Zac Posen x White One Fall 2020 Bridal

Zac Posen’s claim to fame is dressing women for whom the aisle is interchangeable with the red carpet—a clientele that includes Hollywood and real-life royalty alike. Just last fall, he designed the blush-pink gown that Princess Eugenie wore to her wedding reception, which as fate would have it, was inspired by Grace Kelly’s wardrobe in To Catch a Thief. With Posen’s latest endeavor, a collaboration with Barcelona-based label White One, brides everywhere can feel like red-carpet royalty on their big day. As Posen said: “For most women, it’s really the one occasion they are able to have that dress-up moment and fill that fantasy of fashion.”

The collection delivered maximum glamour at a more modest price point. Several dresses were riffs on Posen’s Met Gala greatest hits, the results of which were not only wearable but desirable because they never felt too on-the-nose. The “Katie,” as in Holmes, was a fit-and-flare mermaid style with Posen’s anatomical seams, ensuring brides will look camera-ready from all angles.

Others paid tribute to Posen’s personal muses and famous friends. The “Dita,” like Von Teese, was a strapless jacquard stunner that exuded Old Hollywood; the removable cape will be a convincing bonus for brides looking to cut loose on the dance floor. The “Coco,” no doubt modeled after Rocha, the supermodel for whom Posen also created her dream custom wedding dress, was a ballgown with a frothy taffeta skirt and a deconstructed exposed corset that dipped down at the back. “It’s the ultimate princess moment,” Posen said.

For those looking for the real thing, a gown spun from light-as-air plissé referenced Princess Eugenie’s own second dress. Except this version came spliced with a plunging illusion neckline and sheer sleeves. The effect was elegant yet sexy—just the kind of special, big-night-out style that a celebrity, or any woman, would love to own.
