Laureen Uy just got hitched! On Monday, April 8, the OG fashion blogger tied the knot with her long-time beau, Miggy Cruz. The couple exchanged vows in a grand beachside ceremony that took place at the luxe Club Paradise resort in Coron, Palawan.
Their wedding guest list read like a "who's who" of Philippine showbiz. Alongside her renowned stylist siblings, Liz and Vince Uy, also present at the event were local celebrities like Anne Curtis, Vice Ganda, Georgina Wilson, James Reid, and Issa Pressman– only to name a few.
But apart from the star-studded guest list and the picturesque scenery, all eyes were on the bride herself, who donned a stunning Vivienne Westwood bridal ensemble, complete with the three row pearl bas relief choker. Matched with an elegant, bronzy makeup look by Jelly Eugenio and a sleek up-do by Raymond Santiago, Laureen was an absolute sight to behold as she walked down the aisle.
LOOK: Laureen Uy Dons a Stunning Vivienne Westwood Bridal Gown to Her Palawan Beach Wedding
For her wedding day, Laureen donned the elegant Galaxy Cape dress from Vivienne Westwood's 2024 made-to-order bridal line. This gown is a striking reinterpretation of the iconic Galaxy silhouette, originally designed by the house for red carpet looks. Historically, Hollywood stars like Diane Kruger and Rihanna have sported this silhouette in the past. Diane showcased it at the 65th Cannes Film Festival in 2012, while Rihanna flaunted the signature corset bodice in a custom ensemble for the 2012 Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
Now transformed into a sophisticated wedding gown, the Galaxy Cape dress is crafted from pearl white crepe satin, featuring a cinched waist and a draped, crescented neckline– reminiscent of the house's iconic Ball Tie gown draping. The train comes in an 18th-century Watteau-style cape that dramatically cascades behind the corseted bodice.
The ensemble was further elevated with the addition of another iconic piece by the house: the Three Row Pearl Bas Relief Choker. First debuted in Vivienne Westwood’s Spring/Summer 1990 collection “Portrait,” the seminal piece features three rows of meticulously hand-knotted Swarovski pearls, fastened with the brand’s iconic orb, embellished in silver-tone plating and platinum crystals.
In true Laureen Uy fashion, this wedding look epitomized her distinct flair and personality. From her Break My Style days in the 2010s up to this day, people have come to know Laureen for her fearless approach to fashion, unafraid to sport bold colors and silhouettes. It’s only fitting that for her wedding day, the bride donned a piece by a designer best known for their punk-inspired, rebellious, yet inherently romantic design sensibilities.
