We expect brides-to-be to bawl when they see themselves in their wedding gowns. But when a movie star is moved to tears over her character's white dress, well that's just a little too much.
In an upcoming issue of Town and Country Weddings, designer Carolina Herrera talks about the gorgeous gown she created for Twilight: Breaking Dawn. But more interesting than that work she put into it was Kristen Stewart's reaction when she tried it on.
"We did three fittings. When she initially put on the dress and looked over her shoulder into the mirror, she was very moved," Herrera says of the actress. "In that moment she was not an actress or a character in a film but instead a bride, and a happy one at that."
Herrra describes the dress, which took six months to make and retaisl at $35,000, as a "union between Stephenie Meyer's description in the book and the Herrera bridal aesthetic." It's possible that the designer put more effort into this gown than she has for her real-life clients.
"I took into consideration the character of Bella and Kristen’s portrayal of her, and what this fantasy character would choose to wear for the most important day of her life," she says of the gown. "It’s made of a crepe satin with two inserts on the front and beautiful silk thread topstitching. The neckline is a slight V, just enough to see the collarbones. The back is oval-shaped, with a Chantilly lace border veiled in tulle. It’s very romantic, and when all the details come together, it creates a vision specific to Bella’s style and personality."
Perhaps Stewart will turn to Herrera to create a real wedding dress. That is, if Robert Pattinson ever pops the question.
