[BellaAndEdward] 'Twilight': 'Project Runway' winner Christian Siriano sketches Bella's wedding gown --- 10 designers

 

'Twilight': 'Project Runway' winner Christian Siriano sketches Bella's wedding gown

Christian-Siriano-bella-dress_lInStyle.com has asked nine designers to sketch his or her vision of Bella's wedding gown/ FONT>, which SPOILER ALERT, we know from the third Twilight book, Eclipse, is an early 1900s design (with Alice Cullen's updates) and from the fourth, Breaking Dawn, is something that makes the bride's mother say, "You look like you just stepped out of an Austen movie." The gown pictured here is from Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, who tells InStyle, "I wanted this to be a modern day antique-inspired gown. The lace bodice climbs up to the neck to reveal a sultry open back of flesh with tiny silk buttons that clasp at the neck. It's a true turn of the century gown, full of Gothic and glamorous fullness in the skirt which flows as she moves. The gown is mysterious and feminine, perfect for a dream wedding." Browse InStyle's gallery, then choose your favorite in our poll after the jump.
Siriano has my vote: His design is elegant but youthful, and his open back isn't as steamy as Prabal Gurung's, which feels borderline inappropriate. My second pick would be Lela Rose, whose simple design would suit Bella, someone who doesn't like to be the center of attention, by focusing all eyes on the back of the gown. Monique Lhuillier went for a similar look, but with a bit more flash. Erin Fetherston went a little too Austen for my taste , while I have no idea where Brian Reyes was headed. At all. Max Azria's long-sleeved creation somehow captures Bella's awkward, quiet beauty, while Badgley Mischka's seems to be designed for Cruella De Vil (or Sharon Stone). Zac Posen's pink gown feels a little too Moulin Rouge for Bella…
Which designer's gown would you choose for Bella?








Monique Lhuillier

Lhuillier's creation is a mermaid-style dress with lace detailing. The reworked take on a gown from the 1920s features a silk sash and high neck with cap sleeves.

Erin Fetherston

This interpretation has a high-neck, puff sleeves and lace bustier. Fetherston put her signature ethereal touch on the two-tiered body with a tulle and lace underlayer.

Brian Reyes

Reyes envisions the fabric as a slightly tarnished bone color. The silhouette is a long skirt with a ruffled blouse and lace diamond inserts. The inspiration is a youthful spin on early 20th century Edwardian era elegance.

Max Azria

Azria focused on the vintage lace detail for his Victorian inspired gown. The dress is complete with lace peaked shoulders, full sleeves and a high neck.

Prabal Gurung

Gurung had the most modern interpretation. The dress has a dramatic train, low-cut back and features a unique neckline with red embellishments for a touch of color.

Lela Rose

Rose focused on the rear view of her off-white, handcrafted dress. The simple body gathers at back into a sweet lace bustle.

Christian Siriano

Siriano's three-tiered dress has a lace bustier and high ruffle neckline with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a full body.

Badgley Mischka

Badgley Mischka's vision is a strong silhouette with vintage details like full-length lace sleeves and bodice, and a high-buttoned neck.

Zac Posen

This pink gown features a turn-of-the-century corset, bustle, full skirt, high-neck and dramatic detailed sleeves. Posen keeps to the vintage theme by finishing with lace-up boots.
