About the Ralph Lauren Gown
Jennifer can be seen in the photo with smokey eyes, nude lips, and her hair tied up in a neat bun, even though only her veiled face is visible. The actor wore three custom gowns for her wedding celebrations, which were made with “love, care, and consideration woven into every detail of the silhouettes.” “Modern heirlooms for a timeless romance,” Ralph Lauren said on social media.
The fashion house, which also shared details about the dreamy outfits, further wrote: “Drawing inspiration from archival #RalphLauren pieces, #JenniferLopez’s custom handkerchief wedding gown reimagines a turtleneck column dress with the addition of a dramatic ruffle hem.” It added that over “1,000 hand-cut handkerchiefs and 1,640 feet of fabric were cut into ruffles and attached by hand, creating a voluminous, romantic skirt. Each handkerchief becomes a nostalgic keepsake and a modern heirloom, while the intricately constructed ruffled sleeves become a statement in craftsmanship and dignified design.”
“The silhouette reimagines its column shape with a collection of spectacular ruffles at the hem, its sculptural design flowing effortlessly from the delicate turtleneck into a voluminous work of art,” Ralph Lauren added.
Jennifer later changed into a chandelier pearl gown that, according to People, featured micro-pleats of silk tulle, pearl, and Swarovski embellishment and was hand-made by 30 artisans over 700 hours. The third gown had a sleek mermaid silhouette, a removable hood, and an embellished keyhole neckline.
