Madonna ‘85 Wedding dress:
Finally, shortly before 6:30 p.m. the principals themselves appeared, Sean in a double‑breasted $695 Gianni Versace suit he had bought off the rack one week earlier on Rodeo Drive, Madonna (looking stunning) in a strapless Cinderella gown created by her Like a Virgin tour designer and video image‑maker, Marlene Stewart. Madonna’s French‑twist hairdo was covered with a black bowler draped in cream‑colored tulle, her trademark crucifixes discreetly discarded for a single long earring and an antique pearl bracelet. Draped across her dress like a beauty contestant’s sash was a silver‑and‑pink silk metallic net, dripping with encrusted jewels, pearls and dried roses. “We wanted a ’50s feeling,” designer Stewart would say later, “something Grace Kelly might have worn.”
