Getty Heiress Rejects Tradition with Mini Wedding Skirt
5 Sep
Summary
- Isabel Getty married Faris McKinnon in a mini skirt and jacket.
- She accessorized with a pillbox hat and blue Manolo Blahnik heels.
- Getty's style echoes 1960s icons like Audrey Hepburn and Talitha Getty.
Heiress Isabel Getty recently wed Faris McKinnon, opting for a modern bridal ensemble that defied tradition. She chose a sophisticated mini skirt and a coordinating jacket for the ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall.
Getty's outfit was accessorized with a classic pillbox hat and vibrant cobalt blue Manolo Blahnik heels, a clear nod to her 'something blue'. Her new husband, McKinnon, wore a distinguished double-breasted suit. Their young son also attended the intimate celebration.
This bold sartorial choice places Getty among a lineage of fashion-forward brides. The trend of abbreviated hemlines for nuptials gained prominence in the 1960s, championed by figures like Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow, and Yoko Ono.
More recently, celebrities such as Kristen Stewart and Lily Allen have embraced the short wedding dress. Getty's own great-aunt, model Talitha Getty, also famously wore a mini skirt and matching coat for her wedding, a look that has inspired subsequent generations.
Isabel Getty, daughter of Christopher Getty and granddaughter of J. Paul Getty, comes from a family renowned for its style. Her cousin, Ivy Getty, previously wore a striking John Galliano gown. Getty herself has experience as a model, having worked with designers like Dolce & Gabbana.
