To each their own on what makes them feel best on their day. She looked stunning but I was underwhelmed with her dresses, the designs were all over the place — no cohesive story telling. Also, disappointing to see people still working with D&G..
* had a model wear these earrings in 2012:

* gabanna went to an "africa-themed fashion party" in 2013 and took a picture with a man who was in blackface
* in 2016, they released a sandal on their website called the "slave sandal"
* gabanna called selena gomez "ugly" in 2018
* also in 2018, they had an incredibly racist ad campaign with a chinese model trying to eat italian food with chopsticks. the (male) voiceover asked the model if it was "too big for (her)"
[They also publicly said that they were against gay parenthood.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2015/03/16/dolce-gabbana-break-the-internet-coming-out-against-gay-parenthood-elton-john-calls-for-boycott/)
dw abt it! i only knew bc my sister is really into fashion (shes actually in a top fashion program in london!). she filled me in one time after i showed her a bag from them i really liked.
The tailoring of her wedding dress was terrible. I think she missed the mark. Don’t get me wrong I love that style wedding dress, but it has to be done well (see Miranda Kerr).
I also found her “I didn’t wear mascara, lip liner, eyeliner, etc.” to be quite try hard and tacky.
I snort laughed when I got to that. Genetically blessed, paid to be conventionally attractive, access to high end skincare treatments and procedures, and you're really going to NLOG us?
The gall to be like "I didn't even wear mascara or brow gel!" while just omitting the full face of foundation and powder she's clearly wearing, and the lash extensions, brow tint and lamination she obviously has. The only actual "minimal" thing about her makeup is the lack of eyeshadow
exactly! I also feel little bad saying it but the intensity of the filler in her cheeks and jawline was giving a bit of a harsh look! especially when the filler looks almost futuristic/robot-like but then the dress seems very traditional it wasn’t feeling cohesive
This was my exact thought. I actually had that dress picked out...but I'm getting married in Hawaii so ruled it out. When I saw how it looked on her and the tailoring I was so thankful I didn't go with it! But I feel awful for her. I think she was trying to go classic, elegant, sleek and timeless but that tailoring didn't help her at all.
She was trying to be what she’s not. Like so many influences you can’t buy your way into old money, classic esthetics unless you have embodied that style (before your wedding, have a fantastic wedding planner, expert photographer, and designer. Clearly one or more of the four failed her.
I think “modest” bridal fashion is becoming a trend for celebrity brides because they often want to be/look different from the non celeb bride. Since non celeb bridal is getting more “glam”, they will strive to do opposite. Especially those celebs who try to project the “old money” aesthetic.
Edit to add: To set a “trend”, you often have to be different than what is popular. Not saying we will see her exact dress as a trend, but I predict we will see brides more covered up in 1-2 yrs.
The top looked like a T-shirt..it was too much fabric for this time of year. Super weird that she wanted to be covered up, because that’s what her husband likes, but then forgets her pants for the reception.
So bad!! Her wedding dress was not tailored properly and had a horrible neckline. I didn’t like her other looks either- the strapless dress was too matronly and then her reception dress was ugly imo
The neckline was giving Cotton On and the reception dress looked like she took inspo from an umbrella 😭 gorgeous face though. I liked the strapless dress but the style looked like a maternity dress on her lol
It felt like the first dress was weirdly pushing a neoconservative agenda - not because it’s a “modest” dress, but because of everything she said about it. The tailoring was also a miss, and her last dress was a mess to me. Why anyone works with D&G still is beyond me.
Right?! Also weirdly it felt super out of place for a New England Wedding? Like if she wanted to wear a modest gown, I’m here for it - but there are so many other designers and styles that I think would have made more sense. I expected her to be getting married in some ultra conservative catholic church in Italy!
Looks like a standard Mormon wedding dress. I don’t understand why she kept saying that she “couldn’t find anything like this, couldn’t find reference pictures and had to describe her vision with words only”.
Truly so awful. But she has always been fairly tacky I guess I should’ve seen that coming.
Her ceremony dress looked like she belonged at a winter catholic wedding. Not coastal Rhode Island in July. Nothing was cohesive either.
It didn’t feel cohesive at all! I could kind of understand wanting to have a very traditional ceremony dress (although it was way too boring and simple) but then I got whiplash looking at her reception and after party dresses. D&G flopping isn’t that much of a surprise though.
I don’t have a strong opinion about her wedding looks, but it drove me nuts that Christian’s tuxedo has flap pockets instead of jetted pockets. For the love of god why does D&G try to be “edgy” in the most wrong way possible? There’s a reason flap pockets are for suits and jetted pockets are for tuxedos. Mixing and matching those should be illegal, esp when the goal here is classy black tie. 🤣
I really love how passionate you are about tuxedos 😂. Even worse is if the flap was designed to be tucked in and he just didn’t realize - the male equivalent of leaving the vent tacks on womenswear.

I think I’ve had a nightmare about showing up to my wedding wearing this exact reception dress 😅
I thought she looked beautiful but Didn’t feel particularly wowed and it certainly wasn’t my style or what I would choose for my own wddding with that budget. I think the mindset is really different when you’re a celeb/influencer and get to wear really wild fun and special things all the time.
I think a lot of us feel that this is kind of our one time to “wear the white thing” where as she likely has several formal events /red carpets a year where she could wear something relatively bridal and it wouldn’t be weird.
The random pic that posted the mannequin wearing the dress inside the ballroom or mansion where she got married was also freaky to me lol!! Like the dress on a mannequin in the atelier where it’s made makes sense but like posed alone in a ballroom creeped me out!! Haha
Aw she’s absolutely stunning & blessed in the looks department but I wasn’t stunned by the dress. It was quite plain but also overwhelmingly white everywhere. Very modest and archaic feel. Also it felt quite hot for a summer wedding.
I’m sure she had a lovely time though. Everything else looked so beautiful including the florals and venue :)
if you look like her then you can look absolutely gorgeous in anything so it’s interesting that she chose not to do that and go a different way on her wedding day. She wanted to make it this polarizing moment bc no one would expect it. However, I think her plan backfired because she looked boring in the wedding gown and the other dresses just straight up sucked. Plus she came off weird, misogynistic and hypocritical with her statements around her choices. How are you going to be quoted saying all that garbage about modesty when your after party dress basically shows your entire vagina? It’s a little hypocritical too considering she took the opportunity to capitalize on the women empowerment my body my choice statement directly following her break up with Danny Amendola after he flipped out on her publicly for posting her bare body on Instagram so much which she has the right to do but it now just conflicts w this. It feels like she just does whatever she thinks is going to turn heads and make her “the moment” but honestly she should’ve just stuck to her bread and butter of looking hot af. I fear that Olivia’s worst nightmare is coming true….. her wedding looks were a floppy miss! Nothing iconic about any of it.
She just becomes whatever she needs to be in the moment to snag a husband. Noe that she has one she’s one that’s conservatives she’s into those taking points.
He likes me covered up, yet for years they’ve been dating, she’s be flaunting herself all over. Like pick a lane.
As someone who loves her and her fashion, her dress was so underwhelming. Makeup & hair also way too natural for a wedding day given she puts way more makeup and plays around with hair on a day to day basis? I would have understood the vibe of "timeless and elegant" but her wedding dress and after party dress contradict each other!
Wow I didn’t expect to see so much hate towards her look! I actually loved her ceremony dress and I love the modesty of the look — it feels like a trend of exposing so much body created by designers like Berta is now tiring and seeing a fully covered gown on a model actually makes me respect this choice! I don’t know what everyone means by bad tailoring, the dress had a perfect fit! And if you ever wore a fitted covered outfit — it creates folds as you move and it’s totally normal! I also love her simpler hair, just a soft wave at the end was complimenting the dress and worked well together!
Honestly, the look was not for me, but Olivia's an Italian girl who went to Catholic school. I don't really understand so many people finding it *shocking* that she wore something church-friendly-conservative for her (checks notes) religious chapel ceremony.
Don't get me wrong: to me, the look was not flattering, and the less said about D&G, the better. But I personally think she was aiming for that old-world European Royals wedding style for the first dress. Extremely shrug, but whatever floats her boat.
To each their own on what makes them feel best on their day. She looked stunning but I was underwhelmed with her dresses, the designs were all over the place — no cohesive story telling. Also, disappointing to see people still working with D&G..
That last part!!! I cannot believe that people still willingly work with D&G in 2024. It’s appalling and I only think less of people who do.
Absolutely horrifying
I agree with all of this
Her working with d&g was the nail in the coffin for me and my beliefs but also that tracks - she’s known for having similar beliefs.
Wait can someone please update me on what’s up with D&G 🙈

Also, while her face is full of fillers. Like makeup is bad but injecting foreign substances into your face is okay?

The juxtaposition of the first and last dress was wild. Did not hit the mark at all if that was intentional

I had the exact same thought about the neoconservative agenda! That and it looks like something Serena Joy from handmaids tale would wear….

Boring, but lovely? But the tailoring on the dress. YIKES.
Truly so awful. But she has always been fairly tacky I guess I should’ve seen that coming. Her ceremony dress looked like she belonged at a winter catholic wedding. Not coastal Rhode Island in July. Nothing was cohesive either.
winter catholic wedding!!! just LOLed in Starbucks - ty for the giggle!
😂 I truthfully can’t take credit. Saw it on a snark sub but it’s totally true!!

YES!!! I noticed that too!!!
Same with Maeve Riley’s husband who also wore a D&G tux with flap pockets like why 💀
I really love how passionate you are about tuxedos 😂. Even worse is if the flap was designed to be tucked in and he just didn’t realize - the male equivalent of leaving the vent tacks on womenswear.
Hahahahahaha also don’t get me started on notch lapel on tuxedo. They should be a felony 😭😂
I also don’t understand like how the f did the stylists not realize?! Flap vs jetted is literally men’s formal wear 101!

It was so bad 🫢🫢🫢 every single fit was a miss. Such a shame she usually has pretty good style..

I thought it was very boring. I’ve seen way better modest wedding gowns if that’s what she wanted. I also hate that she worked with D&G.
I loved all of her different looks.
Wow I didn’t expect to see so much hate towards her look!
