What was Anna Wintour thinking?

For the PP who said her family wasn’t there, one of the pictures shows her with her sister and nephews and another shows her niece as a bridesmaid.

Do you know how many people are in the Bride’s side at a South Asian wedding? At barest of bare minimum 60 people. If your aunts, uncles and cousins are not at your wedding it is very, very weird. It’s clear she is more Meghan Markle than Lauren Sanchez.

Lady, you don't know anything about her family, nor do you know anything about if they wanted to be photographed or even have their photograph published in a fashion magazine. Shut up, you weirdo.

Lauren Sanchez will be falling out of whatever she plans to wear.

I thought everything was lovely and appropriate, although that shade of white wasn’t the best against her skin tone.

I am waiting to see what Lauren Sanchez turns up in. It will be a way more interesting thread.

You have to be famous to be friends with Huma Abedin.
No mention of Chelsea Clinton at the wedding.

There is and a picture as well. Her dress is hideous.

It's not really surprising she's friends with those women -- they all live in NY and are in similar social and charitable circles. Huma has always been a fashion girl and it's zero surprise she's friendly with Anna Wintour, and thus Bee Schaffer (Anna's daughter), as well as designers like Chapman, Prabal Gurung, Tori Burch, etc. (who were also all at the wedding). Huma and her husband met at a party thrown by Nicky Hilton (who was also there and also part of this same cohort). Do you really think its' weird that people with similar interests and taste, who live and vacation in the same places and go to the same parties, might know each other and be friends?

Also, it doesn't say she's "best friends" with any of them. Vogue of course featured photos of the famous and fashion-adjacent people at the wedding. These aren't her personal wedding photos. These are the photos of the event that Vogue chose to feature, highlighting the people and aspects of the wedding that would be of the most interest to Vogue readers. Notice there is exactly one photo of Huma's sister, who was her maid of honor, and the just one photo of the bridesmaids in order to feature their designer dresses, but their names aren't even listed. I suspect Huma spent more of the day with those women than she did with Jennifer Lawrence or Tori Burch, just as any bride does.

Huma literally refers to Bee as her "surrogate sister" in the captions and mentions "My dear friend Prabal". She absolutely is making a point to emphasize how close she is to al these famous fashion people.

Huma didn't write it, probably someone on Vogue staff did on her behalf. Why would she be so insecure to name drop, she is a billionaire and her adopted parents are former president and Secretary of State and God mother is Anna Wintour.

I am 45 and if I look that good in 5 years, I'll count my blessings. I do feel bad about what she went through with her ex. What a mess. The only "ick" I felt looking at those photos was the pic of Bill Clinton. Hillary and Georgina Chapman? Whatever, women are not responsible for the sins of their husbands, especially not husbands who cheated on them. I actually get why a lot of these people rally around Huma given their own experiences.

Also: you are surprised to see that the wedding of a billionaire's son and Hillary Clinton's right hand woman is filled with celebs? Of course it is, those are their circles. They met at a party thrown by Nicky Hilton and her husband. Come on.

Agree with this! Now do Usha Vance.

Usha, not everything has to be about you.

She wore off-white at her wedding and changed into silver. The wedding dress was simple, tasteful, and elegant. It was an at-home wedding, so something complex or lavish would've seemed ridiculous, and we all know who she is, what she's worth, etc. so no need to announce it. She's tiny and bird-like and the dress highlights this to great effect; that dress would look horrid on someone any larger. Whether or not that's your aesthetic (it's not for me), she's playing the role and wearing the dress, rather than looking like some kind of cosplayer as an overly elaborate dress wears her. The whitework (embroidery) is lovely, the details on the veil are simple but stunning, and the entire vibe is a perfect fit for the ceremony and setting.

Sorry y'all don't understand that, or are mad at her for being super thin and having famous friends or something, but this is well-executed.

HA looked lovely. She often wears deeper and bolder colors, and in a more dramatic style (as shown below), but the daytime wedding had a lighter, more springlike theme, which was beautiful. Regardless, she looked radiant and relaxed—a win on the day of the wedding!

+1 Guaranteed that her breasts will be prominently displayed.

I thought it was a huge display of wealth and I would not describe it with the word “understated”.
Lovely but curated to the nth degree- that’s where the wealth part shows.

We understand that. I don’t agree. She is a middle eastern Muslim woman getting married for the second time at home. She would have looked better in color. Gray is not a color.

Huma’s not Middle Eastern, you ignoramus. Her parents are Indian and Pakistani.

Great! I’m South Asian too. Do you know what Indian and Pakistani brides wear? Hint, nothing in the substance of what I said changes. They wear color.

I thought it was beautiful and they look deeply in love. Congratulations!
