Billionaire dynasty heiress Isabel Getty recently married British financier Faris McKinnon in a London ceremony, drawing attention for her chic bridal attire. Getty, 32, the great-granddaughter of oil magnate J. Paul Getty, wore a fitted white jacket with fringed edging and a matching mini skirt, paired with a white pillbox-style hat and cobalt blue Manolo Blahnik heels for the occasion.
Her wedding to McKinnon, 41, took place at Chelsea Old Town Hall, followed by a reception at the exclusive members' club Harry's Bar in Mayfair. The couple's young son, Viggo, was also part of the ceremony. Guests were showered with confetti and petals as the newlyweds departed in a vintage Rolls-Royce convertible.
Getty's ensemble has been noted for its stylish departure from traditional wedding gowns, aligning her with a list of notable brides who have chosen distinct and fashionable wedding day looks. Among those cited for their bridal elegance are Grace Kelly, who married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956 in a timeless gown featuring an antique Brussels lace bodice and a nine-foot silk taffeta train, and Kate Middleton, whose 2011 Alexander McQueen gown for her wedding to Prince William featured intricate lace detailing representing the UK's four countries. Princess Beatrice also made a memorable choice, wearing a remodelled Norman Hartnell gown previously worn by Queen Elizabeth II for her 2020 wedding.
The article also highlights other celebrity and royal brides, including Princess Iman of Jordan, Amal Clooney, and Daisy Lowe, who opted for elegant and custom-designed dresses. It also touches upon some bridal looks that, according to fashion commentary, missed the mark, such as those worn by Eva Herzigova, Dua Lipa, and Meghan Markle, with discussions ranging from fit and construction to overall suitability for a wedding day.
