Louis Vuitton has shared the first picture of Sophie Turner’s wedding dress.

The Game of Thrones star, who married Joe Jonas in a private, second wedding in the South of France last weekend, tied the knot in a traditional lace dress by the luxury French fashion house.

On Thursday morning, the label’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere shared a snapshot of Turner's elaborate dress on Instagram alongside the caption: “Absolut beauty.”

His photo, taken of Turner from behind, shows that the dress featured a cut-out back, long lace sleeves, and a full cascading skirt covered in sparkling embellishments.

The 23-year-old also wore a delicate lace-trimmed veil flecked with white floral appliqués to complete her look.

Posting on her Instagram account, Turner shared a shot of the front of the dress with a black-and-white photograph of her walking down the aisle hand-in-hand with her husband Joe Jonas.

In the image, more details of the gown can be seen including its deep-V neckline, structured shoulders and fitted waist.

The actor wore her long blonde hair down in classic waves that were parted in the middle for her nuptials.

Turner, who is a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, had previously hinted at the possibility of wearing a design by the brand at her second wedding.

“I love the way he sees women,” she said of Ghesquiere to Harper's Bazaar UK.

“His clothes are like the characters I gravitate towards: warrior women. They are strong and empowering but also beautifully feminine.”

Turner's choice of traditional wedding dress is a stark contrast to the string of more contemporary bridal looks we have seen from her so far.

The actor wore a white silk jumpsuit by Ukranian label Bevza at her legal wedding in Las Vegas after the Billboard Music Awards in May and a red form-fitting gown to the rehearsal dinner.

The duo arrived in France a week before their ceremony and spent time exploring Paris with their wedding guests, including Priyanka Chopra, Maisie Williams, Nick Jonas, and Kevin Jonas.

The newlyweds first announced their engagement in October 2017.
