Christian Dior Shares the Making of Song Hye Kyo’s Couture Wedding Gown

I can get so excited about fashion and dissecting it deeper beyond whether it looks good or not. That’s the intrigue about K-actress Song Hye Kyo‘s polarizing wedding gown worn last week during her star-studded wedding to now husband Song Joong Ki. It was quickly revealed to be a Christian Dior creation and the reviews were mixed, some loving the traditional conservative style that was fitted well for Song Hye Kyo’s petite frame, others finding the gown dowdy and not fashionably fascinating enough befitting this wedding of the year.

My opinion is mixed, I thought Song Hye Kyo looked beautiful in her happiness and the gown fit her very well, hence overall it worked. But the design was a bit of a letdown considering she could have pulled off much more unique styles that would be worthy of gracing the cover of Vogue. Now Christian Dior has posted a series of Instagram updates revealing the making of Song Hye Kyo’s dress which was a couture creation by Dior head designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, adapted from a black velvet couture gown from her Spring 2017 collection.

  • Honestly, that wedding dress looked matronly and only accentuated the notion that Song Hye Kyo looks like an aunt next to her husband.. But as long as the bride felt comfortable in that dress then it’s fine

      • yes I felt the same. From a certain distance, the dress looked pretty. I think that was due to the silhouette of the dress. But up close, the dress looked very matronly and plain. It also didn't help that she paired that with an updo with a middle parting, which also aged her. She still looked gorgeous, I just think she could have easily looked even more gorgeous.

      • Yes, I agree as well. The bodice at times didn't look quite right as well. However, the bride looked radiant and that is all that matters.

      • Oh get over yourself. People are allowed to express their opinions, especially since these two are public figures. Everyone does that. Just look at any similar article and you’ll see comments either criticising or praising celebs’ dress choices. Besides, it’s not like any of our opinions matter to Mrs Song Hye Kyo anyway lol

      • Yet most don't leave sexist tacky ageist crappy comments like yours ;) but you are right. She doesn't care about your hatefulness lol she's a happy newlywed while you.... Well

      • @Funny
        ’’Sexist’’ and ’’ageist’’ are just some big ole’ buzzwords you wrote down to appear witty. Nothing in my comment was even remotely sexist or ageist. Did I say it is a bad thing that a woman is older than her man? Now as for sexist, why have I not discussed Song Joong Ki’s attire; well, this article is about *Song Hye Kyo’s* marble white Christian Dior wedding dress. And all men have that standard tuxedo, nothing worth mentioning. Is now calling someone matronly and aunty looking due to certain styling being sexist and ageist now? Again, did I say it was a bad thing? Come up with something more creative, will you? :)

      • She's always had bad taste in clothing. Not surprising she choose that dress and hairstyle. Actually the original dress is not bad, but it's made with a different fabric that flows nicely. It also looks better because the model is tall and lanky.

      • I think she looked lovely. Forgive me, I am no fashion expert but I disagree. The bride looked beautiful. She wore what suited her personality.

      • the photo posted here may have not given justice to the gown that SHK wore. If anybody noticed the flow of the piece from Dior's atelier, one may rethink and acknowledge that the gown is actually beautiful and comfy.

        the silhouette may look traditional and way plainer than the velvet black gown but people it is a wedding dress. the material used for the gown was not even described so who are we to say that it was a very poor choice for the bride's part? does the bride have to show more curve and skin for us fans to say that the gown is outstanding?

        can't we just be happy that the bride is glowing with happiness? she may have just march down the aisle with her character's/doctor's lab gown in DoTS while he sports his special forces black suit on the same drama and voila. they're married!

  • Although the design is a letdown, the style seems befitting of SHK. It seems like she likes such designs.

  • The original black dress is better. Maybe it's because the white satin doesn't look as good as the velvet. Miranda kerr also use the same designer with different but similar style but her wedding gown looks much more elegant i think.

  • I don't like nitpicking a woman's makeup, hair or dress on her wedding day. Or It's her choice. She looked pretty as always.

  • She is not currently, never has been and most probably will never be a fashionista. That is not her forte. This wedding dress was their choice. There is more to life than being pretty. May they be happy.

  • thank you @lede3957 for your wise comment.

    it looks nice to me and fitted her well.knowing shk i anticipated this kind of dress and she got it free anyway as a good gesture for their long association.May God bless this lovely couple

  • I think this is just really her style. For me, the simplicity of the dress accentuates her gorgeous face.

  • We are on the same wavelength Mizuki i like the simplicity of SHK dress she doesn't need a fashionable wedding gown her beauty is enough for a simple yet elegant wedding dress
