Bella's Breaking Dawn Wedding Dress to Hit Stores

Carolina Herrera designed the wedding dress Kristen Stewart dons as Bella Swan in Breaking Dawn Part 1, coming to theaters Nov. 18, but Alfred Angelo has been tapped to manufacture the gown worldwide. In the book, Bella's dress is described as a turn-of-the-century design, incorporating modern details into the early-1900s silhouette. How Herrera interpreted that description has been the source of much speculation (particularly after the 15-second movie teaser hinted at the outcome), but perhaps even more noteworthy will be how the Alfred Angelo team translates that gown into a mass-market option. The Twilight Bridal by Alfred Angelo dress will price within the line's usual range ($600-$2,500) and will be available in sizes 0 to 30. Look for the gown to hit stores in late November. —Phillip B.
