Made in Australia, majestic in Monaco: The dress that stole F1’s wedding of the year
The wedding dress that captured the attention of Gen Z at the royal wedding was actually created by an Australian couture house, Paolo Sebastian, located on the southern coast of Australia.
Designed by Paul Vasileff, the gown worn by Alexandra Saint Mleux (now Leclerc) featured French Chantilly lace and intricate hand-embroidery, showcasing Vasileff’s detail-oriented and poetic style.
While traditional fashion capitals like Paris, Milan, New York, and London are well-known, this Australian creation stole the spotlight at the F1 wedding of Ferrari star Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux in Monaco.
The couple’s lavish civil ceremony, which took place just days before the Australian Grand Prix, was marked by the bride’s stunning Paolo Sebastian dress, personalized with the couple’s initials and wedding date embroidered into the fabric.
This moment not only highlighted the talent of the Australian fashion industry but also shattered the belief that timeless style is limited to European fashion houses, reinforcing the growing international recognition of designers like Paul Vasileff and Paolo Sebastian.
