The Lily wedding dress, which Sarah Jessica Parker wore in the 'Sex and the City' movie, has become a rage in Hollywood.
Designed by Vivienne Westwood, the dress is wooing Hollywood’’s most glamorous with its ultra-slimming shape.
And the secret behind the popularity of the creation is―a structured corset topped with an exaggerated sweetheart bust.
“The top is her signature detail, but the silhouettes can be quite different; there’’s a flute dress or a frilly ”50s-inspired A-line,” the New York Daily News quoted a Westwood rep as saying.
The original Lily came to fame after style icon Sarah wore a wedding-gown version in 2008′’s 'Sex and the City' movie.
Immediately after the film's release, the shorter, nonbridal Lily – which goes for 9,875 dollars- sold out worldwide.
And thus, Westwood continued to create new versions.
And recently, in her spring 2010 line, she featured a fitted, slate-gray -version that was sported by Emma Thompson at a movie premiere in London last month.
Oscar winner Sandra Bullock rocked a shimmery champagne version of the dress to the People’’s Choice Awards and instantly earned rave reviews.
Songstress Leona Lewis went edgy with a patent-leather mini-version of the dress at the American Music Awards.
Even budget-friendly retailers, like Topshop and Forever 21, are stocking the sweetheart-corset trend.
“The top [of the Lily] is the common feature which is flattering for all silhouettes,” added the Westwood rep.
