Valentino is known for its use of exuberant colours, extravagant volume and rich textures, so it might be surprising how simply Peltz’s gown turned out.

“What’s interesting about Nicola is that she tends to edit brands down into their cleanest, simplest versions,” said Fremar.

In the case of the intricate gown that the Italian couture house created for her, Peltz stuck to the silhouette of its toile and opted to exclude the embroidery. The result? A timeless dress in which the bride cut a fine figure.

Adding a regal touch to her look, Peltz pulled on a pair of wedding gloves crafted from French lace. They were matched by a long, cathedral train cut from the same delicate fabric, which was then layered over her gown.

While it may look like Peltz is hopping on the nostalgia-driven trend of wearing wedding gloves, the actress has sported them with her elegant ensembles for parties and weddings in the past. Instead of opting for a total transformation on her special day, the bride boldly stuck with what she knew.

While Peltz oversaw almost every detail of her dress, there was still room for surprises. Her mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, made sure she walked down the aisle with luck on her side through “something blue”: a message that she had Valentino’s seamstresses sew into the skirt of her gown using blue thread. As an added measure, an evil eye was also incorporated.

For all the classicism of her bridal ensemble, Peltz did leave room for one unconventional detail: her shoes. Instead of traditional kitten heels or pointed pumps, the bride chose a pair of trendy Versace Medusa Aevitas platform pumps.

The satin shoes, which have been seen on Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa, feature chunky soles, a square toe, as well as the Italian fashion brand’s Medusa emblem hanging as a charm along its ankle strap.
