Love, family, and a touch of vintage glamour: Alana Hadid's wedding was a celebration of it all!
It's a testament to the strong bond of the Hadid sisters that they always show up for each other, whether it's on the runway or, in this case, the wedding aisle. Alana Hadid, sister to supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, recently tied the knot with Ross Williams in a beautiful ceremony held in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 18th. The event was a true family affair, with siblings Anwar and Marielle Hadid, along with parents Mohamed Hadid and Mary Butler, all in attendance.
Alana, at 42 years old, radiated elegance in a stunning vintage white Vivienne Westwood gown. She completed her look with exquisite jewelry from Dorsey and a custom gold wedding band designed by Sofia Kaman.
Meanwhile, Gigi and Bella opted for chic springtime earth tones, both choosing elegant green dresses. Bella, 29, looked radiant in a halter dress featuring a tiered, ruffled skirt, while Gigi, 30, chose a long-sleeved wrap number.
The emotion of the day was palpable, especially for Gigi, who was spotted wiping away tears of joy during the ceremony.
"It was all love," Alana reflected in an Instagram post on Tuesday, October 21st. Gigi echoed the sentiment in the comments, adding, "Op, well I'm crying again!"
The wedding took place at Mohamed Hadid's LA residence, a location that held special meaning for the couple. "We wanted to do it somewhere that meant something to us, so my dad's house was a natural thought," Alana shared in an interview with Vogue, published on October 21st.
"I'm so honored that so many people made the effort to come from all over the world, from Tunisia, Kuwait, from Paris, Hawaii — people who are important to us now, but also important to our marriage going forward," she continued. "I feel like we were surrounded by love the whole time."
But who is Alana Hadid, the newest bride in the spotlight?
