Perhaps not since George and Amal's 2014 wedding extravaganza has Venice seen such an influx of the world's most famous people, in town not to promote a film or attend a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show, but to witness the joyful union of fashion royalty.
On October 16, Alexandre Arnault, the 29-year-old second eldest son of billionaire LVMH chief Bernard Arnault, married Géraldine Guyot, founder of accessories brand D'Estrëe. The grand affair was actually the couple's second ceremony—they had held a more intimate event in Paris in June, for which the bride wore Loewe (below).
Their Venetian celebration drew a number of A-list names: Pharrell Williams, Roger Federer, and Kanye West, who performed at the reception. Also in attendance were Jay-Z and Beyoncé: power couple, musical icons, and the latest stars of Tiffany's internet-breaking campaign, in which he shined in Jean Schlumberger and she sparkled in that legendary Tiffany yellow diamond (in January, Arnault left his post at Rimowa to become the EVP of product and communications at the jewelry brand).
The two-day wedding took place at the Cipriani on Venice's Giudecca Island. Guyot's wedding gown featured a high neck, long-sleeved embroidered bodice and a satin skirt. Their flower girls and page boys wore matching outfits in white and a very autumn-appropriate dark burnt orange hue. In a post-nuptials Instagram photo, Arnault summarized the weekend: "October 16th, 2021 / Filled with love forever 🤍♾💍👰♀️🤵♂️"
