Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In a “tiny and intimate” ceremony with fewer than 20 guests, Ariana Grande married her real estate agent boyfriend, Dalton Gomez, in mid-May at her home in California.
The world may have learned of the wedding a week ago, but the 27-year-old held off sharing pictures of the day until now. And wow!
The insight into the decorations – rows of church candles and shimmering, floral streamers – will provide inspiration for many affianced couples. But it was Grande’s outfit that really stole the show and proved that with less formal ceremonies, relaxed bridalwear really works.
Walking down the aisle in Vera Wang haute couture – a white, silk charmeuse, empire-waist column gown – she channelled bridal muse Audrey Hepburn, with stylist Mimi Cuttrell accessorising the strapless dress with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels.
As you’d expect from the singer-songwriter, she wore her hair in her signature sky-high ponytail, and, owing to the low-key nature of the ceremony, Grande did away with the traditions of a floor-sweeping veil and instead opted for a laid-back, custom shoulder-length bubble veil with a satin bow.

While she’s provided outfit inspiration for brides opting for a more intimate civil ceremony, owing to the fact the look was designed by none other than Vera Wang, it’s not particularly attainable. But, thankfully, we’ve tracked down a very similar (almost identical) veil design from high street brand Nasty Gal, which you can shop now. Thank you, next.
You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.
Nasty Gal bridal satin bow hair and veil: £9, Nastygal.com
If Ariana Grande’s outfit for her small intimate ceremony has inspired your low-key wedding look, you’ll be glad to hear we’ve found a high street dupe of the custom veil she wore on her big day.
Similarly to the singer’s veil, the Nasty Gal dupe is a tulle design and features a satin bow at the top. If you want to recreate the look entirely, copy her signature sky-high ponytail and you’ll be well on your way to nailing the look. It’s safe to say we’re obsessed.
