Breaking Bridal: Unexpected Celebrity Wedding Looks
We're a sucker for a good classic, but we also applaud brides who take a risk on their wedding day.
When Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl (above, left) decided to tie the knot, we knew that whatever PalermoĀ wore would be of the utmost style and sophisticationābecause Palermo's style never disappoints. And as we expected, when the two wed just a few weeks ago in New York, Palermo's nontraditional bridal look caused tons of oohs and ahhsāand it wasn't because she was doused in tons of chantilly lace and beaded crystals. Instead, Palermo stepped out in chic Carolina Herrera separates, breaking bridal rules in all the right ways.
But Palermo isn't the first to say "I do" in an unexpected ensemble. Brides have ditched the traditional precedents that says they must wear white on their wedding day. Take a look at Sarah Jessica Parker (above, right)āwho's undeniably the queen of successful risk-takingāshe departed from traditional white and went in the complete option direction when she chose to wear black for her big day.
But breaking bridal is nothing newāit just keeps getting better. One of the most iconic wedding looks that still stands out today is that of Bianca Jagger's. When the actress wedĀ Rolling StonesĀ frontman Mick Jagger in Saint-TropezĀ in 1971, she wore a YSL Le Smoking jacket and accessorized with an over-the-top wide brim hat that was complete with a veil. How's that for nontraditional?
