Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days.

While evolving bridal fashion trends have made suits, bright colors and shorter hemlines more common, the image of a demure, virgin-like woman in princess gown is still ubiquitous in western culture.

But on Saturday, musician Charli XCX proved that going against bridal tradition isn’t simply a matter of style, it’s an attitude.

At an east London townhall, the “Brat” singer married her boyfriend, The 1975 drummer George Daniel, in an outfit that was faithful to her signature party girl style. An ivory, Vivienne Westwood mini dress — the most traditional element of her bridal get-up — was offset with her trademark blackout bugeye sunglasses, worn everywhere from her most recent Glastonbury Festival performance to out clubbing with friends. She donned a pair of Jimmy Choo Amita 95 court heels, but eschewed a necklace or bracelet, and instead wore just her engagement ring and two small hoops in her ears. Her long black hair was left down, embellished with a mid-length veil. Unfussy, pared-back and distinctly Charli.

It didn’t take long for photographs of the pair’s low-key nuptials to circulate across the internet. On X, images of the newly-weds smoking and drinking orange wine at an outdoor table at popular neighbourhood Italian restaurant Dalla — the familiar acid glow of several parked Lime Bikes (the city’s preferred E-bike provider) loomed in the background — spread fast. No one found Charli’s anti-bride vibe more endearing than her fellow Londoners: “Just married, cig & drink in hand, sat in front of lime bikes. The king and queen of east London. Everything is romantic,” read one post on X now liked over 49,000 times. “Idk (I don’t know) how to explain it but I really love when brides get married looking very much like themselves,” added another.
