Congratulations are in order for Finneas and Claudia Sulewski! The couple married on Saturday, August 29th, in Montecito, surrounded by family and friends. Just under two weeks before, Vogue followed along as the actor and beauty founder bride headed to the Oscar de la Renta boutique in Beverly Hills for the final fitting of her four wedding weekend looks, all custom-made by the legendary American fashion house. \u201cI\u2019m so excited,\u201d Claudia says, inviting us through the door. \u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n

The morning began with Claudia greeting her mom, Beata Sulewska, and her now-mother-in-law, Maggie Baird, and outlining the run of show: trying on her rehearsal dinner dress, ceremony dress, first dance and reception dress, and the after-party dress. The one she\u2019s most excited about? The main ceremony dress, of course. \u201cEvery fitting thus far has sort of been an alteration, so I\u2019m really excited to try on the final version,\u201d Claudia adds.<\/p>\n

And so it begins: first with the rehearsal dinner dress, which draws coos and gasps from two of Claudia\u2019s other friends who are also by her side for the day, musicians Rebecca Black and Dru MacDonald. A bias-cut gown crafted from a liquid crepe back satin, with a bias neckline draping that extends down to the lower back; as Claudia turns to reveal it, both friends exclaim \u201cOh my God!\u201d in unison, before reminiscing on Claudia and Finneas\u2019s first date. (It turns out both Rebecca and Dru bore witness to that fateful meeting, and thus the beginning of the couple\u2019s eight-year love story.) \u201cYou literally look like a sculpture,\u201d Dru adds, as Oscar de la Renta\u2019s senior designer Grace McCoy makes her final adjustments.<\/p>\n

Next comes the ceremony dress, which draws quiet gasps from Claudia\u2019s onlookers \u2013 and then a spontaneous round of applause. \u201cGuys, you\u2019re going to make me cry-stop!\u201d Claudia laughs, as Maggie adds: \u201cWow. That is so pretty!\u201d The ivory silk faille ballgown features a drop-waist bodice and a structured, pleated skirt, all finished with an asymmetric, draped, and pleated scarf neckpiece that streams down the entire length of the train.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were putting it on, and I was saying, there\u2019s something about this dress that just demands a moment of silence,\u201d Claudia notes, sharing that she was inspired to go for the style after scouring the Oscar de la Renta archives and finding herself gravitating to some of the more dramatic, \u201cprincess-like\u201d silhouettes from collections past.<\/p>\n

Given the gravity of the moment, it was only natural that Maggie dial in a special guest to get a first glimpse: Claudia\u2019s friend and now-sister-in-law, Billie Eilish. \u201cMy God, I can\u2019t believe it,\u201d Billie exclaims over FaceTime. \u201cYou look like an angel. Sorry to be interrupting. Love you so much!\u201d Claudia then also encourages her stylist, Thomas Kikis -\u201che\u2019s been a part of every step of this journey,\u201d the bride says \u2013 to come out and say hello to the cameras. As per Thomas: \u201cI\u2019ve been in the back crying this whole time!\u201d<\/p>\n

They also take a moment to try on the veil, a length of tulle designed to extend from under her bun. And then, to showcase the most important detail of all: pockets! \u201cShe\u2019s a modern bride,\u201d Claudia says with a beaming smile, taking another turn around the atelier.<\/p>\n

Next up is the party-starting reception dress: a structured cady gown with a sculptural peplum made from upcycled feathers, a detail that was especially significant to Claudia. (Her brand, Cyklar, is vegan and cruelty-free.) \u201cIt feels so grown up in this sexy wifey way, but it\u2019s so celebratory \u2013 so I\u2019ll be dancing in this,\u201d Claudia says, noting that she\u2019d already done a dance test in the dress.<\/p>\n

Grace also highlights the crystal beaded accents scattered among the feathers: perfect for catching the dance floor lights for an added touch of disco ball shimmer. \u201cFinneas hasn\u2019t seen any of these dresses, but since we\u2019re doing our first dance in this dress, I\u2019ve had to be very vague about certain limitations \u2013 the ways in which he can lift me, for example,\u201d Claudia says. \u201cWe want to keep it intact, so I\u2019ve just been like: there\u2019s an obstacle!\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s time to reveal the after-party dress \u2013 and for that, Claudia looked to a very specific chapter of Oscar de la Renta\u2019s history. Namely, a series of playful, party-ready looks from the early 2000s originally worn down the runway by models like Gisele B\u00fcndchen. \u201cThe boat neck felt so fresh and different to the rest of the looks \u2013 and we made it pink!\u201d Claudia explains. (The top comes paired with a hand-draped dove grey silk faille bubble skirt and matching grey heels.) \u201cI feel like a little cupcake,\u201d Claudia laughs, as Dru interjects: \u201cAnd we\u2019re getting leg!\u201d<\/p>\n

It turns out, however, that there\u2019s one last look to be revealed and it isn\u2019t for Claudia. Instead, it\u2019s a pair of silk faille bows cut from the same fabric as her ceremony gown, sized perfectly for her and Finneas\u2019s two rescue dogs, Peaches and Moose. \u201cThey\u2019re going to walk down as flower dogs,\u201d Claudia explains, and Dru adds: \u201cThat\u2019s when the tears will start, for sure.\u201d With all the looks in place and the final adjustments ready to be made, there\u2019s only one thing left to do. As Claudia herself puts it: \u201cLet\u2019s go get married!\u201d<\/p>\n
