Lela Rose started her namesake ready-to-wear brand in 1998. Since then, she's dressed a wide range of clients, from the regal Kate Middleton to the glamorous Chrissy Teigen. (Other famous fans include Michelle Obama, Anne Hathaway, and Zoe Saldana—talk about serious star power). Her success helped her launch a second bridal line, which sells wedding dresses (and pantsuits and more) that are just as sophisticated as her other offerings.
Rose studied sculpting before transitioning to fashion, which may be the most telling detail about the American designer's signature aesthetic. Her collections are known for their fresh elegance, thanks to their clean lines, structured silhouettes, and artful details. And though they're all definitively modern, you'll also notice some vintage-inspired flair. Other staples of Rose's garments include floral accents and textured, patterned fabrics.
Year after year, Rose impresses brides with her signature move: sprucing up simple styles with unexpected, statement touches. In the past, those have included everything from big bows to visible buttons. At the Fall 2019 Bridal Fashion Week, she stuck with that same tradition. For example, she presented a classic strapless lace wedding dress, but upgraded it with thoughtful use of color. On another gown, a statement bow also served as a would-be train. Together, they make for a refined and contemporary assortment.
Overall, Rose's latest designs stay true to her past, while also offering brides some new looks to love. To see each of her 11 new styles, consult our complete look book. We have photos of every single garment from her Fall 2019 bridal collection.
