From minimal to glamorous, there are plenty of ways to work a timeless high-neck bridal dress on your wedding day
Jennifer Lopez may have broken the Internet for wearing a sultry Versace dress that cemented her status as a sex symbol in the 2000s, but on her wedding last weekend, she went for a look that was less risqué than regal.
When exchanging vows with actor Ben Affleck during a ceremony in Georgia, Lopez was the picture of sophistication in a turtleneck column gown with cap sleeves and a ruffled skirt custom made by her go-to designer, Ralph Lauren. The American fashion designer even created two other wedding gowns for Lopez, and outfitted both her and Affleck’s children. But it’s that first dress that truly stole the show; its high neckline perfectly framed the bride’s face and called for a low-key jewellery detail, which Lopez found in a pair of pearl and diamond earrings by Mikimoto.

Lopez’s look was unforgettable, not least because of her conservative choice of neckline at a time when brides are opting for corset bodices and shorter hemlines. But the appeal of a high-neck wedding dress goes beyond the modesty it offers: a dress like J.Lo’s looks timeless and even royal, and if you choose a halterneck style like Meghan Markle did for her wedding reception, your bridal ensemble will be undeniably modern and chic.
