Angelia Jolie is known for her sultry features and classic fashion selections, so when the alluring starlet announced her pending nuptials, there was only one question … “Who will she be wearing?”
Jolie often remains subdued in her garment choices, opting for classic black dresses for most of her red carpet appearances, while her piercing eyes and coveted pout act as accessories to her ensemble. With her highly anticipated wedding on the horizon, Grazia revealed that designer L’Wren Scott will make an honest woman out of Jolie. The former model turned designer and current girlfriend of Mick Jagger, L’Wren Scott, has dressed Jolie for a few red carpet appearances in the past. L’Wren Scott is known for making designs for taller slender women that personify luxury and beauty, which is understandably why Jolie chose her.
Despite the rumor mill swirling with prospective designers from Gucci to Versace, insiders claim that Jolie “wanted someone that wasn’t known for bridal design.” The source also said, “Of all the people she’s met with, Angelina feels L’Wren is the one who understands her body the most.”
L’Wren Scott is expert at emphasizing the feminine silhouette, and has had her designs seen on Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker, and countless others. Scott’s affinity for fashion occurred years prior when she relocated from Utah to Los Angeles, in pursuit of a styling career. Her talent was quickly recognized, which led to her role as a creative director for major campaigns and costume design for film. Her acclaim in the industry provided her the ability to fully pursue a career in fashion design, which led to infinite possibilities. What also makes L’Wren Scott collections nontraditional is the fact that she doesn’t design based on seasons but rather creates cohesive collections with unique names. Launched in 2006, Scott’s first collection “Little Black Dress” was based on the idea of wearable versatile pieces, entirely in black.
After five years in the industry, L’Wren Scott has transformed her company into a lifestyle brand offering garments, shoes, bags, and even partnering with Lancome in the past to create a makeup line. The brand is built upon a philosophy of timeless style, rejecting the concept of trends in favor of creating versatile, classic pieces that can be worn in a variety of ways and jointures of a woman’s day. Scott’s Lula bag collection, a line of exotic skin luxury bags, emphasizes classic bag silhouettes and is sold exclusively at Barneys.
One can only fathom the style, color and intricacy of the personally designed bridal dress for one of Hollywood’s sexiest actresses.
