For some, a big white dress is the quintessential bridal look. But a growing number of women are rewriting the rules by walking down the aisle in a suit. When Dua Lipa married actor Callum Turner in London last month, her Schiaparelli couture white skirt suit made headlines—but she was hardly the first to reject tradition.
Decades earlier, Bianca Jagger caused a sensation when she wed Mick Jagger in 1971 wearing an Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking jacket and bias-cut skirt. She remained a style icon for unconventional brides ever since.
"A big pouffy dress is not really me," said one bride who chose a sleek jumpsuit for her wedding. "I wanted to feel like myself on the most important day of my life."
These stories celebrate the beauty and individuality of brides who dared to be different, proving that a suit can be just as stunning—and far more personal—than a traditional gown.
