Why We Love Charli XCX's "Bratty" Bridal Dress

Article (news)

<p>As the &quot;brat summer&quot; era draws to a close, <strong>Charli XCX</strong> wraps it up in true brat style with a wedding that perfectly encapsulates her quirky, bold, and self-defined personal brand. Rather than following the traditional bridal playbook, Charli leaned into her signature aesthetic for a ceremony that underscores an expression of identity.</p><p>Her bridal aesthetic is very much aligned with &quot;Brat Summer,&quot; a cultural phenomenon she sparked, along with her sixth studio album, <em><strong>Brat</strong></em><strong></strong><strong></strong>; the statement is <strong></strong><strong></strong><em><strong></strong></em>about authenticity and being unapologetic. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMVtq3qsUB8/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A17003500.599999994%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="903" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In true internet-native fashion, Charli teased her wedding not with a formal announcement but with a cheeky TikTok video. Participating in the popular OOTD trend, she strutted in a silk, off-the-shoulder, layered mini dress by<strong> Vivienne Westwood</strong>, complete with oversized sunglasses. The caption read, &quot;when george isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,&quot; adding a dose of humor and defiance to what is typically a highly emotional (and often overly sentimental) moment. She is, of course, referring to her partner, <strong>George Daniel</strong>, the drummer <strong></strong>of the English pop-rock band<strong> The 1975</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@charlixcx/video/7528870675382324502" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7528870675382324502" id="v16766169486048566" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v16766169486048566" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7528870675382324502?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2025-07-21T12%3A50%3A06.887601%3A287bb140-c78c-4f50-8060-3c5c9e3a5a59%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:722px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:722px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The video didn’t directly confirm the wedding—it was not meant to. That’s the point. Charli’s unserious, tongue-in-cheek approach became a powerful statement: your wedding does not have to look like anyone else’s. It doesn&#x27;t need fanfare, glamour, or even an announcement. It just needs to feel right to you.</p><p>The official confirmation came later: Charli married George in a low-key ceremony at Hackney Town Hall in London earlier that day. She wore a Vivienne Westwood mini dress—an iconic choice that aligned with her rebellious, fashion-forward image.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMWqOzEh6SE/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A17426049.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>What makes Charli’s “Brat Wedding” so influential is its message: weddings don’t need to follow tradition to be meaningful. Instead, they can be playful, intimate, deeply personal—and yes, even unserious. Charli&#x27;s take resonates especially with a new generation of brides who are redefining what weddings should look and feel like.</p><p>This celebration was more than a wedding—it was a branding moment, a cultural shift, and a reminder to embrace your individuality. Charli didn’t just throw a party. She set the tone for a new kind of bride: bold, bratty, and entirely herself.</p><div><br/></div><p>Lead photo from <strong>@wildatheartbridal</strong></p>
