Here comes the bride… in Chanel!
Describing the looks to the publication, she explained, “I always had this vision of the big princess dress, and going big, but as I got older, I realized that I wanted something a bit more simple. Maybe ‘simple’ isn’t the right word because my dressdefinitelyis not simple!”
In the video posted toVogue Magazine’s Instagram page, the model changed into her first bridal look for the rehearsal dinner: a high-necked, long-sleeved beaded dress with beaded frills in the midsection and bottom of the dress.
“I’m scared to move because I don’t want to ruin one bead,” Richie said in the clip. “This is like a fairy tale. It really is. It’s like an art piece. I feel like a princess, I really do!”
She then changed into her wedding dress for the ceremony, which featured a criss-cross neckline with several white sequins and beads sewn into the fabric in classic leaf designs. The dress also has an important detail: an “S&E” with the date underneath (to signify Richie’s something blue for her wedding).
“It is such magic,” Richie said, describing the dress which also featured a “heart design” in the middle of her chest. “I honestly think Elliot is going to love it. He is my biggest cheerleader when it comes to anything I wear. If he doesn’t cry, I’ll be very sad.”
Richie finally previewed her short, simple and structured after-party dress with the iconic Chanel camellia in the center of her chest, which she planned to wear for the wedding after-party.
“I can dance, [and] I can move,” Richie added, noting that the wedding after-party will be similar to a nightclub with music and strobe lights and that she planned to eat “pizza and fries in this dress.”
In the last few days leading up to the wedding, the influencer and Nudestix beauty director has been sharing glimpses at the preparations for her forthcoming nuptials to the music executive.
On Thursday, the 24-year-old uploaded herfirst-ever TikTok videoto her new account and tacked on her soon-to-be husband’s last name to her username, @sofiarichiegrainge.
However, Richie’s cheeky nod to her love wasn’t mentioned in the stylish get-ready-with-me video, which shows the star picking out an outfit for a dinner event in the South of France.
At the end ofthe clip, she’s seen twirling around in a halter-neck bodycon dress with a blue chevron pattern, gold earrings and white shoes, and holding a fuchsia purse, before giving the camera a kiss.
Richie has already racked up thousands of followers on her account as of writing. Many of her followers complimented the outfit, showed excitement for the account and wished her well on her ceremony in the comment section of the video.

Earlier this week, Richie teased that thebig day is inching closer, sharing an aerial photo of an island captioned with the words, “Here we go,” and wedding-related emojis to Instagram.
And just one day before going public with her TikTok account, she shared a series of photos of her channeling bridal style.
Her choice of accessories were a ribbon-adorned Chanel handbag, round sunglasses and a scarf tied around her braided ponytail.
“La rêverie ♡,” Richie captioned the post, which translates in English to “daydreaming.”
