Most brides opt for a classic long white or ivory wedding dress during their romantic nuptials, however some celebrities tend to push the fashion boundaries and shock fans with daring looks.
But on Monday Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri hit back at critics who were left ‘scandalised’ by her low-cut wedding dress.
The 39-year-old actress and lifestyle blogger took to Instagram to share several images from her wedding to chef Ian Hock, which took place on Saturday, describing her nuptials as ‘the most special day filled with so much love’.
However, at the same time, the mother-of-three hit out at critics of her bustier-style Kim Kassas wedding gown – taking aim at those who said her breasts should have been ‘put away’.
Sharing a photo of herself and Hock, she wrote, ‘And to anyone scandalized by my breasts not being “put away”…’ before adding a close up shot of her cleavage with the caption, ‘feel free to screenshot this for later’ along with a kiss emoji.

In 2016, Eva’s mother Susan Sarandon faced very similar backlash for baring her cleavage in a low-cut blazer and bra while presenting the in memoriam segment at the SAG Awards
Amurri purchased the corseted design at Bridal Reflections in New York City, and told People of her gown, ‘I wanted to feel sexy but elegant, and I think the dress strikes the perfect balance.’
‘I love how it has a vintage feel and is ultra feminine without being overly pouffy,’ she added. Following the ceremony, she changed into a second look of the night: a minidress, also designed by Kim Kassas, and featuring a feather trim and lace.
Celebrity stylist Rochelle White told FEMAIL: ‘When it comes to wedding dresses some celebrities do it well,’ noting Kourtney Kardashian’s Dolce & Gabbana satin corset mini frock ‘that suited the look she was going for’.
She added: ‘Gwen Stefani also rocked a more rock n roll look when it came to her wedding dress and style. She looked classy but also had her signature rock n roll style.
‘Some looks that weren’t so on trendy or fashion led was the bikini look that Pamela Anderson rocked.’
Here, Rochelle gives her verdict on which daring celeb wedding dresses were successes or fails…
