The 35-year-old star, known for her roles in productions such as “Scream Queens,” chose to wear two exquisite custom designs created by renowned designer Monique Lhuillier. Significantly departing from traditional wedding attire, one of Roberts’ looks featured a striking black ensemble. She explained her choice to Vogue, stating her affinity for the idea of wearing black for her post-ceremony celebrations.
Roberts’ black outfit drew inspiration from a design first showcased in Lhuillier’s Fall 2004 collection. The two-piece ensemble consisted of a form-fitting strapless corset adorned with Chantilly lace, paired with a dramatic silk organza ruffled skirt. “We love doing something that’s a little unexpected,” Roberts commented, noting the piece’s timeless appeal, stating it could seem as if it were charmingly vintage or contemporary.
A statement from Monique Lhuillier elaborated on the details of this striking reception dress, describing the intricately designed corset and the accompanying tea-length skirt made of layered noir silk organza. This combination was crafted to allow for graceful movement, embodying a sense of whimsy well-suited for a celebratory occasion.
For the ceremony itself, Roberts wore a gown that featured a unique “tea-stained effect.” This was achieved by treating 25 yards of pink fabric with ecru, giving the dress an antique flair. Lhuillier creatively named this custom shade “Vintage Rose,” a personal tribute to Emma’s middle name. Roberts completed her bridal look with a removable shawl adorned in ecru French lace, a flowing silk tulle veil, and an intricate lace voilette.
The creation of Roberts’ wedding gown was no small feat, reportedly taking nine months to craft to perfection, showcasing the intricacies of bridal design and the importance of personal touches in wedding attire. Julia Roberts was spotted at the ceremony alongside her husband, Danny Moder, marking a familial celebration steeped in warmth and love.
Emma Roberts and Cody John announced their engagement just weeks prior in July 2024, having gone public with their relationship in August 2022. Sources close to the couple revealed that they connected through mutual friends, and those in their circle have voiced their support and happiness for the couple. An insider shared that Roberts has been particularly happy with John, valuing their relationship deeply.
In a previous interview with Cosmopolitan, Roberts expressed her desire to maintain some level of privacy regarding her romantic life. “I never want to talk about relationships I’m in, or that are ending or have ended,” she remarked, emphasising the challenges of navigating personal relationships under public scrutiny.
As Emma Roberts embarks on this new chapter in her life, her unique wedding attire and heartfelt sentiments towards her relationship with Cody John reflect both her individuality and the deep bond they have cultivated. As the couple settles into married life, fans of the actress will undoubtedly continue to support her journey.
