JUSTIN BIEBER TIES THE KNOT
Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber) made a stunning bride at her wedding to Justin Bieber
SHE’S married to the man of her dreams. And Hailey Bieber found the dress of her dreams in which to say “I do”, with the newly-wed sharing a series of pictures of her ornate, pearl encrusted lace fishtail gown.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the bride posted the images from her wedding to Justin Bieber a week ago, writing: “last Monday, was the most special day of my life)”.
The Vogue model thanked her dress designer, Virgil Abloh, for the creation, writing: “Thank you for making my vision come to life and creating my dream dress. You and your Off White team are incredible, and I’m forever grateful I got to wear your beautiful creation”.
Chicago-based designer Abloh’s label, Off-White, has become a celebrity favourite. The label’s distinctive branding features liberal use of quotation marks and large capital letters, used as a way of conveying detachment from society and social norms. Hailey’s long veil featured that signature branding which read: “TILL DEATH DO US PART”.
The long -leeved ceremony gown featured a nearly 2m train and was one of three distinctly different dresses she chose for her star-studded wedding day.
Along with her embellished lace dress, she chose a plunging curve-hugging silky number that could pass for a negligee. The frock strongly resembled the satin wonder that fashion publicist Carolyn Bessette wore when she wed John F Kennedy Jr in 1996.
And for her reception dinner, the beauty wore a halter dress that looked very like the same Stella McCartney gown Meghan Markle wore during reception dinner at Frogmore Cottage.
Hailey and Justin, who originally wed in a secret ceremony in September 2018, exchanged vows in front of 154 guests at the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort in South Carolina on September 30, and as her new pictures show, they gave one another new Tiffany & Co wedding bands to mark the occasion.
Both Justin, 25, and his 22-yearold wife’s jewellery could be seen in one of Hailey’s new pictures from the big day, with Hailey wearing both the Tiffany Soleste 18-carat gold diamond-encrusted band, which is valued at $3 125 (R47 741), and the $2 150 Tiffany Soleste 18-carat gold and diamond V-ring.
Hailey wore some other pieces from the high-end jewellers for the wedding, including a pair of over five carat diamond stud earrings which were valued at $123 000.
Also seen in the pictures is Justin’s new watch, a $50 000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks creation which he bought as a ‘wedding gift’ to himself.
Justin and Hailey exchanged vows front of the likes of Ed Sheeran, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Usher and Jaden Smith – in the Somerset Chapel within the grounds of the Montage Palmetto Bluff hotel. Kylie was accused by some on social media of trying to upstage the bride by wearing a very racy gold gown that put plenty of cleavage on show.
It’s believed the ceremony was conducted by Justin’s pastor Judah Smith, while Hailey’s sister Alaia Baldwin and cousin Ireland Baldwin were her bridesmaids.
Once their wedding was done and dusted, Justin uploaded a photograph of the newly-weds sharing a smooch and wrote: “My bride is (fire emoji)”.
The man behind Hailey’s gown is a celebrity favourite with a long-time relationship with Kanye West as they both interned at Fendi in the same class back in 2009 as they began a collaborative relationship.
Soon thereafter, the 42-yearold rapper appointed Abloh as the creative director of his creative agency, DONDA.
He then served as artistic director of the 2011 Kanye and Jay-Z collaborative album Watch The
Throne in 2011.
Abloh went on to launch his first company called Pyrex Vision in 2012 but quickly shut it down as he did not want it to be a commercial enterprise.
In 2013, Abloh founded his first fashion house with high-end streetwear brand Off-White which is based out of Milan, Italy.
It has become the brand of choice for A-list celebrities including Beyoncé, Serena Williams, and of course, the Biebers.
In March 2018, Abloh was named artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s ready wear line which made him the first person of African descent to lead the brand’s menswear line.
