Few social scenarios will spark a debate more heated than wedding guest etiquette. Should dresses always be floor-length? Are plunging necklines considered inappropriate? And perhaps the single-most asked question: Can you ever wear white?
Every June since 2014, Google searches querying the choice to wear white as a wedding guest increased on average by 46%. The controversial wardrobe decision has spawned countless opinion pieces online — some from disgruntled brides who felt upstaged, others from vanguard attendees defending their decision.
Over the weekend, the conundrum was reignited when singer Lana Del Rey wore a white and pink mini dress to the high-profile nuptials of actor Margaret Qualley and Rey’s music producer Jack Antonoff. On Saturday, Rey arrived at the Long Island Beach wedding (which also saw Zoe Kravitz, Taylor Swift and Cara Delevigne as guests) in a LoveShackFancy white halter-neck dress with a pink floral print and white lace trim. She paired the dress with a white cardigan, a baby blue Prada Re-Edition 2005 Nylon mini bag and blush-toned LemonJelly platform slides.
