Celebrity guests & three dresses: Just every detail we could find about Sofia Richie's VERY fancy wedding.

Sofia Richie has married Elliot Grainge in the celebrity wedding of our dreams.

The 24-year-old, who is the youngest daughter of singer Lionel Richie and fashion designer Diane Alexander, and her music executive fiancé, 30, tied the knot in a fancy ceremony in the South of France.

From custom gowns to the famous attendees, here are all the details you want to know.

A week-long celebration.

The wedding took place at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes on the French Riviera, and yes, it is just as glam as it sounds.

The resort is considered one of the most luxurious resorts in the world, known for its white walls, Michelin-star restaurant and being the location of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's first affair.

If those (white) walls could talk, huh?

In the days leading up to the wedding, Richie documented a lot of the festivities (and her very chic looks) online.

The celebrity attendees.

Sofia was walked down the aisle by her famous father, Lionel Richie, of course. Her sister, Nicole Richie, was also on hand, as was her husband Joel Madden.

Other famous faces in the French venue included Nicole's in-laws, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, and Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum.

Sofia Richie's dress(es).

Richie celebrated her wedding with three custom Chanel dresses, for three different events: the rehearsal dinner, the wedding itself, and the afterparty.

She showed Vogue the dresses during her final fitting, just weeks before the big day.

Her rehearsal dress was a two-tier gown with sheer sleeves, a high neck and beading, which took three months to complete by hand.

Most importantly, the dress she wore for the wedding ceremony was a sleeveless halter-neck gown with sequin detailing that took Chanel seamstresses four months.

"It is such magic," Sofia said. "I really think Elliot is going to love it. He's honestly my biggest cheerleader when it comes to anything I wear."

Sofia said there were two hearts subtly made out of sequins sewn onto the dress, and the interior lining featured their initials 'S' and 'E' stitched in as her 'something blue'.

Lastly, her after party dress — a corseted white mini dress with a floral detail — was inspired by a dress Claudia Schiffer wore for the Chanel runway in 1993.

While trying the dress on, Richie said it fulfilled her "little girl dream".

Who are Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge?

If you've been reading this thinking 'I have no bloody idea who these people are' then honestly, respect. 

Besides being born into a famous family, Richie is a model who has worked with major fashion brands and magazines, including Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, Elle, and Vogue.

She also gained a lot of public interest throughout her four-month relationship with Justin Bieber in 2016, and her three-year relationship with Scott Disick from 2017 to 2020.

She and Grainge knew each other for years before dating, having met as Grainge was a frequent collaborator of Lionel Richie's.

The couple went 'public' with their relationship with an April 2021 Instagram post, and one year later, in April 2022, she announced their engagement.

The day before the wedding, Richie uploaded her first-ever TikTok, debuting her new, extended name: Sofia Richie Grainge.
