Wedding season is in full swing after two years of delayed or pared down “micro” ceremonies, and one thing is clear: Classic is out, wear-what-you-want is in.
For the big celebrity unions of the season, that shift has brought us Kourtney Kardashian’s corseted Dolce & Gabbana mini dress with a dramatic long veil of Catholic iconography, Chloë Sevigny’s eclectic mix of custom ensembles at her hometown nuptials, and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s old Hollywood glamour gown paired with chunky ’90s-style platform heels. Just last week, Britney Spears put a twist on a custom Versace gown when she accessorized it with an embellished, wide white choker.
And collections for 2022 and 2023 aren’t following a handful of trends but are flush with different silhouettes, details, textures and colors. At New York Bridal Fashion Week in April, designers offered idyllic gowns in colors like blue and blush, caped pantsuits, colorful floral prints, chic mini dresses, romantic barely-there sheer looks, and sartorial nods to various decades from the corset-wearing 1890s to the midriff-baring 1990s.
