Narciso Rodriguez is married! The designer, who has a genius knack for creating perfectly sophisticated and minimalist classic wedding dresses for any occasion, tied the knot with advertising executive Thomas Tolan at the Gramercy Park Hotel in a star-studded fête this weekend. As Rodriguez and Tolan celebrated alongside celebrity guests like Jessica Alba and Jessica Seinfeld, we reflected on our favorite wedding-worthy looks from the designer. Rodriguez is no stranger to weddings. He proved his mettle by dreaming up the iconic bias-cut sheath wedding dresses worn by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in 1996 and has gone on to outfit some big Hollywood's names both on the red carpet and down the ceremony aisle. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's iconic Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress was the antidote and symbolic end to the frothy cupcake dresses of the 80's and early 90's. Her intimate, hush-hush wedding to John F. Kennedy, Jr. was marked by its off-the-map location (a historic Baptist church on Cumberland Island, Georgia) and total secrecy from the press. The only published image from their wedding shows how the slender Bessette-Kennedy was the ideal model for the sleek, simple, yet luxe gown. Her white gloves and elegant chignon all played off the simplicity of Rodriguez's creation. The roughly $40,000 pearl-colored wedding dress, on which he and Bessette-Kennedy worked closely for months, catapulted his fashion career. Rodriguez debuted his namesake line in 1997, with the CFDA awards and first lady fans to come soon after.
