The Twilight Dress

Carolina Herrera was chosen by Twilight author, Stephenie Meyer, to design Bella's gown.
Herrera is known for her feminine classic wedding gowns and designed Renee Zellweger and Mad Men's Christina Hendricks' gowns.
 

In the initial fitting when Kristen put the dress on and looked in the mirror, she was very moved," said Carolina Herrera.

For months all we saw was the delicate hair piece and the bridal party, but never Bella's gown. Here you can see the beautiful back, ornate yet delicate.
 

"It is always a unique process to design a wedding because every bride is different; the dress always has to be special because it is the most important day in the life of a woman. I tried doing that with this dress, but this one of course is totally different because at the end it's a film - a cultural phenomenon. Millions of people are going to watch and it had to be precise," explained Herrera.
 

The Twilight gown - a handmade demure, floor-length style with a Bardot neckline and short train - is available to buy from Herrera boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, Bal Harbour and Dallas from January 2012
