Gabbriette made sure her wedding looks were as one-of-a-kind as her love with Matty Healy.
Gabbriette, 28, opened up to Vogue about her three custom wedding looks ahead of tying the knot with the singer on July 18. “I’ve always loved designers like Matières Fécales that tell stories through fabric,” the model told the publication in an interview published on Tuesday, July 21. “Their last show was just a full story, and I just felt like they were a perfect match.”
First, Gabbriette worked on her pre-wedding dress, called the “Leigh,” which was inspired by the musician’s love for Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The “something old” Martin Margiela design, which was from her own closet, featured a black silhouette with white tulle poking out on the back of her skirt and lining her hem. The rest of the look was equipped with long sleeves and a fitted bodice.
“Is bridal always white? Clearly not,” Gabbriette said of her epic look. “Bridal is whatever you want it to be. I’ve always been a fan of black clothing, and it felt right using this dress that I’ve loved for so long and repurposing it.”
As for her ceremony dress, Gabbriette nicknamed the gown “Gabriella.” The stunning white dress was equipped with a pleated bodice and whimsical skirt that cascaded into a long train. She complemented the look with a veil and Christian Louboutin heels.
“I feel like a princess,” she gushed of the look. “That was the goal.” Her mom, Chayo Bechtel, agreed, “It’s stunning. Stunning.”
Gabbriette topped off her bridal era by wearing a two-piece leather set for her afterparty. Her fresh ensemble was complete with a satin riding hat, flared pants and a plunging jacket. She tied her look together with another pair of red bottoms.
“This is when I’m going to come out [and say], ‘Time to party!’” Gabbriette exclaimed of the fit, ensuring she would have a glass of champagne in her hand. “Honestly, I see a little bit of Nicole Kidman or Kylie Minogue going on,” she noted of the vibe.
Chayo also shared what she was most looking forward to at the nuptials. “Well, there are a few things,” she began. “Number one is seeing her dressed as a princess. Number two, witnessing my daughter marrying her best friend. And the third is just the celebration, to watch everybody celebrate this amazing event and true love.”
Gabbriette was just as excited to tie the knot with Healy, 37, whom she’s been with since September 2023. “I’m very excited about getting married—it’s been like eight months of planning,” she shared. “I feel like him and I should have just eloped, but it’s fine.”
