Socialite Olivia Palermo, who some may know from MTV's 'The City', wed this past weekend to model Johannes Huebl in New York surrounded by just a few family members and a couple of friends. As soon as news broke of her engagement earlier this year, speculations were being made as to who and what Olivia would be wearing on her big day. Olivia, who has been an icon in the fashion scene for years, even landed on the cover of 'Brides' magazine with a splash inside showing her in different scenario gowns. One fashion did involve a transformation of a stunning Monique Lhuillier dress that Olivia added a white button down blouse to which was then tied at the waist to tone it down a bit. She was also photographed in Marchesa and Elie Saab. However, it was Carolina Herrera who she ran with on her wedding day…in blue Sex and the City-inspired Manolo Blahniks!
It wasn't one of Carolina Herrera's amazing bridal gowns that Olivia wore though. Instead, it was a 3 piece ensemble made up of a skirt, a SWEATER, and SHORTS! Okay, so she does like to tone things down when it comes to fashion, we see, and she definitely doesn't follow suit. What's more is that she finished the look with a pony tail. I give her props because if you're toning a look down, but doing it with Carolina Herrera, it can actually work! And the ponytail…it's very her and true to herself and personal style. She basically stayed consistent on her wedding day and looked exquisite in Olivia Palermo style.
As much as I wanted to be upset about this look because I am always so eager to see the beautiful gowns that these fashion gurus pick, I think she could be the one person able to pull off this look. Do I see it as a new trend blossoming? Not necessarily. Perhaps a dress inspired by this look with shorts underneath will be on its way, but I don't see every day women being able to pull off or wanting to pull off a wedding outfit that consists of sweater material or shorts.
This look certainly showcased Olivia as her normal self - high fashion, poised, sophisticated, and truly unique. It's a very romantic look too!
