Designers dream up Bella Swan's wedding gown

Design by Christian Siriano

Exciting news for all you Twilight fans!

InStyle reached out to several designers to see how they would envision Bella Swan's wedding gown.

In the third installment of Stephenie Meyer's saga, Eclipse, Bella's dress is described as an early 1900s design (with some modern tweaks made by Alice Cullen) that complements her antique engagement ring.

Check out the gowns, along with descriptions from InStyle, below!

My favs are Siraiano's, Badgley Mischka's, and Erin Fetherston's.



Zac Posen
This pink gown features a turn-of-the-century corset, bustle, full skirt, high-neck and dramatic detailed sleeves. Posen keeps to the vintage theme by finishing with lace-up boots.

Badgley Mischka
Badgley Mischka's vision is a strong silhouette with vintage details like full-length lace sleeves and bodice, and a high-buttoned neck.

Lela Rose
Rose focused on the rear view of her off-white, handcrafted dress. The simple body gathers at back into a sweet lace bustle.

Prabal Gurung
Gurung had the most modern interpretation. The dress has a dramatic train, low-cut back and features a unique neckline with red embellishments for a touch of color.

Max Azria
Azria focused on the vintage lace detail for his Victorian inspired gown. The dress is complete with lace peaked shoulders, full sleeves and a high neck
.

Brian Reyes
Reyes envisions the fabric as a slightly tarnished bone color. The silhouette is a long skirt with a ruffled blouse and lace diamond inserts. The inspiration is a youthful spin on early 20th century Edwardian era elegance.


Erin Fetherston
This interpretation has a high-neck, puff sleeves and lace bustier. Fetherston put her signature ethereal touch on the two-tiered body with a tulle and lace underlayer.


Monique Lhuillier
Lhuillier's creation is a mermaid-style dress with lace detailing. The reworked take on a gown from the 1920s features a silk sash and high neck with cap sleeves.

The Met Ball 2009


The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute Gala is the Oscars of the fashion-world. It is at this time that fashion-savvy celebrities, supermodels and designers come together, dressed in fabulous clothing, to celebrate the launch of the Met's latest exhibit.

This year's theme was the Models as Muse: Embodying Fashion, and was hosted by Marc Jacobs, Justin Timberlake, Kate Moss, and Anna Wintour.

The guests wore their best suits and gowns, and some of them made more daring fashion choices: Kate Moss sported a gold lame turban, Rihanna wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit, and Madonna turned heads in her Louis Vuitton ensemble, bunny ears and everything.

The Gossip Girls, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester didn't do to well on their fashion choices, with Lively's teal Versace dress with its high-cut slit up the side, and Meester's floral Vuitton emsemble. Blair and Serena would be disgusted.

Agyness Deyn resembled Marilyn Monroe with a short blonde bob and a silver Burberry gown, and Heidi Klum's very pregnant physique was extremely noticeable in her J. Mendel dress, even though it was meant to hide the bump.

Here are some of the most memorable looks of the night!

New York Fashion Week - Fall 2009 RTW

Favourite looks (click photos to enlarge!):


Alexander Wang - Always effortlessly cool. His
androgynous looks were a nice contrast to his
sexier dresses.


Badgley Mischka - Lots of glamorous, Oscar-worthy gowns.



Erin Fetherston - Romantic ballerina-esque dresses
a la Blair Waldorf.


Marc by Marc Jacobs - Some really cute men's looks,
which I definitely preferred over the women's wear.


Marchesa - Designer Georgina Chapman succeeded in
achieving her fairy-tale looks. This collection
left me breathless.


Marc Jacobs - Inspired by the "good old days
in New York. The blue number is something I can
definitely see Lady Gaga wearing!

Miss Sixty - Eighties-inspired rock-and-roll looks

Also, totally obsessed with Doo.Ri's embellished tights.
