Vera Wang and the wedding dress curse: what it is and which celebrities have suffered it

“Jennifer Lopez Kim Kardashian, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande. What do these four women have in common? They are all divorced and on their wedding day they wore a Vera Wang dress.” This is how journalist and TikToker Marta Aranda begins to explain the curse of Vera Wang’s wedding dresses.

There is a theory that has revolutionized social networks in recent hours. As the young woman comments, the rumor that has spread in recent years is that any bride who wears one of the 74-year-old designer’s spectacular designs ends up divorced from her.

The truth is that there is a long list of celebrities who could confirm this curse that even Wang herself has suffered, who created her wedding dress to say “I do” to Arthur Becker and ended up divorced two decades later. As a curiosity, it was this wedding that made the designer take the step of creating her own brand.

Among the famous people who have been victims of this theory that runs through the networks are Jennifer Aniston, who wore one of the designs for her wedding with Brad Pitt; Mariah Carey for her wedding to Tommy Mottola; sisters Kim and Khloé Kardasian for their wedding to Kris Humphries and Lamar Odom, respectively; Avril Lavigne Avril Lavigne to marry Deryck Whibley or Hilary Duff to Mike Comrie.

Another coincidence stars the couple formed by Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Now they are happily married but months after breaking off their first engagement, more than twenty years ago, they married Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner. Guess what, the singer and actress chose Vera Wang for that day.

This curse has also spread in fiction. Charlotte York (Sex and the City) wore Vera Wang to her wedding to Trey MacDougal. A choice that Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl) also made to join Prince Louis, thus fulfilling her dream of being a princess.

But in the TikTok video, the journalist dismantles this theory by remembering that there are celebrities who dressed as Vera Wang at their wedding and are currently still married, such as Victoria Beckham, Hailey Bieber or Vanessa Hudgens.
