From Red Carpet to Altar: Renee Zellweger at the European Leatherheads Premiere
Filed under: Fashion, From Red Carpet to Altar
But the dress is fabulous.
- Classy couture -- This dress is a high fashion piece, and not for the faint of heart. Between the various fabrics and the complicated design, the dress has a lot going on. That's why it's important that Renee wears the dress -- she doesn't let it wear her. Her straight posture and posing skills (although, seriously, why such weird poses? Why?) show that she's comfortable wearing high fashion.
- Perfect plum -- This deep shade is so gorgeous against Renee's fair skin and light hair. It brings out the rosiness in her cheeks and lends some drama to her look overall.
- Glitz it up -- We love Renee's right hand ring and sparkly clutch, but we really wish she had grabbed a pair of earrings, too. Oh, well. She's smart to avoid a necklace, as it would detract from the interesting neckline of her gown and would look busy next to the flower. Her shoes were a perfect choice -- gold, strappy, and sexy, so they compliment the look without competing with the dress.
Wondering how this look can translate into your personal bridal style? Here's how to do it:
- As we said, a high fashion gown needs to be worn -- there's no second-guessing a gown like this. You put it on, and you strut. Don't worry about whether the flowers are too big, or whether it's flattering to your hips -- if you choose a look like this, be ready to rock it or leave it alone.
- Many brides are opting for color in their wedding dresses, but if that's not for you, you might want to at least consider an ivory. It will create a richer look with a gown like this, with so many fabrics and details.
- Take a cue from Renee with the shoes and purse -- go with a bit of bling, but nothing too flashy. We would really like to see a yellow diamond earring with this for some extra interest, or a simple, linear drop diamond earring.
