Charli XCX officially tied the knot with The 1975 drummer George Daniel on Saturday, July 19, in London and in a twist that no one saw coming, the self-proclaimed brat pop star wore Vivienne Westwood.
The civil ceremony reportedly took place at Hackney Town Hall, and our eyes were on Charli’s dress: a romantic corseted Westwood gown that instantly sparked flashbacks to that iconic Sex and the City scene. You know the one Carrie Bradshaw, heartbreak, the bird headpiece, and a Westwood wedding dress that went from tragedy to fashion legend. Since then, the designer’s bridal gowns have become the unofficial uniform of offbeat cool-girl weddings.
Charli joins a line-up of modern icons who’ve said ‘I do’ in Viv: Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Vicky Krieps. Demi even wore a custom Westwood gown for her own wedding not too long ago - corseted, structured, and effortlessly lowkey, much like Charli’s. And in true brat fashion, she styled the gown with her signature curved sunglasses paired Jimmy Choo Amita 85 Patent Leather Slingbacks. It’s so nice to see a bride not trying to be someone else on their wedding day. Charli didn’t tone anything down - she still looked like her, just in a really good dress.
Following the ceremony, she changed into a second white, long-sleeve mini dress paired with a tiny clutch and the best part? Her exact wedding gown is now available to rent on By Rotation for £160 a day. Charli may have built her latest era around chaotic eyeliner and hyperpop soundscapes, but this bridal moment proves she knows when to go classic. Westwood’s legacy lives on, one rebellious bride at a time.
