Sofia Coppola is definitely one of my heros. She is so multi-talented, having directed award-winning movies like Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette and Somewhere. She has also successfully designed the most beautiful range of bags for Louis Vuitton and is a mum and now a wife. This past weekend she married Thomas Mars. He is one of my friend Janet's heros as a member of the French band, Phoenix. I confess I have never heard of them, but Janet has excellent taste in music so I bow to her superior knowledge. And to the new married couple.

So let's get down to business. What did Sofia wear to her wedding? It was a little bit of a surprise. Obviously Marc Jacobs' name was in the mix for some time. But early last month we started hearing mutterings about legendary Tunisian couturier Azzedine Alaia doing the dress. And so it was. A beautiful, frothy, textured, lilac Alaia was the dress of the day. Suitably low-key for this couple who live with their two young daughters under the radar mostly. They married in Sofia's great-grandfather's Italian home town of Bernalda where her dad, Francis Ford Coppola has renovated a palazzo. Romantic. Intimate. And a beautiful bride in a beautiful dress. Exactly right. What do you guys think about the dress? You like?
