19 90s 2000s 2010 s

Dresses slimmed down to become more fitted,

with fashion-forward Marie-Chantal Miller

choosing a column-skirted, pearl-encrusted

Valentino gown. By the end of the decade, Stella

Tennant wore a streamlined, tulle-adorned

Helmut Lang creation for her nuptials.

Diversity and expression from the past

infiltrated styles at the turn of this century.

Daring details abounded, from Gwen Stefani’s

dip-dyed pink John Galliano dress to Lauren

Davis’ beautifully layered Nina Ricci master-

piece with its voluminous sleeves.

Tradition has come full circle, so that even the

most fashionable brides are covering up in a

demure and modest nod to bridal heritage. With

the return of full sleeves, lengthy veils and lace

detailing, Grace Kelly’s glamorous 1950s wed-

ding is still one of the most emulated looks. �
