Back in November 2011, fans of Twilight finally got to witness one of the saga's most anticipated moments: Bella Swan’s wedding. But more than the vows or the venue, what truly captivated millions was the dress. As if it were a real royal wedding, Bella’s gown was shrouded in mystery. Whispers swirled for months—who was designing it? What would it look like?

The designer was eventually revealed: none other than Carolina Herrera. Known for her timeless elegance, Herrera created a gown exclusively for the film, tailored to fit Kristen Stewart to perfection. It was a bespoke piece that blended subtlety with sophistication.

At first glance, Bella’s bridal look may seem understated—but its impact was anything but. Once Breaking Dawn – Part 1 hit theaters, the sleek silhouette, crafted from delicate French lace and crepe satin, sparked a wedding fashion frenzy. With an estimated price tag of $35,000, the gown quickly became a global bridal obsession—along with the iconic Manolo Blahnik heels she wore down the aisle.

Herrera took inspiration from early 1900s fashion, echoing the era when Edward Cullen was still human. The dress, with its vintage charm and graceful detailing, bridged past and present—immortalizing Bella’s transformation not just into a vampire, but a timeless bride.

Due to overwhelming demand, Carolina Herrera later included the design in her bridal collection. Even budget-friendly replicas, like those from UK brand Alfred Angelo (priced around $700), flew off the shelves. It was more than a costume—it became a wedding dream for brides around the world.
