Frankie Bridge turned heads at the UK premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in a stunning floor-length white maxi dress from Karen Millen, proving that a designer-inspired wedding look doesn't have to break the bank. The dress, priced at just under £150 after discounts, offers an elegant alternative to traditional bridal gowns that often cost thousands.
A Budget-Friendly Bridal Option
When planning a wedding, the dress can be one of the largest expenses. However, high street brands have stepped up their game, offering beautiful, designer-looking dresses at a fraction of the cost. Frankie's choice, the Soft Tailored One Shoulder Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress, is a prime example. Originally priced at £259, it is currently on sale with 30% off, bringing it to £181.30. By using the code KMEXTRA20, shoppers can enjoy an additional 20% off, reducing the price to just £145.04 — a saving of over £100.
Design Details
The dress features a floor-skimming maxi length with a side split for ease of movement, preventing it from feeling too stiff. Its tailored silhouette includes subtle gathering at the waist for a flattering fit that accentuates the waistline. The standout feature is the neckline: a high, one-shoulder design with a cape sleeve that drapes over one arm and extends to the floor, creating a flowing train effect. Available in sizes 6 to 14, the white version is ideal for brides on a budget, while a forest green option is also available.
Other Affordable Bridal Alternatives
The high street has expanded its bridal offerings in recent years. ASOS offers the Square Neck Structured Full Skirt Midi Wedding Dress for £185, featuring a timeless design. Nobody's Child has the Bridal Ivory Satin Open Back Long Sleeve Isadora Maxi Dress, now reduced from £250 to £200. Coast shoppers can find the Honoured Premium Crepe Plunge Neck Fishtail Wedding Dress on sale for £134.10, down from £149.
Frankie Bridge's red carpet appearance serves as a reminder that you don't need to spend a fortune to look like a million dollars on your wedding day.
