[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm happy for her but her dresses feel a bit drab, considering money wasn't an object and top designers and Anna Wintour were advising. I would've liked some color. Why would one wear whites at 50? Looking forward to dresses Lauren Sanchez picks for her wedding.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Okay then, what color? Given the color palette of the wedding, what would you put her in?

Because when you start considering your options, you quickly realize they're all pretty shite. Pale pink? She's 50, not a little girl. Light green? with her complexion, really? Deep blue? WAY too businesslike. Vampy red like the pic linked upthread (which is phenomenal on her)? Wildly inappropriate for a wedding of this type/location (however traditional it may be elsewhere). A yellow? It would have to be buttery to go with the gardenish theme, and again, not the easiest on her complexion. Something printed/floral??

She wore a traditional dress for a traditional event. While she's made more bold choices for other events, nothing she's pictured in on this thread is particularly groundbreaking or convention-defying, which says that she has a pretty traditional USian sense of style. That you're surprised by her wedding choices is probably more about you than her.

But please do give some examples of how you would've made changes. I'm legitimately curious.[/quote]
