Wedding dress, American, silk, c. 1851.
This wedding dress presents a conundrum in that some stylistic aspects of the dress appear to be later than the marriage date of 1851 provided in the original accession records. While the bodice has very fashionable full size pagoda sleeves, which were a new shape in 1851, the skirt with bustle, train and ruffles at bottom is more consistent with the 1870s rather than the dome shape of the 1850s. While it is possible that the skirt was re-made for a later bride, there is no obvious indication of that being the case. Wedding clothes have traditionally been vehicles for fantasy and historicism, however, which may be the case in the styling of this one. It nevertheless is a grand dress made for a wedding in Grace Church, a high society Brooklyn house of worship.

ADDISON RAE at the 3rd Annual Academy Museum Gala on December 3rd 2023 wearing ROBERTO CAVALLI
I thought this was a good look for Addison. It was a bit more risque than what other attendees wore, but Addison rocks it. I thought the cutouts were super flattering, and I loved the halter top style. This was a really beautiful dress and I thought Addison looked great.

Maticevski 'Candescence Gown' - $5,510.00
Note that I’m working from low res screenshots but my best guess so far of this gown is this one by Maticevski. Of course, my greater thoughts are to come once we’ve fully absorbed both the music and the video this look is attached to but I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the obvious similarities between this sculptural strapless gown (comprised of meters upon meters of crisp, crinkly cotton and arranged in this artful, marble statue-like draping) and the Schiaparelli gown Taylor wore to announce The Tortured Poets Department at the Grammys.
This particular gown is from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection - its name of course to me is most reminiscent of the worn ‘candescent’, meaning to glow.
