The bride wore white — with an unexpected twist. For her Aug. 23 nuptials to Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie chose an ivory Atelier Versace gown and extended train, both embroidered with dozens of colorful doodles by her six children. The
silk-satin creation was designed by Donatella Versace, with detailing done by Luigi Massi, master tailor at the Italian house’s couture branch; it embodies the megastar’s simple, sophisticated aesthetic in its clean lines, corseted bodice and full A-line skirt.
“Luigi is like family to me and I couldn’t imagine anyone else making this dress,” Jolie told People magazine. “He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together.”
This isn’t the first time the 39-year-old actress has turned to Atelier Versace for stunning sartorial statements. Jolie wore several custom designs during her “Maleficent” press tour last spring, including an innovative rubberized gown at the film’s world premiere in Hollywood.
For the wedding bands, the couple tapped Beverly Hills jeweler Robert Procop, who conceived the 16-carat diamond engagement ring Pitt used to propose to Jolie in 2012.
