"You're not going out unless your body looks great, believe me," affirmed designer Vera Wang, who designed this dress, left, to dance following the wedding dinner. Vera Wang silk tulle Grecian dress. Vivid Collection bracelet. Right: Dior Haute Couture white satin hand-beaded and embroidered wedding dress. Fred Leighton necklace.

Preparations for the grand nuptials began last May. Tomas Maier pumpkin cutout one-piece bathing suit. Pratesi robe.

(For Trump, that is.) "Obviously, they're in love," says Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka. "I think they're going to be together forever." Y-3 cream sweatshirt. Michael Michael Kors ribbed tank. Adidas jogging shorts. Right: Loro Piano shirt. Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière navy trousers with gold piping and buttons.

Something Borrowed
Millions of dollars of jewelry, of course—guards included. Melania jokes that her theme was white, gold…and "jewelry" (translation: diamonds). She settled on Fred Leighton rocks, but here she peruses some options from Harry Winston, Chopard, Vivid, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, and Bulgari. J. Mendel fuschia silk dress.

don't like it at all

 

[Oria]

I would've preferred Hillary Swank, although I have no idea who Knauss is or was- I'm sure she's smart, but since when has Vogue become Modern Bride? I'm sorry not trying to be mean, but can we please get a "fashion" mag?

@ the cover- it's too busy, and yes the veil is distracting. I wish her well, sure she's intelligent lady, but exactly why is "she" on the cover? I don't get it, again I ask can we get a "fashion" magazine? Trump is boring, and so stiff, I can't possibly think what is so important about his what 3rd wedding? No offense of course but who cares?? Sorry I'm being mean now.

imo:

melania is lucky to be the chosen one of the don

imagine the 13 carat D flawless emerald cut Graff diamond ring

imagine getting a $100K wedding gown that may NOT look like it should be worth 100K

Don- if you are in financial trouble, i HOPE that ring, the gown, the wedding party are all paid for

melania, dont just be known as mrs. donald trump.. altho im sure you dont really mind.. geez girl keep your identity!! do you realllly wanna just be known as mrs. trump #3?

anyway wish them luck and donald had better also pull a good prenup! (joke)

much love on yer wedding day then!

You guys wanted a model on the cover.... well SHE IS A MODEL!

There really is no pleasing some of you.

Its a really bad picture and I don't know why they covered her face to the point where she isn't recognizable... maybe she had a pimple

Adobe Photoshop works just fine!

 

[Mr-Dale]

Am I the only one who likes the dress here or what?

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Hum...I just realized that her dress is a bit different from the runway version...I liked the runway version better. It looks fuller and more dramatic on the runway. They should've shot her in the original makeup..I am soo disappointed.

she looks weird in the photos because I'm not used to seeing her smile. But I'm pretty sure Donald Trump knows how to spot a golddigger. He's been around the game for a long time. And I think it's kind of endearing how she didn't want him to change his hair because she likes him the way he is.

Am I the only one who likes the dress here or what?

i like the dress i just have larger reservations....

 

[NOE]

I think the dress is purty!

So much for surprising everyone when you come down the aisle.

 

[Fashion Puss]

Is the girl blind? She looks like a cheap meringue.

 

[brian]

i knew she'd pick dior. how could she not?
the dress is absolutely STUNNING.

 

[POTC_ROXS]

not my taste

 

[morgan38]

maybe she would look better without that ugly veil and cheesy grin

 

[AlexN]

Quite beautiful...

 

[Fashion Puss]

Well, I'm not surpirsed that she can't stop smiling. She is going to be set up for life. When they divorce, which they inevitabley will, the payoff will be HUGE. Then she can sell her stories to the tabloids (the usual "My cocaine / eating disorder / child abuse hell" Whatever happens now, she is set up. I bet she can't wipe that cheesy grin off her face.

 

[saturnine]

That is just so wrong!
