We don't know why, but as far as the words 'wedding' and 'lavender' are concerned (when used in the same sentence of course), I get visions of horrific nineties meringue dresses that I'd rather forget. This makes me sound older than my years; I wasn't waling down the aisle marrying my third husband in the nineties hence the terrible memories, but those pesky films and nineties television shows have filled my brain with nineties nightmares.
However, Sofia Coppola is always one to break convention and her wedding dress was no exception. On paper, her dress didn't sound great, but as soon as we saw it, we were shovelling humble pie into our mouths like nobody's business. As a Louis Vuitton girl, we should have known better.
And then of course we have the designer factor - her dress was in fact custom made Azzedine Alaïa - who as Cher Horowitz can confirm, is a "totally important designer"…one day we will be able to say his name without reciting the Clueless script…one day. So, Sofia was indeed the second loveliest vision in lavender we have seen this year - sorry SC, first prize definitely still goes to Mila Kunis in her Elie Saab dress at this year's Oscars.
