Riccardo Tisci Bridal Gown: Jessica Chastain’s Timeless Wedding Style
Wearing a white strapless gown by Riccardo Tisci, Jessica Chastain accessorized with simple earrings and a classic long veil. The wedding was attended by Adam Shulman, Edgar Ramirez, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt.
Appearing on Live with Kelly and Ryan in December 2017, Jessica Chastain talked about getting married in Italy and how she met her count husband.
Chastain revealed that she and Gian Luca first met in Paris—a milestone day that also coincided with her very first Oscar nomination.
“It was the beginning of my career and the day I met my future husband,” she reflected. For their honeymoon, the couple chose an African safari, traveling through Johannesburg, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
Even before saying “I do,” Jessica and Gian Luca were already a fixture on the international red-carpet circuit, turning heads with her sophisticated gowns and statement heels.

Jessica leaned into a gothic-tinged glamour at TIFF 2015, slipping into a midnight-blue velvet Givenchy Fall 2015 gown paired with matching Matilda sandals.
Designed under Riccardo Tisci’s creative direction, the Matilda quickly became a red-carpet favorite thanks to its sleek ankle-strap silhouette, towering 4.5-inch stiletto heel, and luxurious fabrications ranging from smooth leather to lizard-effect finishes.
A subtle gold-toned heel detail and buckle fastening added modern polish to the otherwise timeless design, crafted in Italy with couture precision.

Chastain’s version in velvet was both dramatic and refined, amplified by her deep berry lips, side-swept hair, and burgundy manicure.

We’ve seen “Matilda” in black on several celebrities, including Cate Blanchett, Irina Shayk, Selena Gomez, and Kim Kardashian. We love that Jessica matched the sandals to her dress.
