What does a Vera Wang bride look like on the brand’s 30th anniversary? Ready to party, for one. Last month, Wang celebrated with a show during New York Fashion Week, and on Friday, she debuted her 60th bridal collection at her Madison Square studio. But forget the flowers and frills. Working in a stark palette of white and black, Wang turned out scissor-sharp shapes and sculptural details for brides with a wild side. “I felt the need for a more modern context of wedding attire,” she said. “It’s about marrying a cool, hyper-hip attitude with a traditional experience.”

Wang’s version of edgy means there are no rough edges. The tiniest of crystals decorated a beige illusion gown that was layered over a shorter tulle slip dress stitched with pearls for added dimension and shimmer. And inky gothic calligraphy spelling out phrases like “I do,” “love,” and “romance” lent a personalized touch to trains and extra-long sleeves—a detail brides can customize with their initials, wedding date, and the like.

Wang zeroed in on silhouette-defining accessories that can be paired back any number of ways. A bubble minidress came with a wisp of a harness crafted from horsehair, and a wide obi belt cinched a simple black T-shirt over a tiered skirt. Miles of leg were revealed through high-low gowns and cutaway coat dresses, trailing behind models like a parachute. All the better to conceal (or not) a pair of silky bloomers. Even perched on Wang’s signature sky-scraping heels, they had a dance ’till dawn mentality.
