Breaking Dawn Wedding Dress Is Timeless, Says Herrera


Fans can have their very own Twilight: Breaking Dawn wedding, by snapping up one of the exclusive dresses by designer Carolina Herrera. The gowns, worn in the latest movie by Kristen Stewart, are set to hit Herrera boutiques in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas next year.

Speaking to UK Vogue about the demure floor-length creation, Herrera said, "I was of course inspired by Stephenie's (Meyer) description of the gown in the book, but I added the touch of Herrera and also took into consideration the personality and the style of the bride". Stewart's character Bella marries her long-time vampire beau Edward Cullen in the latest instalment of the franchise, which grossed a remarkable $140 million during its opening weekend. The acclaimed designer explained how the dress closely mirrored Bella's style, saying, "Bella's dress is romantic and filled with a timeless sophistication, very similar to the character. In a way, this dress served as a symbol of the character's coming of age and introduction into womanhood". Although most Twilight fans may not be able to afford one of Carolina's replicas - a rival New York designer is offering the Twilight design for those on a tighter budget.

Having worked closely with film studio Summit Entertainment, designer Alfred Angelo is selling replica Bella gowns for just $799. His version also comes in a variety of colours and is available for Twilight fans to snap up immediately.
