If after a frantic summer wedding season you are bored to death of cookie-cutter brides who all look alike (and don't look anything like their usual fashionable and fabulous selves) then you make enjoy this episode of She Who Can do no Wrong. Introducing Mrs Beth Ditto-Ogata!
Yes the inimitable vixen with the enormous voice married her long term partner Kristin in a casual ceremony on the Hawaiian island of Maui sometime recently. The happy bride logged her thanks to Jean Paul Gaultier on her bands facebook page in the weeks after the wedding, sweetly rhapsodising about her "dream-come-true dress!"
And what a dress. A beautiful tulle confection, strapless and perfectly proportioned to Ditto's famously short stature and abundant curves. The daringly plunging neckline was well constructed to support her assets as one could expect from a couturier of Gaultier's tenure. Her dark hair was waved under her short veil and the bride went barefoot, the only other accessory: her lacy heart tattoo on her right arm.
What I love about Beth in her wedding outfit is how comfortable she looks, how like Herself. So many brides make the mistake of wearing a meringue or something that wouldn't look out of place in a period drama. Fine if you're a dedicated donner of vintage, but for the rest? well I'm assuming a lot of grooms must peer down the aisle and wonder who the hell is tripping towards them on the arm of their future father-in-law.
Beth is fearless in her fashion choices, often matching her loud soprano voice with a suitably loud look, she's unselfconscious and daring and it usually pays off. I love how she looks the majority of the time. This may be one of her quieter choices, but it sure speaks volumes about the kind of dresser she is: unwaveringly true to herself. Take note brides-to-be!
