In an unexpected twist, engaged couple Alexandra Warren and KB White were left speechless during a wedding dress appointment when they were surprised by Hollywood star Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach. This memorable event took place on February 9 at Mark Ingram Atelier in New York City, marking a significant milestone in Warren’s wedding preparations for their upcoming ceremony in 2024.
Warren and White, who work as public interest lawyers and are committed to highlighting social justice causes, had originally answered a casting call in conjunction with the release of A24’s film “The Drama”. They viewed it as a light-hearted opportunity for Warren to begin shopping for her wedding dress. Little did they know, the appointment would turn into a star-studded affair.
As the appointment began, the couple was joined by their bridal consultant, Mckenzie Salvatierra-Custin. It wasn’t long before they were greeted by a familiar face; White spotted Zendaya and Roach as they entered the boutique. “I was shocked,” White recounted, remembering the moment vividly. “I knew Alex would be thrilled since she admires both of their work immensely.”
Warren, who is 30, expressed her excitement in detail. “I felt like I was floating! I wish I had three hours to discuss style with him,” she said about Roach, who dedicated about an hour to help her select her dream gown. As Zendaya joined them towards the end of the appointment, Warren felt an overwhelming sense of joy. “It was unreal,” she recalled, appreciating how both celebrities engaged with her regarding this crucial decision for her wedding day.
The couple had their hearts set on a beautiful gown but were concerned about its steep price tag. Fortunately, Zendaya caught wind of their budget constraints and made a generous offer that left them astonished. “After both Law and Zendaya confirmed they loved the dress I was wearing, Zendaya said, ‘By the way, it’s covered,'” Warren shared, still in disbelief at the spontaneous act of kindness. “We literally gasped!”
White echoed Warren’s sentiment, expressing gratitude for Zendaya’s generosity. “We are very conscious of our wedding planning finances,” he noted, pointing out the practicality that came with their professions. “I cannot wait to see Alex in this dress on our wedding day,” he added, showcasing the deep affection he holds for his fiancée.
The entire experience felt surreal for Warren, who has always cherished fashion and the idea of looking stunning during significant life events. “To have such an important garment not only signed off on by a stylist I’ve admired forever but paid for by an artist I admire felt like a dream come true,” she emphasised, expressing her desire to wear the dress every day of her life.
During their appointment, Zendaya also shared personal insights about marriage, drawn from her experience filming “The Drama,” which revolves around a couple navigating dramatic wedding planning encounters. “She told us to stay calm and work together to plan the best event,” Warren recounted, grateful for the advice that came along with Zendaya’s generous gift.
As both lawyers shared their journey from co-workers to partners, they reminisced about how their relationship blossomed over time. Warren initially summoned up the courage to ask White out after noticing the spark between them. Reflecting on their love story, White stated, “We were co-workers to friends to lovers.”
Their engagement was equally sweet and personal, with the couple designing each other’s rings. “We weren’t sure how to propose since we often engage in small romantic gestures, but one morning after moving into our first apartment together, we made tea and exchanged rings on our couch,” White explained, with Warren adding that it was simple yet filled with love.
The couple plans to marry in an intimate courthouse ceremony later this year in New York City, followed by a larger celebration for friends and family. They openly invite wedding vendors who are interested in assisting a queer couple to reach out in hopes of creating a magical day reflective of their unique love.
As their story unfolds, excitement continues to build around the release of “The Drama,” which is set to hit cinemas on April 3. The heartfelt moments shared between Warren, White, and their unexpected celebrity guests will undoubtedly remain a cherished memory for years to come as they embark on this beautiful new chapter of their lives.
