Which designer created Amal Clooney’s custom wedding dress for her 2014 marriage to George Clooney?

The story behind the answer

Oscar de la Renta created Amal Clooney’s custom wedding dress for her 2014 marriage to George Clooney.

The gown was made from French lace and featured hand-embroidered pearls and diamanté accents. Clooney wore it during the couple’s wedding celebrations in Venice, Italy, in September 2014. The dress was one of de la Renta’s final high-profile bridal creations before his death in October that year.

The design became notable for its combination of traditional bridal materials and a relatively modern, fitted silhouette. Clooney also wore a second de la Renta look for the civil ceremony, helping make the wedding a prominent example of contemporary celebrity bridal fashion.

A common mix-up is attributing the gown to Valentino, because Valentino Garavani designed several important celebrity wedding dresses and attended the wedding celebrations. The wedding dress itself, however, was by Oscar de la Renta.
