Princess Iman Pahlavi Marries Bradley Sherman in a Cross-Cultural Parisian Celebration
Surrounded by close family and friends—including the bride's grandmother, Her Imperial Majesty Empress Farah Pahlavi—the wedding served as both a private milestone and a public tribute to enduring heritage. The event was steeped in tradition and yet unmistakably modern, reflecting the bride's deep cultural roots and contemporary worldview.
Princess Iman wore a custom Elie Saab gown that transformed into three different looks throughout the day and evening — merging timeless grace with versatile design. Her grandmother, Empress Farah, also wore Elie Saab Couture, a nod to legacy and sophistication, while the bride's mother and sisters were dressed in elegant couture ensembles that mirrored the refined tone of the occasion. The groom and the bride's father were dressed by NB44, a menswear label by Nicholas Bijan, the son of the late iconic Iranian-American designer Bijan of Rodeo Drive fame and a longtime friend of the Pahlavi family.

Inside Huma Abedin and Alex Soros's Wedding at Home in Water Mill
Skip to main content This past Saturday, the political strategist, author, and longtime aide to Hillary Clinton married investor and philanthropist Alex Soros among family and friends at their home in the Hamptons On Saturday, Huma Abedin, the political strategist, author, and longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, married investor and philanthropist Alex Soros at the couple's home in Water Mill, New York. The couple first met at a party hosted by their friends James and Nicky Hilton Rothschild in October 2023 and started dating shortly thereafter. In June 2024, they got engaged after Soros proposed to Abedin with an emerald cut diamond ring flanked by a pair of slim baguettes at their Manhattan apartment. 'Alex bought the ring one morning and proposed by our dining table that same evening. He handed me the ring in a taking out bag saying that it was 'dessert,'' Abedin tells Vogue . 'It had been a long day at work, and I was distracted because I was leaving for a trip early the next morning. It was a total surprise and a beautiful one!' A few weeks later, they traveled to Italy, and he proposed again on the balcony of their hotel room. Abedin and Soros had always intended to elope, but the plan changed at an engagement party co-hosted by former first lady and secretary of state—and Abedin's longtime boss—Hillary Clinton, whom she started working for as a 19-year-old intern while attending George Washington University. 'It was an unexpectedly wonderful journey,' Abedin says. 'We got engaged with no plans to have a wedding. We talked about hosting small dinners in different cities because we have close family and friends all over the world. But once we decided to have a wedding, or rather when we were instructed to have a wedding by Hillary and Anna [Wintour], who pulled out their calendars and suggested the date—despite Alex saying he was scheduled to be at a conference in Europe!—it was set.' After they locked in the date, the couple knew immediately that they wanted to do it at home. Partly because a big wedding was never originally in the cards, Abedin was relatively laid back throughout the entire planning process—which, she notes, made it a lot more fun. 'Our first meeting was at my mother-in-law Susan's house with Hillary and Anna, and when all three asked me what I wanted, it was a surreal moment to have people who cared so much about making the day perfect for all our friends and family,' Abedin recalls. 'I am pretty set on what I do and don't like, so making decisions was easy—but there were a lot of decisions.' The couple worked with the celebrated event and floral designer Raúl Àvila to design their wedding weekend, and to oversee all of the flowers. 'I have known Raúl for years and attended several events he has created and always thought they were the most chic, elegant evenings,' Abedin says. 'He and his mighty team were a dream to work with and brilliant at creating and bringing together extraordinary design and aesthetics—from the tent, to the decor, the flowers, the flow of the evening, and the music.' Also on hand to help bring the day to life was Vogue 's director of special events, Sache Taylor. 'Sache was the cipher on the team who was the heart center—her dedication, her commitment, her spirit, her inimitable sense of competence and style,' Abedin adds. 'It was a joy to be around her.' The couple held two ceremonies over the course of the weekend. On Friday, there was an intimate service at Soros's father's home in Southampton with family and friends, to sign the nikah in honor of Abedin's Muslim faith and the ketubah in honor of Soros's Jewish heritage. For this special ceremony, the bride wore an ethereal custom lace dress by Erdem. This service was followed by a lunch for family and close friends, to which the bride wore an Oscar de la Renta dress adorned with a purple allium flower motif. On Saturday, a larger celebration took place at the couple's home nearby, for which the bride wore a custom Audrey Hepburn–inspired Givenchy dress by Sarah Burton. The off-the-shoulder look featured a delicate belt and a row of covered buttons along the back, while the couple's initials were incorporated into the intricate olive branch embroidery on the ivory silk satin-backed crepe fabric. Abedin worked with stylist Bailey Moon to pull all of her looks together. 'He has such a wonderful manner,' Abedin says. 'I love working with him. He has the best style sense and knows exactly what I would love—including shoes that were comfortable and earrings that were classic and simple.' To that end, Moon borrowed a pair of Victoria-era Briony Raymond earrings, and selected satin Loeffler Randall block heels. Kelli Hoff swept the bride's hair up into a soft updo, and Kirin Bhatty created her natural beauty look.

5 Things to Know About Piaget's New High Jewellery Collection, Shapes of Extraleganza
In the sculptural heart of Barcelona's Casa Corberó, Piaget unveiled the second chapter of its high jewellery trilogy: Shapes of Extraleganza . More than a showcase of dazzling craftsmanship, the collection is a manifesto for the Maison's evolving identity—where elegance meets exuberance, and jewellery becomes a playground of shape, colour, and artistic ambition. The star-studded unveiling drew brand ambassadors and friends of the Maison including Amber Valletta, Ella Richards, Gianna Jun, Apo Nattawin, and Junho Lee, reinforcing Piaget's connection to global style and cultural influence. 'Piaget is getting closer to its own vision,' says Jean-Bernard Forot, Head of Patrimony. 'A vision where there is no border between watches and jewellery—they are both art.' With 51 avant-garde creations, this latest chapter pays tribute to Piaget's radical past, while boldly stepping into the future of wearable art. 1. It's a tribute to art, artists — and the Piaget Society With Shapes of Extraleganza , Piaget continues to honour its deep, personal connection to the art world. The Maison's longstanding creative relationships with cultural icons — Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, and Arman among them — were born not from strategy but friendship, evolving naturally from the cosmopolitan "Piaget Society" of the 60s and 70s. 'The Piaget family developed a true connection with artists,' says Jean-Bernard Forot, Head of Patrimony. 'Even artists from the movie industry and sports. That's what made this society of Piaget so inclusive, mixing people from different backgrounds.' Today, that spirit of collaboration continues, as the Maison works closely with contemporary artists to push the boundaries of high jewellery design. 2. It's an explosion of geometry, colour, and cultural references The collection is a dynamic mix of sculptural form and visual surprise—shapes within shapes, curves clashing with zigzags, and playful nods to Pop Art, Op Art, and the Memphis movement. With 51 pieces across several suites, Piaget revives ornamental stones like rhodochrosite and sugilite in bold, mosaic-like settings, while introducing rare black opals and fiery garnets in complex, wearable architectures. 'We tried to balance exploration of stylistic elements with wearability,' says Forot. 'Whatever it is, the idea is to balance the surprise — what makes you smile when you discover a new piece from Piaget — with comfort and ease.' From striped collars to secret watch rings, it's jewellery that makes a statement while staying true to its purpose. 3. High jewellery meets high watchmaking at Piaget – as always
