The brides that got it right! As Getty heiress Isabel, 32, stuns in a mini frock and blue heels, the best celeb wedding gowns (… and those who should’ve said no to the dress!)
Getty heiress Isabel Getty, 32, married British financier Faris McKinnon at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, wearing a white skirt suit and cobalt blue heels that have been praised as one of the standout celebrity bridal looks of recent times. The wedding is being framed within a wider round-up of famous brides who "got it right" with their wedding-day style, alongside others who reportedly missed the mark, highlighting how much scrutiny falls on celebrity and high-society brides' dress choices.
For the ceremony, Isabel wore a fitted white jacket with fringed edging and a matching mini skirt by designer Paula Nadal (£933), paired with a white pillbox-style hat and pointed cobalt blue Manolo Blahnik heels; Faris wore a blue double-breasted suit. The couple, who have a young son, Viggo, celebrated afterwards at Harry's Bar in Mayfair, arriving by vintage Rolls-Royce while guests travelled on a hired red Routemaster bus. The piece also cites other celebrated bridal looks, including Grace Kelly's 1956 lace gown for her wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco, as examples of getting bridal style right.

Getty heiress Isabel Getty, 32, has married British financier Faris McKinnon at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London. Her wedding-day outfit, a white skirt suit paired with cobalt blue heels rather than a traditional gown, has drawn attention for breaking with convention.
The Getty family is one of America's best-known wealthy dynasties, built on oil money, which means Isabel's wedding attracts the kind of scrutiny usually reserved for celebrities and high society. Her choice of outfit is being discussed alongside other well-known celebrity brides, past and present, whose wedding looks have been judged as either successful or unsuccessful.
This kind of story sits within a broader tradition of the media assessing celebrity and society wedding fashion, comparing new looks against enduring style icons such as Grace Kelly, whose 1956 wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco is often cited as a benchmark for bridal elegance.
