For her big day, Richie sported three fashionable looks from Chanel. During the interview, the newly-minted Mrs. Grainge explained how the collaboration with the fashion powerhouse came to fruition. Chanel had been my favorite designer forever, Richie notes. So, someone said, Why dont you do Chanel? And I was like, Oh, I wish it was that easy. And then, we said, Well, why dont we ask? So, we reached out, and they were kind enough and open enough to do one dress, the wedding dress, and then, that kind of segued into, OK, how am I going to ever find another designer for my rehearsal dinner that could balance out Chanel? So, I went back to them, and I was like, Feel free to say no, but would you mind doing another? They were so sweet. They did a couple more pieces.

Richie ended up wearing a a long-sleeved beaded dress with a high neck and fringe detailing for the rehearsal dinner, which took place at a private estate on April 21, 2023. This is like a fairy tale, she said about the dress. It really is. Its like an art piece. I feel like a princess. I really do! For the main outfit of the day, the bride walked down the aisle in a beaded ensemble with a high neckline that exhibited scalloped detailing. It is such magic, she expressed before her big day. I honestly think Elliot is going to love it. Richie incorporated sentimental details into the gown, including a monogrammed S&E on the inside of the gown and two hidden hearts to symbolize their union.

For her third and final look of the night, Richie changed into a mini dress with a 3D floral accent in the middle of the gown for the after-party. This, to me, is like my little girl dream, Richie gushed. And the fact that it is inspired [by] Claudia Schiffers runway dress is iconic and dope. I can dance. I can move. I love it! Its traditional Chanel.

But they were so open to hearing my thoughts and suggestions, and they were so lovely to work with, and I adore everyone that I got to know along the process, she said. Its something Ill never forget.

The models wedding also became the object of the publics fascination because Richie shared many behind-the-scenes details with her followers on social media, such as doing her makeup for her rehearsal dinner and uploading footage of her wedding video.
