Keep reading as we take a closer look at this star-studded wedding affair.
Who were the attendees?
The wedding brought together an elite roster of political and cultural figures. According to Page Six and The New York Times, attendees included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
On the style and society front, Anna Wintour of Vogue and Nicky Hilton Rothschild also made appearances on an already notable guest list. Additionally, host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon also joined the elite stars.
Iconic performance and heartfelt moment
In one of the night’s most memorable moments, R&B icons Boyz II Men performed live at the wedding festivities. Their nostalgic and soulful harmonies added a romantic and celebratory mood to the evening, which also reportedly featured heartfelt speeches by Hillary Clinton, fashion mogul Anna Wintour, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and Alex’s brother Jonathan Soros, as noted by The New York Times.
Bridal couture with deep personal meaning
Abedin stunned in two custom-designed wedding dresses, one for each ceremony. Vogue reported that she wore an ivory silk crepe Givenchy gown by Sarah Burton for the larger, Western-style celebration. Inspired by Audrey Hepburn, the dress featured olive-branch embroidery and intricate initials sewn into the fabric.
For the more intimate Muslim ceremony, Abedin chose a long-sleeved lace gown by Erdem Moralıoğlu. The design, reminiscent of Grace Kelly, incorporated Chantilly lace and held an emotional touch: the name of her late father and the couple’s initials embroidered in Arabic, hidden within the fabric.
