Emma Watson looked beautiful as walked down the red carpet last night at the world premiere of the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part Two, in London’s Trafalgar Square.
The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the wizard series, wore an Oscar de la Renta dress with grey bodice and a tiered tulle skirt – very much resembling a wedding dress if you ask us…
With this in mind we found some bridal gowns that look very similar to that one Emma wore, there’s even an Oscar de la Renta in there if you want to get as close to the real thing!

Prince Albert II of Monaco finally got his Princess last weekend when he married South African and former Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock. Despite rumours that the bride had tried to flee the country several times amid stories of the groom fathering a third love child out of wedlock – and not with the bride-to-be! – the couple wed in a ceremony in Monaco in front of a star studded congregation, which included many of the European Royals as well as well-known designers.
With this kiss I thee wed...

With all the stories floating around, something tells us this is not a fairy-tale wedding where the Prince and his Princess will live happily ever after… Let’s hope they had a great party though!

British supermodel Kate Moss wed rocker fiancé (now husband) Jamie Hince on Friday 1 July in a small country church in Southrop, Cotswolds. The bride was accompanied by no less than 15 bridesmaids, including her eight year old daughter Lila Grace, who were all dressed in ivory. As previously reported, Kate wore a wedding dress designed by her close friend John Galliano. The ivory dress was covered in rhinestones – giving a nod to the roaring twenties and fitting perfectly with her engagement ring. Kate also wore a veil to cover her blonde locks.

The groom was dressed in a light blue suit that fit the colour scheme perfectly and arrived to the ceremony with his ‘best man’, bandmate Alison Mosshart. Being the rocker he is, Jamie wore sunglasses for the wedding photos after the ceremony.
Following the nuptials, the couple held a three-day reception – or a ‘wedding festival’ – at the fashion queen’s nearby home where the many celeb guests, including Sadie Frost, Jade Jagger and Naomi Campbell, could enjoy a party to almost end parties. The shindig is said to have cost £500,000 and was held in six different marquees that were individually themed.
During the reception the bride and groom also had their marriage blessed by monks, in an intimate spiritual blessing ceremony as a good luck charm for their days as husband and wife.
The newlyweds are said to be honeymooning in the Mediterranean.

James Bond actor Daniel Craig and fellow actress Rachel Weisz secretly wed in New York last Wednesday.
The low-key couple – we didn’t even know they were dating – first went public with their romance in December when they spent Christmas together in the English countryside. Present at the secret mission wedding at a friend’s house in the state of New York were just four people, Daniel’s daughter Ella (18), Rachel’s four-year-old son Henry and two friends.
A source told the News of the World: “Daniel and Rachel insisted on having a small, quiet wedding. They are madly in love and couldn’t wait to be husband and wife – but they wanted minimum fuss. They had a couple of friends as witnesses and their children from previous relationships and that was it.”
That is true love. No need for a big hoo-ha, just the two individuals madly in love with each other and those closest to them. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Craig!

Gay marriage was made legal in the US state of New York on Friday 24 June 2011, and Neil Patrick Harris – known from TV shows like Doogie Howser M.D and ladies’ man Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother – celebrated the passing of the new bill by announcing his engagement to partner David Burtka.
Neil tweeted: “”It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!”
“David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago. We’ve been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date. (sic)”
Harris and Burtka have been in a relationship since 2004 and became parents of fraternal twins, Harper Grace and Gideon Scott, in October 2010 via a surrogate mother.
The couple can now – along with many other – finally set a date to become Mr and Mr. Or Mrs and Mrs!

We're not really sure about what Kate's pal Jamie Winstone is wearing...Photo: AP Photo/Joel Ryan
Uh oh, every bride-to-be’s worst nightmare (almost) came true for Kate Moss.
As Kate was partying her last weekend as Miss away at Glastonbury this weekend – fiancé Jamie Hince performed with his band The Kills at the world-famous festival – the supermodel apparently lost her shiny rock in the mud. Once she realised that her 1920’s inspired engagement ring was gone, Kate was said to be hyperventilating. Err so would we!!
According to an insider “everyone was looking for the ring, with Kate practically hyperventilating at the side of the stage. She was screeching at her mates, begging them to get down on their hands and knees and trawl through the mud for the sparkler.”
How the story ended? Kate, much to her amusement, eventually found the ring stuck in the bottom of her handbag…
Kate is set to tie the knot with Jamie this coming Friday, July 2, and is said to be planning “festival-style” nuptials. One word of advice Kate, ensure there is no mud as pretty dresses and tuxedos don’t go well with mud.

The pop star – who is three months pregnant – and her new husband Sam Cooper have enjoyed a visit to Paris where they have been shopping and dining out before they are heading to the muddy fields of Glastonbury in Somerset, South West England, for the second leg of their honeymoon.
Enjoying some much needed time to relax after the stress of organising the wedding, Lily did admit via Twitter that Paris wasn’t top on her list of post-wedding holiday destinations: “Paris was not my1st choice, but I’ve been advised not to fly by doctors, and it’s about as exotic as one can get without doing so.”
Lily and Sam are due to arrive at Glastonbury over the next couple of days for a weekend of music and festival life, glamping style – the couple have spent £8,000 on a VIP yurt tent backstage at the festival. As the first images from Glastonbury have emerged, we hope Lily and Sam have remembered to pack their wellies as it looks to be a muddy experience.
What is a yurt tent?
Yurt tents are silk lined, romantic and the most luxurious and chilled out way to enjoy a festival. They come with a double bed covered with Egyptian cotton sheets, a champagne fridge, sheep-skin rugs and chandeliers. The guests even get slippers!

Kate and William as we know wished for charity donations instead of wedding presents – they probably have enough cheese graters at the Palace already – and ended up with just over £1 million which will be spread across 26 charities. TV reality star Kim Kardashian on the other hand obviously thinks she should get some pretty sparkly things when she gets married to fiancé Kris and has set up an expensive gift list at luxury store Geary.
And what about Kate Moss? The supermodel – famed for her hard partying ways – sent guests her and fiancé Jamie Hince’s gift list this week, which includes items like 14 ashtrays which cost £240 each and crates of 2002 Louis Roederer Cristal champagne at £1,833 per pop.
Not sure why Kate would need 14 ashtrays, but guess she’s trying to accessorise every room of her house so that she never needs to look for one ever again. Kate is known for her love of smoking after all, and is rumoured to once have had her PA leave 100 cigarettes nearby at all times. The catwalk queen also likes to keep her fridge stocked with at least two bottle of champagne and two bottles of vodka in case she has unexpected guests. We’re not even going to argue there Kate, having some fizz on the chill at all times is just the way life should be.
The couple have registered with luxury London department store Liberty, Berry Bros & Rudd and antique store Talisman, and have also asked for a silk rug, cutlery, a mirror, a cocktail set, some tea strainers and a rabbit-shaped jelly mould – Kate loves to make her own jam!

It appears that the Isle of Wight and crates of Champagne and endless bottles of Mahiki rum wasn’t enough for bride-to-be Kate Moss.
The 37-year-old supermodel – whose wedding to The Kills rocker Jamie Hince is just ten days away – is reportedly wanting to arrange a more upscale bash ahead of her nuptials.
According to reports Kate has booked the penthouse suite in the lavish Ritz hotel so she and her friends can enjoy another shindig in the French capital.
We’re sure Kate and her pals will have fun in the four-bedroom £8,000 a night suite before going clubbing on the Paris scene.
So far guests to Miss Moss’ wedding have had very few details about the forthcoming nuptials, as the fashion queen is keeping details very close to heart. To date those lucky enough to have gotten an invite only know the wedding is happening on 1 July instead of the original 2 July.
We want to know what the bride is wearing!

Another summer weekend, another celebrity wedding. Last week we had Lily Allen walking down the aisle, this Saturday it was former Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher who tied the knot with his girlfriend of 13 years, Sara MacDonald, in New Forest, south England.
Noel wore a light grey suit with a white shirt and black tie, while Sara wore a full-length vintage ivory gown before changing into a Tom Ford sequinned dress for the reception. The happy couple danced their first dance as husband and wife to the tune of ‘Be My Baby’ by the Ronettes.
As expected the guest list was full of well-known names. Russell Brand had the guests in fits of laughter as he performed the role of best man to perfection, revealing funny stories about Noel. Also present to celebrate the newlyweds were the likes of fellow musician Paul Weller, comedian David Walliams and his model wife Lara Stone and actor John Simm – the reception apparently went on until 7am Sunday morning. These celebs eh!
One name, however, was notably absent from the guest list – that of Noel’s brother Liam. The siblings famously had a falling out some years ago and have since not spoken if we’re to believe the reports. Liam, who has previously insisted he had not been invited to the wedding, was on tour in Chicago.
Did Liam get an invite or not??

Were you as baffled as us when you saw the images of Lily Allen getting married in a wedding dress by French designer Delphine Manive? We thought it was meant to be Karl Lagerfeld!
As it turns out Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld DID make a bridal gown for Lily ahead of her wedding to Sam Cooper, which the newlywed mummy to be wore to the reception. Lily confirmed it via Twitter earlier today and an image of the sketch has been uploaded to Chanel.com.
Guess Lily wanted to keep the beautiful Chanel creation hidden from the world for a bit longer so that her nearest and dearest could see it before everyone else.

Before we cause heartbreak among many of the die-heard Twilight fans out there, we’d just like to say that Robert Pattinson – who is in a relationship with his co-star Kristen Stewart – is set to get married in the penultimate film of the Twilight saga to Bella Swan (Kristen’s character) who is wearing a Carolina Herrera bridal gown – he is not getting married in real life… yet at least.
But when the time is right, the 25-year-old Brit actor is certain that he wouldn’t want to get married in front of hundreds of celebrities and would ideally just have a small, intimate ceremony with close family and friends.
Robert told Heat Magazine: “I imagine it to be pretty simple. It’s not exactly my style to fly in 500 different celebrities from around the world.
“My best friends now are the same best friends I had before everything got a little crazy. I would want it to just be family and close friends, not somebody I’ve said hello to once at an awards ceremony.”
The actor did however recently speak about his desire to settle down and start a family, so best watch this space. With the amount of celebrity couples getting engaged recently we wouldn’t be surprised if the Twilight saga gets another, real-life, instalment.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is out in UK cinemas in November 2011.

Twilight fans can stop guessing who will design the wedding dress of Bella Swan, the creators of the vampire saga Summit Entertainment have confirmed via Twitter that Carolina Herrera is the woman behind the gown.
We have to wait a few more weeks to see Bella’s dress, but it will perhaps draw inspiration from Carolina Herrera’s 2012 spring collection which offers high necklines and long sleeves – Kate Middleton much?
The collection also features lots of romantic embroidered Chantilly lace, and a couple of dramatic full skirts as well.

Hefner and his London bunnies
Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner’s fiancé Crystal Harris has called off their wedding. Perhaps she got fed up with having to share him with the other bunnies…
According to TMZ.com, the couple – who were due to tie the knot on Saturday 18. June at the Playboy Mansion – have decided to call off their nuptials after a huge argument over the phone last weekend which resulted in the blonde model moving out of the mansion.
Looks like the 300 plus guests have to find something else to do on Saturday. Then again we wouldn’t be surprised if the wedding is suddenly back on again or perhaps Hugh will find a new leading lady before then – stranger things have happened in La La Land before.

While Lily Allen was away in Gloucestershire tying the knot to now husband Sam Cooper, bride-to-be Kate Moss and her entourage, including Jade Jagger, Sadie Frost and Stella McCartney, descended on the Isle of Wight festival ahead of her July wedding to Kills rocker Jamie Hince.
The Isle of Wight festival kicks off the festival season here in the UK, and Kate and her friends made sure that their presence was noticed. The star-studded group partied the night away, being driven on golf buggies to the back stage area while making their way through a whopping 120 bottles of Mahiki rum (apparently a favourite of Princes William and Harry), as well as champagne, vodka and gin. With nothing spared on the do, Kate and her friends apparently enjoyed the rum so much that they had another 30 crates flown in especially by the club’s helicopter.
Wonder if Miss Moss will hang up her party shoes when she ties the knot with Jamie?
