Angelina Jolie's Incredibly Personal Wedding Dress

Well, that didn't take long. Just a week after news broke of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's wedding (the couple finally, officially tied the knot at their French estate in Correns), People and Hello!, in a joint world exclusive, are publishing photos of the intimate 20-person ceremony and celebration. (Taking into account Jolie and Pitt's dedication to philanthropy, we have no doubt the money they received from selling these photos will go to a worthy cause.)


First thing's first: Angie's dress. The gorgeous ivory silk gown was designed by Luigi Massi, the master tailor at Atelier Versace. (Jolie is a long-time fan of the designer, having worn many a Versace gown on the red carpet.) At first glance the gown looks simple—as you might expect, given Jolie's taste for unfussy, sleek silhouettes: a ruched bodice with a full A-line skirt. But! There's a twist! The train of Jolie's gown as well as her veil were covered with her children's artwork. According to People, Massi sewed in dozens of playful, colorful designs done by Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Vivienne, Shiloh and Knox. "Luigi is like family to me and I couldn't imagine anyone else making this dress," Jolie told People. "He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together."

Playing it a bit more low-key, Pitt wore one of his own suits, and reportedly had to borrow a tie from one of his sons because he forgot his own.


As for the ceremony? It sounds incredibly personal and family-focused, which is fitting, given that Jolie told ELLE earlier this summer, "I tell you, the kids are so excited about the wedding...they like the idea of Mommy and Daddy getting married.” Jolie added that the wedding would be an "unusual situation" with "all eight of us getting married." And so it was. According to People the children helped their parents write their vows. Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10, walked mom down the aisle; Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, served as flower girls (they threw petals from the garden); Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, were the ring bearers; and Pax baked the cake. It all sounds pretty perfect, doesn't it?

  2. That's a 360 degree turn from Brad's previous marriage with Jen. As years go by, I am more and more awed by Angelina Jolie. - brangelina

  3. Hurray to the Jolie-Pitt family. I really love Angie. She may be a bad girl before but she has metamorphosed into an empowered woman, philanthropist, great mother and a good soul. She is beautiful inside and out. Sge is quite an inspiration to all of us.

  5. The dress is unusual, pero ganun naman kasi ang preference niya, na involved ang kids sa lahat. Gandang concept, pero ok din kung white yung drawing ng mga bata, para mukhang lace, imo

  9. The front of the gown is just fine but the back is awesome and unique. I haven't seen one like that. I'm so happy for brad and Angelina. I didn't like how they started but I like how they're trying to make things right not just for them but for their kids as well.

    3. so you're point is, they let their children believed the wedding is nothing but a mere public show?? fyi, whatever they do, they can still lure the public even without putting any gimmick so deal with it!!!

    4. sila pinakasikat na couple sa hollywood teh di mo ba alam yun? publicity publity ka pa jan eh ilang beses na nga silang pumunta sa ibang bansa para di sila makilala eh. bitter much

    5. Magresearch din sa net pag may time. Their wedding is very much legal because they had someone (a judge or priest i think) fly all the way from California to do the wedding. So all the paperwork is under Californian law, not France.

  13. publicity? 20 lang ang guest at private wedding, PUBLICITY? mas publicity ung mga cheapanggang artista sa pinas na ultimo engagement pinagkakakitaan at weddings na parang circus ala KARDASHIAN. just so u know, the earnings from these pics (JUST LIKE THE MILLIONS THEY GOT for the pics of SHILOH,VIV & KNOX na 100% DONATED TO CHARITY) eh will be donated also.

  14. Kaya sila pumayag na ipublicize ang kasal, para mai-donate ang pera na ibabayad sa mga pictures nila.

  15. The dress is unusual, but so personal. lol even if it's not my own gown, I got a little sentimental when I saw the last picture... it has everything that she holds dear.

  21. "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."

    --Angelina Jolie

    Used to like her before she hooked up with Brad.
