As a character who was looked down upon by the old rich of Asia, Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) channeled her inner Cinderella by wearing a blue ruffled Marchesa ballgown upon arriving at the Asian “royal” wedding of Colin Khoo and Araminta Lee. Choosing the color blue for her dress was actually a critical choice for it actually symbolized calm and grace while being pressured of her worth and integrity as a person.
- Araminta Lee in Carven Ong
Araminta (Sonoya Mizuno) is a bride like no other. Instead of choosing a classic pristine white wedding gown, she opted for a creation of Carven Ong where a multilayered skirt was attached to the bodice of her jumpsuit. It was made of stretch tulle embellished with thousands of gold Swarovski crystals that went all the way down to her feet. This look even became more memorable by not wearing any shoes while walking down the aisle because she literally just walked on water.
