I'm sorry she died and it's probably design heresy to say it, but the late Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's wedding dress was horrible. There is such a thing as TOO minimal. Boring as hell. Wan. Lacking in structure, substance, adornment, or anything enduring.

It made women of lesser means think that a satin negligee was a good wedding look. It's the climax of the industrial plainness of the 90s, and the lazy idea that "minimal = classy," when the two are not necessarily synonymous (the link below comes from "Elegancepedia" for God's sake).

If Carolyn were alive today, I bet her over-plucked eyebrows still wouldn't have grown back.

Bessette was getting married in a small, simple church. Her dress isn't inappropriate for the venue and she had the figure for it. It's really not her fault if other people wore it wrong.

Diana pulled it off, but her dress was kind of awful.

Carolyn Bessette would have looked great in a paper bag, but that's exactly what that dress was: a white paper bag with a very wan baguette in it. As dull as shelf-stable milk. Who on earth wants to replicate Celine Dion's dress? Nobody. But everybody wanted to copy Carolyn's dress, which unfortunately made for a very boring decade. Cocaine minimalism, that's what it says to me.

I also don't think those two would have stayed married to each other, not that it matters much now. They would have divorced and remarried other people, and we'd be here on DL talking about those dresses instead.

I think of wedding dresses as looking symbolically appropriate up until about the 1970s. Maybe not what a woman would or could wear under any other set of circumstances, but at least coherent.

In the 1980s they began to seem really grotesque.

I think the worst decade for wedding dresses was the 80's. Poufs and bows and weird headgear. The Wedding Singer captured it well. I was rewatching Downton Abbey out of sheer boredom and thought Edith's dress was beautiful when she she got jilted at the altar.

There have been some beautiful wedding dresses--Princess Grace's was one. It's the fanciest dress most women ever wear and a lot of women don't really know how to dress themselves up. The wedding dress fantasy gets embedded very early--so, to some extent, a lot of women ended up wearing what they thought was beautiful when they were four, while others go for the hot prom dress look, but in white.

And, yeah, the 80s, which spilled over into the 90s were a trainwreck, thanks largely to Di.

Not just Di, but the weird synthesis of aerobic class-styling with over-the-top lace, high-necklines combined with weird strapless/off-the-shoulder looks. Two examples of this look from "iconic" 80s weddings of the day: Janet Jones Gretzky and Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger.

R50, I'd forgotten how fussy Maria Shriver's was--it was just so typical for the time that it didn't stand out to me. I was thinking Caroline Kennedy's wasn't so bad, but just looked and it hasn't aged well. I think it just didn't look so bad by comparison to other gowns during the same time.

Still like Princess Anne's, who'd have thought she'd be the one to have nailed her wedding dress?

Elizabeth Taylor was a fashion victim in nearly every one of her weddings. (The linked page has photos of 'em all). Hard to say which is the worst. The Nicky Hilton wedding dress was conventional and respectable. The Michael Wilding wedding suit was demure and cute. You can see the choices get worse from there, like alcoholic progression: the rainbow monstrosity of the second Burton wedding in '75, the knitwear disaster of the John Warner wedding in '76, and the lace-and-spray-tan nightmare of the Larry Fortensky wedding in '91 (with bridal attendant Michael Jackson loitering creepily outside the chuppah).

It would be a great costume party (or drag show) idea, though: "Elizabeth Taylor Brides."

by Anonymousreply 76June 30, 2021 2:09 AM

You can toss the word "iconic" around all the you want but the fact is that Princess Diana's wedding dress was a fiasco. It was a true product of the 80s; too damn much of everything, very over the top. Not only was it an ugly dress it was terribly unflattering to Diana's figure. She was tall and would have looked wonderful in something much simpler and understated. That damn dress wore HER, not the other way around.

Meghan Markle's wedding dress was on the opposite extreme; blah, boring, nondescript. It looked like it was made out of bedsheets. I think she believed she would liven the ensemble up by wearing a flashy tiara with emeralds but the Queen nixed that. She ended up wearing the Queen Mary Bandeau tiara that went very well with the gown. I thought the tiara was the best thing about her wedding attire.

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's wedding dress looked like a slip or a nightgown. That was considered to be SO chic, but the only type of person who would be able to pull off a dress like that would have to be someone built like a model, and not many women are tall and skinny like a model. The dress was an oddity.

Grace Kelly's wedding dress was one of the most perfect wedding dresses ever created. It also helped that the bride was stunningly gorgeous with a great figure.

I thought Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress was beautiful but she disliked it. The snobbish Jackie wanted a Paris gown, something sleek and haute couture. But her husband's father wanted something more traditional. The woman who designed her gown was a black woman named Ann Lowe. Although making the wedding dress for Jackie Kennedy should have really set her career on fire the opposite happened; she lost money and received no real recognition for her considerable efforts. Ten days before Kennedy’s ceremony a pipe bust in Lowe’s studio and destroyed the original wedding dress plus a further nine out of 15 bridesmaids gowns. The main gown had taken two months and more than 50 yards of silk taffeta to create. The designer’s team worked tirelessly to catch up and remake the intricate pieces, at a loss of $2,200 — about $21,000 in today’s money. Anyway, when asked who designed her wedding dress Jackie dismissively said "a colored woman."

I HATE it when brides don’t wear the veil. The millennials started this fuckery. Happy now Hayleigh? now you just look like you’re going to prom in a white dress.

I love the Victorian veils that drape over the head & gather in the back.

Nobody can step to the European aristos when it comes to tasteful weddings. They’re simple, elegant with just the right sentimental touches & all those children, dressed like little lords & ladies following the bride around. The understated bouquets, ancient churches, small guest lists… those weddings put these obnoxious American weddings to shame!

I love Jackie Kennedy’s lampshade dress, even though she hated it. Ariana Grande’s dress was showstopper. I loved Zoe Kravitz’s dress too but I think I’m in the minority on that.

Mermaid dresses, ball gowns with pick-ups and dresses with see-through bodices (pnina tornai lookin at u) all need to die & go back to hell from whence they came, forever

That also goes for the dresses that Ashleigh/Lauren/Jennifer ruins by adding a colored satin belt with a rhinestone brooch attached.

Also from the Vogue article R77 quoted verbatim but failed to credit:

[quote] It appears that by 1964 – by which point Jackie Kennedy was a widowed former first lady – any hard feelings from 11 years prior had softened. Lowe was quoted in the Saturday Evening Post to say the bride had been “sweet”, and Ebony magazine suggests this was when Kennedy learned of Lowe’s original ordeal.

[quote] Soon after, thousands of dollars in debt and trouble with the Internal Revenue Service were cleared for Lowe when an “anonymous friend” paid her back taxes, cutting her debts in half. According to The Washington Post, Lowe suspects the friend to have been Jackie.

I was an onlooker at Michael Hutchence's funeral in Sydney the following year. Every woman under 50 who attended it was wearing a [short] black slip. It looked like they'd all forgotten to put their clothes on. They were all rail-thin and looked...well, silly. Of course, Sydney is Colette Dinnigan Central, and it was her heyday as a designer. She never seemed to design anything but expensive lingerie, and was feted worldwide for it.

I seriously doubt that Jackie Kennedy was the "anonymous friend" who payed Ann Lowe's back taxes. That seems very out of character for her (she was not known for her generosity) and she and Lowe were far from "friends."

I hardly think so. Chelsea's dress has all those wonky, asymmetrical folds or ruffles in the skirt that sophisticated fashionistas like but which I really don't like. I would have chosen something symmetrical and traditionally pleasing but the fashion crowd would say I have pedestrian middle class tastes (and I don't care). I guessed correctly. It was designed by Vera Wang, so definitely not cheap. I do like the upper part of the dress and the crystal belt.

Jackie was famous (or infamous )for being one of the few first ladies with minimal to zero interest in humanitarian concerns. The only other first lady that rivaled Jackie in terms of indifference to the less fortunate was Melania.

Meghan Markle's wedding dress looked like bedsheets seamed together the night prior to the wedding ceremony. And don't get me started on that tacky veil.

She did look great in her reception gown though. But her wedding attire (bar the tiara) - Jesus F*cking Christ, what the hell was she thinking ...

OP & R8 Melania's trousseau was designed by John Galliano when he was still at Dior. She was even on the cover of "Vogue" at the time (which I find funny, given Wintour later refused to have her during her term as First Lady). It looked better on the cover, than it did in action at the wedding. But I agree that it's entirely too much.

R7 It was very much of the time, but I've NEVER liked Princess Diana's wedding gown. And the damned think was wrinkled to hell by the time she finally got to the church.

R77 & R79 They were very different time periods, but I always preferred Jackie Kennedy's Inauguration look to the one she wore at her wedding.

R10 - you'd be surprised at some of the tasteful dresses I see when I stroll around on Saturday here in Romania. This city has a few designers and this year, the dresses are simple with an empire waist or A-line and with a few delicate crystals. Of course, this is an IT city. The tacky ones I see are gypsies or real hillbillies (and this is how I now understand the social class madame "Architect Vairst Laidee" came from...no architect or educated woman out here would make a spectacle of herself in a dress like that which everyone would say was "kitch" and "de un parvenu"). The inauguration gown was fine, but the gilded stuff in her apartment and the other choices of questionable taste wood be pretty derided by most people.

IMO, Carolyn Bessette's dress *was* boring. IIRC, she worked for Calvin Klein and the CK nightgown dresses were a trend for a long time (e.g., Kate Moss). On top of that, I think CB's dress was bias cut, which I hate. But she was marrying JFK Jr. and that was like a fantasy for many. Her minimal makeup worked well for her. She had that ultra-blonde hair that looked natural-ish but I'm sure cost $$$. Not many women could pull off those '90s over-plucked eyebrows, but I think she pulled it off.

OTOH, I liked Chelsea Clinton's dress. The strapless part was maybe boring, but the skirt part was beautiful, like rose petals.

Either of the dresses she wore in Roman Holiday for her Royal engagements, at the beginning and end of the piece, would have been gorgeous on her if slightly adapted for wedding purposes. During the New Look a lot of wedding dresses were mid-calf length. That tightly fitted bodice with the elongated waist is extremely elegant, and makes the most of her slenderness without making her look skinny.

Her own dress was truly awful, as were her hair and makeup. They made her look like Ferrer was marrying his cousin from the country rather than one of the century's most beautiful women.

IIRC, strapless gowns were not permissible for Catholic weddings; shoulders had to be covered but then times changed and suddenly they were everywhere and endured for 20 years. One reason is that, other than constantly having to hoik up the dress, they are more freely comfortable than wearing tight sleeves. (Like I’m sure that Kate Middleton could raise her arms above her head because the designer at McQueen knew how to draft an arm scythe but most gowns are not custom made)

The strapless gown at R199 doesn't look too bad from the front, considering she's a chubby woman, but when you look at her reflection from the side in the mirror, it's not good.

Like a lot of female athletes, Serena’s body is more functional than shapely. And that’s okay. But she should have consulted a wedding stylist. Hell, a regular stylist too because she dresses atrociously 99% of the time.

I think Serena should have had dress that was much less low cut and with straps and perhaps a bolero jacket but I'm sure she would have said that these suggestions are too conservative and suited to someone significantly older than her.

The top part is too clingy. You can see the exact shape and size of each breast.

Oops. These suggestions have already been made. I guess I have Alzheimer's.

Serena should have worn this caftan in white.

Tbf, she would've looked much better in such a caftan than in what she ended up wearing.

Not the worst dress of all time, but the dress is wearing her.
