The wedding bells have rung, and Sofia Richie has married!
The 24-year-old model and Lionel Richie’s youngest daughter married fiancé Elliot Grainge, a British record executive, in a lavish wedding ceremony Saturday at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, according to multiple reports. According to Vogue, she went to the Chanel haute couture salons in Paris with her mother-in-law, Lady Caroline Grainge, and best friend, Ali Meller, for her final dress fitting a few weeks before the wedding.
Sofia’s wedding gown was described as “a unique bridal silhouette with a criss-cross neckline inspired by a look from Chanel’s fall 2023 collection.”
And, get this, her “something blue” included a “S&E” with the date sewn into the inside of the dress. “I am so excited,” Sofia told the outlet. [It’s] because I’m getting married to Elliot, which sounds corny, but he’s the man of my dreams.”
Sofia began the big day by hosting an intimate brunch with her closest friends. She was seen looking stunning in a white gown on Friday.
