Kim Kardashian donned a pastel duplicate of Belly's wedding dress on the TV series 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'.
In the latest episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, which aired on Amazon Prime on July 30, the character Belly (played by Lola Tung) faced a dilemma when deciding on a wedding dress. While the opinions of Belly's friends, Taylor, and Taylor's mom about the dress were not revealed, the dress in question was quite a spectacle.
The dress, marketed as a low-cost design, was a sale rack find featuring a scoop neck, razor-thin straps, a loosely-fitted silhouette, a triangle cutout that plunged down her back, and a delicate train. Kim Kardashian, a notable fan of Belly Conklin's designs, had previously worn a purple version of the same dress at Beckham's Paris Fashion Week show in September 2023.
Meanwhile, the search for Victoria Beckham's wedding dress designs worn by celebrities at their weddings yielded limited results. Although Victoria Beckham is a well-known fashion designer in the bridal space, examples of her actual bridal gowns worn by brides (celebrities) at weddings are less frequently documented.
One interesting tidbit from the search results was the story of Nicola Peltz, who was initially going to wear a Victoria Beckham wedding dress for her marriage to Brooklyn Beckham. However, she ultimately did not wear a Victoria Beckham dress at her 2022 wedding. Instead, Nicola Peltz wore a backless Valentino wedding dress, and later wore a modernized version of her mother Claudia Peltz's 1985 bridal gown for their vow renewal event.
Back to Belly's story, Taylor insisted that Belly should say yes to the dress, stating, "It's you. This is the dress." However, Belly expressed some reservations about the dress, saying it might be too plain and not fancy enough. Despite these concerns, Belly ultimately purchased the design.
To accessorize the simplistic dress, Belly opted for diamond jewelry, including a sparkling choker, a statement pendant, coordinating rings, and a pale pink manicure. Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, wore a full beat at the show, with soft pink eyeshadow, sun-kissed cheeks, filled-in eyebrows, long lashes, and lined, glossy lips.
As Belly walked out of the dressing room to see if the dress looked good on her, one can only imagine the emotions running through her mind. The journey of finding the perfect wedding dress is indeed a rollercoaster ride, as Belly's story beautifully portrays.
Don't forget to catch the next episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty every Wednesday on Amazon Prime Video.
The media buzzed with excitement as the gown Belly wore, originally a sale rack find, gained attention due to its association with Kim Kardashian. This pop-culture moment showcased celebrities' influence on entertainment, as fans eagerly awaited the next episode to see if Belly's dress would become a symbol of modern bridal fashion.
Despite Victoria Beckham's renowned wedding dress designs often gracing celebrity brides, documented examples are scarce in pop-culture media, a contrast to Belly's revealing yet chic dress that generated buzz among fans.
