Let's talk about Celebrity Wedding Dress Trends! The first iconic dress “appeared” in 1927 on Norma Shearer's body. The "first lady of MGM" married producer Irving Thalberg in a ceremony of just 50 guests, wearing a sleeveless model, with velvet details and a skirt in layers of chiffon. The look was completed with accessories such as pearls and a flowered tiara.
In 1937 we have the second iconic dress, worn by Wallis Warfield. The American socialite married King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, wearing one of the most photographed models of all time, known as Wallis Blue, as the color matched Wallis' blue eyes.
The minimalist design, by couturier Main Rousseau Bocher (founder of the Mainbocher brand) also had a secret element: a zigzag seam on the back of the neck, symbolizing a scar. The meaning of this symbol remains one of Wallis Warfield and Mainbocher's mysteries.
