Nicky Hilton married James Rothschild in London’s Kensington Palace Gardens wearing a custom Valentino Couture wedding gown complete with an ethereal veil. The demure high-necked dress—an iconic silhouette of the Italian house—was reminiscent of the timeless wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly. It also earns a place alongside the gowns of a multitude of style stars who have recently opted for long-sleeved dresses on their big day. Whether they are sheer, lace-embellished or voluminous, these are our favorite iterations of the bridal trend that is clearly enjoying a modern-day resurgence.
