Charli XCX, pop’s unruly darling and feminist futurist, just tied the knot in the most brat way conceivable. She married George Daniel in a party that defied traditional wedding rules in a bright coastal setting. No fluffy ballgowns or vanilla pageantry—just bold silhouettes, punk attitude, and a look that revolutionized what it means to be a bride in 2025. This wasn’t just any wedding; it was a statement.
A Vintage Rebellion: The Nova Cora Mini as Bridal Armor
Charli’s wedding attire was more than just a dress; it made a message. The Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora Mini may have been bridal white, but its spirit was anything but traditional. The off-the-shoulder neckline and corseted bodice provided traditional Westwood structure, while the asymmetrical drape and thigh-skimming hemline added the appropriate amount of rebellious femininity. Charli exuded pure Brat energy at the altar, wearing enormous black sunglasses and smiling effortlessly. This was not about pageantry; it was about presence. About seizing your moment in something honest, romantic, and authentic. Forget about long trains and demure silhouettes. This was couture with charisma.
An Icon Meets Her Muse: Charli XCX & the Westwood Legacy
Long before her wedding, Charli had established herself as a Vivienne Westwood’s rebellious fashion lineage member. The two first met in 2017, when Charli showed up to a Westwood event dressed as a punk princess, complete with a corset, stripes, and a choker bearing the brand’s name. The connection was instant: Westwood’s unashamed activism and avant-garde romanticism complemented Charli’s feminist, popstar mentality. Walking down the aisle in Vivienne was more than simply aesthetically pleasing; it was also ancestral. It was a tribute to a designer who helped redefine what femininity, fashion, and resistance looked like.
Brat, Not Bride: Charli XCX’s Anti-Traditional “I Do”
Charli did more than go down the aisle; she strolled tradition while flipping it off. From her arrival in signature sunglasses to the unconcerned smirk that never left her face, the wedding was about creating a moment that seemed uniquely her. The rental bikes photobombing the background as if they were all part of the installation.
A Vivienne Westwood mini instead of a ball gown, a table with a wedding cake and a tray of cigarettes, every aspect exuded brat energy. It was not about being the ideal bride. It was about being Charli. That alone made it iconic.
Feminine, Free, and Unbothered: The Quiet Feminism of Charli’s “I Do”
In a society where weddings are frequently seen as a quiet concession to tradition, her bridal moment was gorgeous and discreetly rebellious. Charli’s ceremony felt more like reclaiming than compliance, as she chose a short dress over a sweeping gown, attitude over daintiness, and focused on herself rather than the spectacle. It was the kind of feminism that doesn’t yell; it simply exists, unconcerned and unapologetic. She did not shrink to fit the role of, “wife.” She enlarged it to accommodate her.
From Stage to Aisle: A Family Affair
In a moment that felt just as intimate as it was iconic, Charli posed alongside her proud parents on the steps of her wedding venue—radiating pure joy in her Westwood mini. It’s a side of her we rarely see: the daughter, the bride, the radiant center of a heartfelt family portrait. While she may be pop’s reigning renegade, this photo shows she is also deeply anchored in love and legacy. Surrounded by people who raised her, Charli’s moment was more than just a fashion statement; it celebrated her roots and who she has become.
Post-Vows, Still Serving Looks
The newlyweds didn’t just flee into a honeymoon haze; they stepped out in London looking like a rockstar pair. Charli changed out her Westwood mini for a flirty, off-the-shoulder white mini dress and kept her bridal heels on, pairing them with oversized shades that screamed “Mrs. but make it Brat.” George matched her modest glam with a loose, silky grey button-down and navy trousers; it was effortlessly cool, and no tie was required. Together, they created post-wedding fashion that was less reception and more insurrection.
Here’s to Mrs. and Mr. XCX, who demonstrated that love does not need abandoning edge, and that a wedding does not have to be traditional. They married on their own terms, wearing a Westwood dress, leaving a punk-pop legacy, and building a union on creativity. Cheers to forever in platforms and synth sounds.
