Famous Wedding Dress Worn by Popular Personalities

Less than 48 hours after the release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, the official replica of Bella Swan’s Carolina Herrera wedding dress has hit stores.

According to the Wall Street Journal, designer Michael Shettel (who works for wedding retailer Alfred Angelo) hooked up with Summit back in May, after Herrera had designed the dress Kristen Stewart wears to wed Edward Cullen in the movie, to whip up an affordable version of the long-sleeved gown.  He used liquid satin and “chantilly-like” lace after a visit to the real dress on set, and came up with a $799 version that hit stores this morning.  He tells the Journal, “It really is for a Twilight fan because it does represent what the film is about…but I think the silhouette transcends many different viewpoints.”

Meanwhile, the white cowl neck gown that Pippa Middleton wore to her sister’s wedding to Prince William in May finally hit Net-a-porter this morning.  It was listed for just over $3,100, but sold out in minutes.  If you had your heart set on McQueen, may we suggest this $28,000 hand embroidered to look instead?  If it’s the silhouette you’re after, there’s a shorter red version available.  Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee it’ll make you as popular as Pippa.
