Reflecting on their special day, Sulewski, the founder of CYKLAR Skincare and an actress, spoke to PEOPLE during the WWD Honors gala held on October 27 in New York City. She shared her sentiments about life after their wedding, indicating that they are still enveloped in the joy of their nuptials. “Oh, we’re blissed out,” she expressed. “We’re still experiencing the withdrawals of that being the best day of our lives and it now being behind us. But it’s so good. We’re so happy, and just truly, best day of our lives.”
Sulewski elaborated on the emotions she felt during their wedding, describing it as an experience unlike any other. “New feeling unlocked, that’s what I keep saying. The feelings we felt on that day, I have never felt ever in my life before,” she stated, providing insight into the depth of her joy. The couple announced their engagement in 2025, just a few years after they first met.
The actress wore a stunning array of dresses during their wedding weekend, totalling four elegant looks designed by Oscar de la Renta. According to reports, during her final fitting, she shared the moment with her sister-in-law, Billie Eilish, via FaceTime. Eilish was reportedly taken aback by Sulewski’s bridal gown, exclaiming, “My God, I can’t believe it. You look like an angel. Love you so much!”
While the designer dresses garnered significant attention, Sulewski’s focus has now shifted to the upcoming Halloween festivities. At the WWD Honors gala, she mentioned her enthusiasm for matching costumes with her husband. “We love doing matching costumes,” Sulewski noted, revealing her plans for Halloween. Although she has an unused costume from the previous year, she is excited to creatively blend her look with Finneas’s.
She described her planned costume as having a black and white, “Joker, clown vibe,” while Finneas plans to take on the persona of a king of hearts. “I could be a spades card, I don’t know. It’s going to come together with the makeup. So that kind of matches, and that’s what we’re rocking with this year,” she added, showcasing her playful spirit as they prepare for the holiday.
As the couple settles into married life, they continue to ride the wave of their recent nuptials, fully embracing their love and commitment to each other.
