The Most Gorgeous Celebrity Wedding Dresses Of 2023
David Mccullough For professional gymnast Simone Biles' destination wedding to her longtime beau, NFL player Jonathan Owens, she wore an ethereal ballroom gown with gorgeous floral lace detailing. Walking down the aisle in Mexico on May 6, the Olympic gold medalist was incandescent in a bespoke Galia Lahav dress. The bridal gown featured a corset-style bodysuit with a semi-sheer bodice, boning tapering inward from the bust, and stunning floral lace appliqués that trailed down the skirt and over Biles' shoulders across the straps. The gauzy skirt fell in gentle pleats and featured a thigh-high slit that offered a glimpse at the intricate bodysuit underneath. The billowing skirt gave way to a long train. The dress in its entirety felt like a modern and enchanting take on a classic princess gown.
Of her chosen wedding dress style, Biles told Vogue, "I was nervous about having a ball gown because I'm so petite — but it works perfect. The leg slit was very crucial. It was to add, in my head, more length to my body. I think this is exactly how brides are supposed to feel: luxurious, beautiful, kind of on top of the world."
The Olympian added a variety of understated accessories to her bridal look, ultimately letting her gown be the star of the show. For her wedding jewels and shoes, Biles chose a simple diamond tennis necklace, a few white gold bracelets, diamond stud earrings, a stunning diamond-and-sapphire pear-shaped statement ring, and cream-colored slingback heels.
