When it comes to picking out a wedding dress, it helps to have a designer in the family.

That’s what Jennifer Lawrence discovered when she chose a diaphanous blush chiffon gown, complete with a pleated v-neck bodice and softly ballooning sleeves, for her engagement party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Sunday 14 May.

The dress, by bridal brand L.Wells, is called the ‘Juliana’ and is currently available for pre-order on the brand’s website. (Price? $2,300, or £1,200). And it was designed by Lauren Wells, Lawrence’s fashion designer cousin, who has previously worked for brands including Vera Wang and Candela.
