The bride wore a minidress: Shorter lengths make a statement in bridal fashion
Kateryna Zemliakova donned a floor-length gown with voluminous removable sleeves by Rara Avis for her wedding ceremony at a 14th-century castle in the Czech Republic in May. But her real statement look was the minidress with flutter sleeves, made by Sova Nataliia, that she wore for the reception. 'I picked the minidress about eight months before finding my ceremony dress,' said Zemliakova, 30, who works in pharmaceuticals and is based in Prague. 'The moment I saw it on Instagram, I knew that it was the dress. I wanted a look that felt elegant but still playful, something that would reflect my true personality and add a touch of fun to the celebration.' No longer reserved for intimate nuptials or micro-weddings, minidresses have recently taken centre stage in many wedding wardrobes. British singer Charli XCX wed George Daniel, drummer for the rock band the 1975, in July wearing a corseted minidress by Vivienne Westwood. She was the latest of a growing number of celebrity brides to embrace the look. Read more: She designs with love, for love: Nurita Harith speaks on her bridalwear journey 'Brides are moving away from formulaic bridal wear,' said Brigitte Stepputtis, the design director of bridal at Vivienne Westwood. 'Mini silhouettes resonate because they are playful but timeless.' Designer Idan Cohen, who created the custom after-party dress that Demi Lovato wore for her May nuptials to singer Jordan Lutes, agreed: 'Many brides don't want to be seen as a princess for the entire evening, and minidresses can give them that moment of showstopper attention without the large gown,' he said. Minidresses first gained popularity in bridal fashion in the 1960s, a period of social change. Celebrity brides like Sharon Tate, Yoko Ono and Jane Fonda wore them for their courthouse weddings. Over the years, minidresses became a favoured look for city hall ceremonies and intimate weddings. As bridal wear evolved, brides began wearing minidresses for the reception or after-party, as well as for pre-wedding events like bridal showers and rehearsal dinners. Recently, choosing a minidress has become as important as choosing a traditional gown. 'We're definitely seeing more brides choosing a mini for their formal ceremony, often paired with a detachable overskirt for added drama, which they can remove for the reception or after-party for a true minidress moment,' said Giselle Dubois, the CEO of Spina Bride, a bridal boutique in New York City. 'It's a modern, budget-friendly alternative to a full ball gown and lets them carry the look into the rest of the night.' Many brides, she said, look for minidresses with the same construction and elevated details as traditional wedding dresses. In some cases, they are looking for the mini to outshine the gown. 'A large number of our brides come to us specifically for minidresses for their reception or after-party,' Dubois said. 'Most have already found their ceremony gown and are looking for something as special as their ceremony dress. They often want something bold and unexpected, such as a mini with fringe or feathers, a bubble skirt or architectural silhouette.' Christy Baird, the founder and owner of Loho Bride, a boutique in Los Angeles, has also seen a rise in demand for minis. 'As brides are leaning into more modern, personalised weddings, they're favouring minidresses to allow them to express a different side of their style,' she said, adding that she had seen the trend on runways at bridal fashion weeks and on social media. 'As weddings become less traditional,' she added, 'The minidress is becoming more of a bridal staple, not just a quirky outlier.' Minidresses have long been a favourite silhouette with almost every designer, from couture to ready-to-wear. Designers often take inspiration from traditional wedding gowns, adding details like long trains that drape on one side, detachable, oversize bows and long sheer or lace underskirts. This summer, they have been busy creating even more options for brides. In June, Andrea Osei Bride debuted a capsule collection of blue minidresses. Halfpenny London introduced a capsule collection in collaboration with Net-a-Porter. For her June wedding, Cassie Thorpe, a 32-year-old from New York, wore a structured minidress by Berta, accessorised with a puff-sleeve cape, cathedral-length veil and crystal-embellished legging boots. She said she chose to wear the minidress for her black-tie celebration because she wanted a statement piece. 'When I first tried on the dress, I didn't want to take it off,' Thorpe said. 'The silhouette was simple and felt classic and timeless, just shorter. I knew I didn't need a long, traditional gown or a second dress because this was the one.' Thorpe recalled the reaction from her wedding guests: 'The full look offered all of the drama that I wanted when the double doors of the church opened. Everyone stood up and turned around to look at me as I walked down the aisle.' Read more: From vintage vibes to exaggerated hips, a look at the latest bridalwear trends She liked that she was able to adjust the look throughout the day and that she didn't have to worry about having a long train or a lot of material around her groom all night, she said. 'The dress felt very effortless to wear, and I had easy layers that I could remove for the reception and after-party,' she said. Lesley Brickman, a Los Angeles-based bridal stylist and the founder of The One Gown, said the mini look 'instills a sense of carefree fun and spirit. It can really inject new energy into the festivities when the bride steps out on the dance floor in a fabulous short dress'. For her second look at her May destination wedding in Provence, France, Helen Owen Kalter, 32, changed out of her floor-length gown by Galia Lahav and into a French-lace minidress by Maëlle. 'Beyond wanting a minidress so that I could dance freely all night, I felt that a more playful dress would bring fresh, fun energy into the second half of the evening,' said Owen Kalter, the founder of the Phlow camera app and a lifestyle and travel content creator based in Los Angeles. – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

Singaporean actress Michelle Chia marries 41YO boyfriend before 50th birthday
Jackson Tan and Michelle Chia first met in 2008, but their paths did not cross often over the years. It was not until 2025 that the couple began to interact more frequently. Photos: Michelle Chia/Instagram Singaporean actress Michelle Chia has tied the knot with her non-celebrity boyfriend Jackson Tan, after they dated for more than two months. The news was first reported by Chinese-language evening daily Shin Min Daily News on Aug 9. The couple held their wedding on an Indonesian island on Aug 8. They chose the date as it is easy to remember and they can celebrate future anniversaries along with National Day, which falls on Aug 9. Eight is also a favourite number among the Chinese community, as it symbolises prosperity. Chia, who turns 50 on Sept 19, told Shin Min : 'I didn't expect the biggest gift (my husband) would show up so suddenly in my life... The wedding on Friday was the best birthday gift I could ask for.' They chose the wedding venue as it holds great significance for them. The couple celebrated Tan's birthday there in February. The wedding was attended by about 40 family members and close friends, including artistes Jesseca Liu, Apple Hong, Priscelia Chan and Jayley Woo – Chia's co-stars from local TV series The Queen (2016). The wedding expenses were covered by Tan, 41, a real estate consultant. 'One of his wedding gifts was a five-minute fireworks show at the reception,' Chia told Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao in a separate interview. 'I wept for a full five minutes while watching it.' Chia, who said in an interview with Shin Min in 2016 that she had no plans to remarry, told Zaobao that Tan changed her perspective on marriage. She was married to Malaysian actor Shaun Chen, 46, between 2009 and 2011. 'Our relationship is like that of close friends,' Chia said of Tan. 'We look forward to coming home every day after work, staying home together, watching TV and chatting about life. We drink coffee together in the morning and can chat non-stop for one or two hours. 'He takes very good care of me, and our communication gives me a strong sense of security as well as confidence in our marriage.' Tan took part in Mediacorp's talent contest Star Search in 2007 and won the Personality title, but left the TV station within a year. He and Chia first met in 2008, but their paths did not cross often over the years. In September 2024, he wished her a happy birthday via a text message. Soon after, they met for coffee along with a mutual friend, but there was no spark at that time. It was not until 2025 that the couple began to interact more frequently, often meeting for coffee and chatting for four to five hours. 'It felt like being a student again,' Chia said. 'We talked about everything, including our ideals and philosophies in life, growing and learning from each other. We realised we are really alike: I am the female version of him, and he is the male version of me.' Their first date was at National University of Singapore's UTown, which was also where Tan proposed to her. His sister, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews were also present on the day of the proposal. On their age gap, Chia said she does not feel like she is approaching 50, both in spirit and appearance. She added that she has many aspirations and remains energetic and positive. Tan affirmed that what he requires in a partner is spiritual compatibility, and that nothing else matters. The couple currently have no plans for a honeymoon. Chia will fly to Beijing for filming, before travelling to India with friends in September. 'My husband cannot accompany me due to work commitments. But I'll be back a few days before my birthday,' she said. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Jennifer Lopez turned away at Chanel store in Istanbul
No Chanel, no problem. Photo: JLo/Instagram Jennifer Lopez was reportedly turned away from shopping at Chanel in Istanbul last week, a day before rocking the Turkish capital as part of her summer tour. The singer, 56, was shopping at high-end mall Istinye Park on Monday when a guard at Chanel told her the store was at full capacity, according to Turkiye Today. 'OK, no problem,' the Bronx-born A-lister answered, cool as a very wealthy, very famous cucumber. Employees later invited her to shop at Chanel, but Lopez declined, per local business outlet Patronlar Dunyasi. She reportedly went on to spend tens of thousands of dollars at other designer stores like Celine. A representative for Lopez did not respond to the Daily News' request for comment. A day after the reported incident, Lopez performed at the Istanbul Festival at Yenikapi Festival Park as part of her Up All Night Tour. She also played the Turkish city of Antalya late last month. The current tour comes a year after Lopez's infamously cancelled This Is Me… Live Tour to promote her This Is Me… Now album, largely centred on her reconciliation with Ben Affleck. Colloquially known as Bennifer, the couple was engaged in the early aughts and got back together in spring 2021. They tied the knot in two ceremonies in summer 2022, with Lopez filing for divorce on the second anniversary of the latter wedding. The split was legally finalised earlier this year. Lopez joked at her Bilbao, Spain, show in mid-July that she's 'done' with marriage following four divorces — from Affleck, Marc Anthony, Cris Judd and Ojani Noa — and additional engagements. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
