Gabbriette Bechtel has given fans the first full look at her gothic wedding dress after marrying The 1975 frontman Matty Healy over the weekend in Los Angeles. The avant-garde gown, designed by fashion label Matières Fécales, features multiple ruffles along the train, a sweetheart neckline, a sculpted bodice, long ruffled sleeves, and intricate embroidery. The cut-out train gives the impression the dress has been shredded at the floor, leaving fans divided over its unusual features.
Wedding Details and Guest List
The wedding was attended by Healy's mother, Loose Women star Denise Welch, and pop superstar Charli XCX, along with various influencers and social media stars. In new photos, Healy is seen dipping his wife back for a kiss. Welch had earlier expressed her excitement about the July wedding, calling Bechtel "everything I would want in a daughter-in-law."
Fan Reactions and Comparisons
Some fans compared the dress to the look of The Corpse Bride from Tim Burton's dark animated film, while others said the gothic design mixed with old Hollywood glamour suited the model perfectly. The dress has sparked widespread discussion on social media.
Engagement and Background
Matty Healy, 37, and Gabbriette Bechtel, 28, got engaged in 2024 after first being seen together in September 2023. Bechtel showed off a black engagement ring with a jet black diamond, writing on Instagram: "Marrying the 1975 is very Brat." Denise Welch has been vocal in her support, saying: "I love my future daughter in love, I love Gabbriette very, very much, she's amazing and we're so happy for them on the engagement."
Denise Welch on Previous Celebrity Wedding
Welch also attended Charli XCX's wedding last year, when the singer married Healy's bandmate George Daniel. She described the event as "the most wonderful time and completely unpretentious," adding that it was "testament to Charli and George just how lovely and relaxed it was."
