedding in Paris with Frenchman Emmanuel Straschnov, whom she’d been dating for three years.
Her minimalist gown had a sheer neckline and long sleeves, as well as a bow-adorned open back. Simple earrings and a sophisticated low bun finished her classy, timeless look.

After an epic legal ceremony in Las Vegas, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas had a more formal wedding in the South of France.
Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière was behind her stunning ballgown, which took the classic silhouette for a modern spin with structured shoulders, long lace sleeves, a deep V neckline, and glimmering embroidered skirt, as well as an open back.

Citing Princess Anne, Bianca Jagger, Princess Grace of Monaco and Jane Seymour as sources of inspiration, aside from Victorian references, it’s apparent that singer Elle Goulding is a fan of classic bridal looks.
“I wanted to bring together modern and traditional elements,’ she told Vogue. Designed by Natacha Ramsay-Levi of Chloe together with Goulding herself, the silk crepe dress had a high lace neckline, padded shoulders and hand-embroidered White Roses of York motifs as well as white glass beads.
Her veil was stitched with her and husband Caspar Jopling’s initials, E and C.

For Singapore actress-host Belinda Lee,”a wedding dress should be an intimate reflection of your personality and style.”
“I chose an off-shoulder silk crepe mermaid gown from by Romona Keveza from Belle and Tulle for its chic and timeless elegance,” she revealed in a caption that accompanied her Instagram photo.
She said “I do” to American architect David Moore in October, with an intimate ceremony and a reception in a Peranakan restaurant that was attended by close friends and family.
Daughter of Singapore beauty mogul Jean Yip, Rachel Wee celebrated her union with Ken Chen with an underwater-themed wedding banquet at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore – the extravagant affair even appeared on British television series My Crazy Rich Asian Wedding.
The bride’s wedding dress was a lavish Rebecca Caroline ballgown embroidered with sequins and crystals, which she wore with a glittering tiara.
She told us,”I fell in love with as soon as I put it on – was so different from the mermaid I envisioned myself wearing but did not suit my petite frame. The final touch was a stunning cathedral-length veil with Swarovski crystals.”
The granddaughter of the late Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, model and competitive equestrian Charlotte Casiraghi made it official with French film producer Dimitri Rassam.
She pledged her vows in a classic-style Saint Laurent brocade dress that had long sleeves and three bows down the front that was reminiscent of Princess Grace’s own embroidered suit for her civil ceremony. Later, she donned an architectural Chanel gown for the reception.
Her bling of choice and another sentimental tribute to her late grandmother: A three-strand Cartier necklace that came from Princess Grace’s jewelry collection, and was a gift for her 1956 wedding.

The model married Dutch Dj Tiesto in a desert wedding at the Amangiri resort in Utah this June. For the ceremony, she chose a Berta gown with a plunging neckline, and which sparkled beautifully against the backdrop of the rugged landscape.
She later slipped into a floral A-line gown by Oscar de la Renta for the evening’s festivities.
