What began as a highly intricate bridal look changed as soon as the bride tried on the toile. “The simplicity of it was magnificent,” recalls Leslie. “We didn’t have to overly detail the dress to accomplish the magnitude of it, so we ended up eliminating the embroidery.” Instead, they added French lace on handmade gloves and an exquisite train that sits over the gown and decorates it like “a work of art”. Fremar says the overall effect is “unbelievable”. For Peltz’s part, she has never felt more special. Piccioli, who keeps Zendaya in dopamine-inducing looks, was Peltz’s first port of call. “It was a no-brainer,” says Nicola, who has long admired Pierpaolo’s agenda-setting couture shows and wore Valentino to the Met Gala 2021. That’s not to say she wasn’t reduced to fangirl mode when entering the atelier.
