Why Emma Roberts Wore a Black Dress for Her Wedding to Cody John

Emma Roberts just got married to Cody John during an intimate Idaho ceremony and went with a black wedding dress. Or, at least that was her second look. While Emma wore a traditional white gown for her actual ceremony and reception, she worked with designer Monique Lhuillier to create an additional custom look based on an archival style from fall 2004. Per Vogue, it was actually a “two-piece look with a black corset top in Chantilly lace and a tea-length, hand-cut skirt made from layered silk organza.”Here’s the 2004 runway look!Carlo Allegri//Getty Images“I love the idea of wearing black for the after party,” Emma—who described the aesthetic as “saloon boudoir”—explained. “We love doing something that’s a little unexpected. This looks like it could be totally vintage from 100 years ago, or from now. This is going to be so fun in Idaho at the after party.”Add Cosmopolitan as a preferred source in your Google search results.Use your Google account to add this to your settings.Emma showed the look off to friends and family during a fitting, and her friend Kara gushed, “This is your vision.
