Pop star Perrie Edwards, who married her long-term partner, footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, last weekend, donned not one but two wedding gowns crafted by Israeli designers for the occasion.
Edwards – who was propelled to fame as a member of chart-topping girl band Little Mix after the group won the X Factor in 2011 – tied the knot with Oxlade-Chamberlain in the Portuguese village of Estoi.
There may not have been a chuppah in sight – the couple said “I do” in a Catholic church – but Edwards, 32, told Vogue she selected creations by two different Israeli designers for the big day, before changing into a third dress later in the night.

Speaking to the British fashion magazine, Edwards revealed she had chosen a form-skimming lace gown with a pooling train by the Tel-Aviv based Jewish designer Dana Harel for the ceremony.
The singer, who has two children with Oxlade-Chamberlain, also 32, selected the gown and matching bolero – which she described as “classic and timeless” – at Browns Bride, an upscale London boutique.
“I’ve always envisioned myself in lace,” Edwards said.

Following the ceremony, Edwards opted for a strapless crystal-embellished floor-length gown by Galia Lahav, which she wore for her first dance as a newlywed with Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Founded by the eponymous Israeli designer in 1986, this bridal brand is also based in Tel Aviv. In 2018, Beyoncé wore a Galia Lahav gown when she renewed her vows to husband Jay-Z.
Edwards later changed into a custom minidress by Annie’s Ibiza, a luxury British brand.
Reflecting on the day, Edwards said: “Alex isn’t a crier – he doesn’t get emotional that often. But when he turned around at the altar and saw me for the first time, we both just cried our eyes out.
“I thought: I’ll never forget this moment right here. It was beautiful. I’ve never experienced a room so full of love.”
