Jennifer Lopez
The pop star dazzled in three bespoke Ralph Lauren gowns in one night!
Married to: Ben Affleck
On: 16th July 2022
The Iconic singer and actress Jennifer Lopez made waves with her elopement in July with actor Ben Affleck. One of the most loved Hollywood couples of the 2000s, the couple rekindled their romance 20 years later and delighted their fans with a much-awaited wedding. After a secret intimate soiree with their kids in Las Vegas, they celebrated with a luxurious ceremony and reception at Affleck’s plantation-style estate in Savannah, Georgia.
The weekend kicked off with a rehearsal dinner followed by the ceremony where they honored the nuptials again in front of a larger group of family and friends. A romantic, classy aesthetic of all white flowed through the event, from the elegant seating, aisle, and decor to the dress code for the guests, beautifully offset by the surrounding greenery. The star-studded guest list was gifted with custom tote bags emblazoned with “JB” and personalized name tags.
The bride turned to Ralph Lauren, her long-time go-to designer, for three sensational custom gowns for her wedding wardrobe. The ceremony gown, the first of the three, was an ethereal take on the designer’s signature turtleneck column dress and featured more than 1,000 handkerchiefs and 500 meters of fabric cut into ruffles, each of which was attached by hand to create the romantic, statement skirt. Complete with a cut-out back, soft ruffle sleeves, and a dramatic cathedral-length veil, the outfit was straight out of a fairytale! Delicate white pearl-and-diamond earrings and a matching floral ring by Mikimoto jewelry estimated to be almost $100,000 rounded off her classic heritage aesthetic.
Amping up the glamor quotient for the reception, Jennifer embraced a flapper-esque vibe with a chandelier-inspired couture piece adorned with thousands of cascading strings of pearls. Covered in micro-pleats of silk, tiny pearl embellishments, and Swarovski crystals that were embroidered on by thirty artisans putting in over 700 hours of work, the dazzling piece was perfectly teamed with Jimmy Choo’s pearl embellished Maisel sandals. A timeless updo and her classic glow softly elevated her look while allowing the outfit to shine.
For the final look of the night, she switched it up with a sleek mermaid-style gown with a keyhole neckline embellished with Swarovski crystals, and a full skirt topped with a hood-like organza overlay.
The trio of Ralph Lauren gowns marked Jennifer’s fifth official wedding look, having previously donned 2 stunning ensembles for her Vegas wedding. The actress had slipped into a vintage Alexander McQueen boatneck dress, something she had been saving for years, which made it all the more special. She had followed it up with a show-stopping number by Zuhair Murad, an off-the-shoulder gown with all-over lace, a corseted bodice, fishtail train, and sweetheart neckline.
