What Does Everyone Really Think Of Gwen Stefani's Wedding Dress?
Aside from being a chart-topping singer and a former coach on "The Voice," Gwen Stefani is also a fashion icon whose passion for clothing influenced her to become a designer. After it was announced that she and country singer Blake Shelton got married over the weekend, it came as no surprise that fans were eager to see what the "Rich Girl" hitmaker wore on her big day.
As previously reported, the pair tied the knot at the chapel Shelton built at his home in Oklahoma. The intimate venue was decorated with flowers and had 40 guests in attendance, per TODAY. After the news broke, Stefani took to Instagram and shared a number of snapshots from her wedding day. The Grammy Award-winner stunned with her platinum blonde locks in a bun. While wearing a veil, she teamed her ensemble with a strapless white dress that was low-cut in the front. The No Doubt frontwoman opted for what looked to be fishnet tights and ankle boots that matched her dress. In true Stefani style, she applied her signature bold red lip and looked very glam from head to toe.
In a separate Instagram post, Stefani posed alongside Shelton in a number of snaps. In the third frame, the couple can be seen sharing a kiss next to their tall wedding cake while each holding a beverage. In the span of 11 hours, the photos racked up over 1.3 million likes, but what do fans have to say about Stefani's "party" dress? Keep reading to find out.
Gwen Stefani's dress had fans in awe of the style icon
With millions of fans around the world and a high-profile career that spans more than two decades, it's not surprising that the internet had something to say about Gwen Stefani's wedding dress. Fortunately for the "Make Me Like You" singer, fans could not get enough of her attire from her big day.
"I'm not a celeb watcher or wedding dress fan but how amazing does Gwen Stefani look in both her dresses?" one user tweeted. "Gwen Stefani in a mini wedding dress & stiletto cowboy boots is my everything goals," another person shared. "@gwenstefani your wedding dress was pretty, like you. Congrats queen," remarked a third fan. "WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DRESS!!" a fourth user wrote passionately in capital letters, adding numerous crying face emojis.
According to Harper's Bazaar, legendary fashion designer Vera Wang designed Stefani's beautiful look. "Fairytale love..... soooo happy for you both! XXV. And yes, the bride wore white," Wang wrote on Instagram. It seems Stefani has cemented her status as a fashion icon once again!
Gwen Stefani actually wore TWO wedding dresses
As it turned out, Gwen Stefani actually wore not one but two couture Vera Wang dresses on her wedding day. Page Six reports she had one dress for the ceremony and another less cumbersome one for the reception. Her ceremony gown was a georgette-style gown with a sweetheart neckline and lots of tulle filling out the high-low skirt. The tulle portion was then covered with a veil hand-embroidered with Blake Shelton's first name alongside Stefani's, followed by the names of her three kids, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
The second dress looked much more like something you could dance in. Page Six described it as the reception dress was also heavy on the tulle, but was strapless and short with a skirt featuring "sequined embroidered foliage." She donned a shorter veil with a big bow to complement this more casual dress, worn atop some fishnets and heeled cowboy boots.
Stefani's husband and children were paid a nice little homage in this dress as well, with two sewn love birds representing herself and her husband joined by three more to represent her children.
This wasn't the first time she wore a Vera Wang wedding dress
Funnily enough, Gwen Stefani actually gave the public a bit of a preview of her wedding dresses way before she even got engaged. At the 2019 E! People's Choice Awards, Stefani wore a white custom Vera Wang dress, which Page Six called "a rather wedding-inspired ensemble." The dress — inspired by Wang's 2020 bridal collection — was another high-low moment featuring a massive bow and the words "fashion icon" embroidered along the side of the skirt. At the time, the clear nuptial nod led to a swirl of engagement rumors.
To add fuel to the fire, Stefani donned a massive diamond ring on her left hand. When asked if the ring had any special significance, she told E! News, "It might be a real ring, a real diamond but it's not a wedding ring. No, no." Perhaps she was trying to send Blake Shelton a hint? Regarding an impending engagement, Stefani said, "When I have something to say, I'll say it." And sure enough, she did.
