Gabbriette Bechtel, an American model, and Matty Healy, frontman of the band The 1975, exchanged vows in a Hollywood ceremony on Saturday. Bechtel revealed on Instagram that her bridal gown was designed by the avant-garde fashion label Matières Fécales.
The Paris-based brand has gained recognition among celebrities, with notable fans including Zendaya, Demi Moore, and Lady Gaga. Bechtel's couture gown featured a sweetheart neckline, a sculpted bodice with ruffled long sleeves, and a full skirt with an intricately embroidered train. Ruffled details adorned the neckline and cuffs.
The wedding took place at Castillo del Lago, a venue formerly owned by Madonna. A source told the Daily Mail that the couple married under the Hollywood sign as the sun began to set. Among the celebrity guests were Charli XCX, Emily Ratajkowski, and Alex Consani, along with Healy's bandmates.
A representative for the couple confirmed the marriage in a statement, stating, "Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends." Healy wore a classic black tuxedo with a white dress shirt and black bowtie, accented with a white corsage on his lapel.
The reception was held at the same property, where Healy performed a set with The 1975 for the guests. The couple's relationship began in September 2023, and they announced their engagement in 2024 after a nine-month romance. Healy's mother, Denise Welch, a panelist on "Loose Women," expressed her happiness about Bechtel becoming her daughter-in-law.
Bechtel, who was previously the lead vocalist and songwriter for the punk-pop band Nasty Cherry, gained wider recognition as a model and social media influencer. She is from Orange County, California. The couple's wedding festivities reportedly involved significant travel arrangements for guests, with over $134,000 spent on flights for family and friends to attend the California celebration.
Prior to the wedding, Bechtel had a bachelorette party in Las Vegas, documented on social media. Images from the event showed her in various white outfits, including a vintage Chanel suit and a bejeweled bra and pants set. Guests at the bachelorette received custom T-shirts. The couple's union follows Healy's brief relationship with Taylor Swift in 2023. Swift recently married Travis Kelce.
