Jennifer Lopez wore not one, but three different dresses for her wedding.
The singer-actress looked to Ralph Lauren to create all her looks for her second marriage celebration to Ben Affleck in Georgia over the weekend, held at the actor’s private 87-acre compound on Hampton Island Preserve.
Lopez’s first dress was a turtleneck column gown with a dramatic ruffle hem featuring 1,000 hand-cut handkerchiefs and a voluminous skirt created from 500 meters of fabric cut into ruffles. The sleeves are inset with a cascading ruffle, draped from the back of the turtleneck to the shoulder to create a heritage-inspired look.
Her second look was a chandelier pearl gown adorned with thousands of cascading strings of pearls. According to a statement from Ralph Lauren, it took approximately 700 hours for 30 artisans to hand embroider the dress with micro-pleats of silk tulle, tiny pearl embellishments and Swarovski crystals.
