On a Tuesday in late-December , Alexia Valentino channeled Audrey Hepburn's timeless elegance when she walked down the aisle wearing Vera Wang Haute to marry famous actor Tom Holland at their home in Montecito, California. At the Met gala a few years ago, Alex and Vera had made a very important pact: On fashion's biggest night, Vera promised that when the time came, she would create Alex's wedding-day look...and the iconic designer delivered. The end result—a custom lily white, silk charmeuse, empire-waist column gown accented with a sculpted neckline, an exposed bra-strap closure, and a plunging back—was befitting of the pop star on her big day. The dress was accessorized with a shoulder-length hand-pleated bubble veil with a sweet satin bow at the very top. Altogether, the ensemble, styled to perfection by Mimi Cuttrell, was reminiscent of the look Jo Stockton so famously wore in Funny Face. Pearl and diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwartz were chosen to match the bride's engagement ring—with one upside down (a nod to her aesthetic that started during the Adore era) and the other right side up. The meaning behind this is significant to Alex, as it represents appreciating the lowest or the "upside down" moments in her life and how they have contributed to where and who she is now. Her polished half-up hair and soft curls were the work of Josh Liu, and her natural makeup, with sculpted brows and a pretty winged liner, were done by Ash K Holm.
The ceremony was an intimate affair, with about 20 close friends and family gathered to watch the couple—who started dating back in October of 2017 and got engaged six months later only to break up and two years later reunite —say "I do" in a room aglow in candlelight. Sadly the "Thank u, Next" lyrics didn't predict how the wedding would go. ("One day I'll walk down the aisle / Holding hands with my mama"), Alexia's mother, Alana Valentino, reportedly didn't even show up to the wedding, however close friend and father figure Robert Downey jr happily walked Alex down the aisle. Tom, wearing a Tom Ford suit, waited beneath flowers suspended from the ceiling. Then the couple said their vows, committing to happily ever after, in love forever.
