Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion said “yes” to Skims. The soon-to-be newlyweds star in the brand’s 2025 Wedding Shop campaign, embracing romance and sensuality in pictures taken by photographer Carin Backoff. There’s good news for those who can’t seem to look away: Skims’ Wedding Shop has officially dropped, with hosiery, slip dresses, sateen pants, corsets and further bride-and-groom essentials worthy of a ring.
“After about 10 minutes of shooting, I looked at the monitor screen, and then I turned to Abby and said, ‘Should we just use these photos as our wedding invite?’ They’re awesome. The ones in the suit were funny and sexy and playful,” Schwarzenegger told WWD of the campaign shoot. “I feel like in 10 to 20 years from now, we will show our kids and think of how awesome it was that we got to take photos like this together. Especially right before our wedding.”

In one of the images, Schwarzenegger bares it all while posing next to his fiancée, who is modeling lace intimates. “I’ve seen this trend on TikTok where bridesmaids hand sexy photos to their groom on the wedding day, so now I’m happy that I can have sexy professional photos to make a book of for him as a present. Plus, now I don’t have to do any shopping for the honeymoon. I can just get everything I wore in the campaign,” Champion said.
Schwarzenegger proposed to Champion in December 2023 after eight years of dating. Their wedding plans were put on hold while the actor was filming Season Three of “The White Lotus” in Thailand. The show finally premiered on Feb. 16, taking Schwarzenegger’s stardom to a new level. “I’ve had people stop me in the line for coffee and explain for multiple minutes of where the show was going to go,” he said.
When it comes to getting spoilers of the show, Champion doesn’t get fiancée privileges. “I offered a trade to Patrick: details on my wedding dress if he gave me clues on the ending to ‘White Lotus.’ He wouldn’t make the deal, so I’ll be watching with the rest of the world,” she said. Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger promises “pure ‘White Lotus’ insanity” is coming. “Anyone who thought the season was slow or was waiting till things started to explode.…Buckle up,” he said.
The couple is set to get married in 2025, but the chosen date and location for the ceremony remain private. “We’ve been together for so long, our families have become so close. But [I’m looking forward] to finally tie the knot in a location that we love, with people we love,” the groom-to-be said.
Champion is also on the anticipation for the big day, and while she won’t reveal any details about her wedding dress, the supermodel already knows what she is packing for their honeymoon — Skims, of course. “There’s so many versatile items in this collection I can see myself wearing during many different times. I’ll for sure be packing the lingerie for the honeymoon, but don’t tell Patrick,” she said.
“Patrick and Abby’s love is so beautiful, and it shows in every shot,” Skims’ cofounder Kim Kardashian said in a statement. “Skims is all about making special moments even more meaningful, and with the variety of styles we offer, every couple and bridal party can find something that feels completely authentic to them.”
As seen in the new campaign, Skims’ 2025 Wedding Shop collection, now available in-store and online at skims.com, features options for all aspects of, well, weddings — spanning men’s boxers, lace robes to don while getting your makeup done (Prosecco in hand, of course) and endless lingerie options for the long-awaited honeymoon Champion spoke of. You can be sure of the fact that everything here benefits from Skims’ special touch, marked by a commitment to both quality and aesthetics.
Not getting married anytime soon? The versatile pieces, which we have a good feeling will sell out faster than the speed of a bouquet flying through the air, are great for singles, too.
