The creation featured a low-cut and waist-defining bodice with a full skirt to emphasize the burlesque dancer's signature curves. Not to be outdone, Dita pushed tradition even further by wearing a custom purple dress by Vivienne Westwood when she wed Marilyn Manson in 2005. At the time her dress, also designed by John Galliano, received incredible attention for its avant-garde look. In 2002, Gwen wore a white-to-pink ombre silk gown to marry fellow musician Gavin Rossdale. Now, brides like Gwen and Dita are leading the charge toward a new trend of color-drenched gowns. That dress marked a shift in the history of the celebratory gown. White was a popular color for brides in the 18th century, and became increasingly fashionable when Queen Victoria wore a white gown to marry Prince Albert in 1840. While Kate's ivory gown is a popular choice for brides today. Her shimmering veil featured 270,000 gold sequins, 120,000 foil paillions, and 2,800 pearl beads, all of which took 253 hours to apply. The show-stopping "phoenix feathers" sewn onto the gown echoed the movement of the garment's fabric and took more than 700 hours to embroider. When the 40-year-old model married guitarist Jamie Hince in 2011, she turned heads in a stunning "phoenix feathers" gown and coordinating veil designed by her close friend, renowned designer John Galliano. The exhibition follows the history of wedding fashion, including early pieces through the couture work of designers like Vera Wang and Jenny Packham. The beautiful designs, along with the more than 80 others on display, are a part of the V&A's current fashion exhibit Wedding Dresses 1775-2014. Supermodel Kate's John Galliano creation was a defining moment for "boho-chic" brides everywhere, while Gwen and Dita encouraged women to walk downy he aisle in colorful dresses.ĬLICK ON PHOTOS BELOW FOR WEDDING DRESSES
