This weeks Most Wanted Wednesday is Fleur Delacour/Weasly's wedding dress from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. This dress is just visually stunning and quite different from any other wedding dress I've come across.
It's an elaborate layered white tulle dress with a over-lied lace motif in a gorgeous dual phoenix design that starts at the bust and carries on around the dress, what makes it so different and enchanting is the use of black lace on the white background in such a unique motif.
Although after researching more into this dress created by costume designer Jany Temime it seems like the design was blatantly copied from an Alexander McQueen dress from his Autumn/Winter 2008 collection.. at first I did think it was an altered McQueen dress but I'm really surprised she has been allowed to copy to such detail. McQueen's team failed to comment, maybe they are Harry Potter fans and felt maybe flattered.
Plagiarism issues aside, this dress is absolutely gorgeous and fit the character, the theme, the film perfectly.. the phoenix bird is a symbol of love in a way because there is rebirth, love never dies.. it is born again.
