Marisa Tom — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:20:51 PDT

You don't need a ring on your finger to appreciate the plethora of gorgeous gowns spotted at this season's Bridal Fashion Week. But if you do happen to be heading down the aisle, what better time to scope out the best and most beautiful gowns straight from the runway? For Spring 2013, both Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, and Romona Keveza sent models out in crimson-hued dresses (making us wonder, "Is red the new white?"), Monique Lhuillier designed princess-worthy gowns in tufts of Chantilly lace and beautifully constructed tulle trains, and Angel Sanchez channeled a mermaid-meets-futuristic vibe with edgier silhouettes and a frosty palette. And that's just the beginning - we've got Machesa, Badgley Mischka, Carolina Herrera, and more inside. Just click the slideshow to see all the extraordinary wedding dresses now.

SAG Awards: Jayma Mays

Glee's Jayma Mays sparkled in a dark, floor-skimming Reem Acra gown. Aside from the sequin-and-shine factor, the back of the dress featured a black lacy cutout that was equal parts sweet and sexy. She finished her SAGs look off with a high ponytail, smoky kohl-lined eyes, and elegant white drop earrings. What do you think of this embellished ensemble?

Golden Globes: Madonna

Madonna is never one to go with the masses, and her Golden Globes look spoke to that truth. For the night's festivities, Madonna wore a sequined silver and green bodice gown by Reem Acra, complete with fingerless gloves - only she can pull off fingerless gloves on the red carpet. Letting her dress do all the talking, Madonna kept the rest of her look minimal, complementing the ensemble with her trademark cross necklace, soft wavy hair, and a natural makeup palette. L-u-v?

The always-gorgeous Diane Lane hit the Golden Globes in a gold Reem Acra gown. She played with the Old Hollywood theme, channeling the era's glamour with sculpted waves, rose-hued lips, and a pair of decadent, jewel-drop earrings. A handheld metallic box clutch was the finishing touch. How do you think she did?

How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders smolders on the red carpet wearing a body-hugging Reem Acra dress paired with standout accessories (like that Jimmy Choo clutch). Her gold collar necklace and hammered cuff add a high-fashion touch to her look, and we love her old Hollywood updo. Smoky eyes, light pink lips, and neutral sandals complete her ensemble.

Reem Acra on Designing Dresses For Princesses, Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress Style, and More!

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:17:46 PDT

With wedding season in full swing, we caught up with wedding dress extraordinaire Reem Acra to talk about her Spring 2012 collection, the upcoming royal wedding, and designing dresses for princesses. Listen up to what she has to say below, then click on the slideshow to see the most beautiful looks from her bridal collection.

FabSugar: What kind of woman did you have in mind when designing your Spring 2012 collection?

Reem Acra: Princesses – all of the princesses I've dressed in the past couple of years. I've thought about them and what they would have liked and what they would want to see from me. I made the collection thinking about all of them and their dreams. It's for all of the brides - because they're all princesses to me.

FS: How would you describe Kate Middleton's wedding style?

RA: I am very excited to see what Kate Middleton is going to wear. She is very modern, but she has to be classic at the same time.

FS: What's the craziest wedding dress you've been asked to design?

RA: I've been asked to do lots of cha-cha. Stuff, stuff, stuff, and too many embellishments. I always refuse; I can't design something that won't look good.

FS: What kind of advice can you give a bride-to-be when looking for the perfect dress?

RA: I think you should be yourself whether you're the fun flirtatious or serious type. After all, it's your wedding day and you should enjoy it. The dress is extremely important in my eyes, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a designer, but because I know if you look good on the outside, you're confident and more powerful in the inside, and you will exude that happiness and power to all of your friends and family around you.

FS:
Besides the dress, what else should a bride splurge for on her wedding day?

RA: Flowers. They add the perfect touch to any situation. You don't need anything else.
