'Twilight's' Ashley Greene: 'I Loved' My 'Breaking Dawn' Bridesmaids Dress

Ashley GreeneThe actress says the anticipated film nuptials are "magical and beautiful."

Ashley Greene is looking forward to the wedding scene in the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I because it'll give her a chance to show off her bridesmaids dress.

While most of the focus on the nuptials has been on what Kristen Stewart is wearing as Bella -- who will be dressed in Caroline Herrera --  Greene says her outfit is equally exquisite. She told InStyle, "I'm really excited for everyone to see my dress, too. I loved it."

Green says that the dresses worn by Alice, a member of the Cullen clan, and other wedding guests were made with a corsets in them until the cast revolted, "There were corsets in them and we took them out by the end of the movie. We were just like, 'We don't care!

There's dancing and stuff like that so that was the only part that I didn't like because that was so uncomfortable, but once the corset came out I loved it."

Greene added that she had input on her wedding look, "It was a collaboration for the dress. We wanted to have the bridesmaids fit together and also have their own identity. So, we took a little bit of Alice's past and put it into her dress."

Breaking Dawn Part I opens Nov. 18.

Minnillo also wore a pair of diamond stud earrings given to her by Lachey early on in their relationship and had two friends do her "au naturel" hair and makeup.

The new host of ABC's Wipeout told People that it was initially a struggle finding the right dress.

“I probably had half a dozen fittings, and I was just so lost,” she said. “I finally decided to ask Nick and said, ‘What do you want to see me in when you marry me and I become Mrs. Lachey?‘ I thought I would get some generic guys’ answer but he sat up in bed and told me he loved me with my hair down … and wanted me in something traditional but with a modern flair.”

The nuptials were a surprise for the 35 friends and family members in attendance. Minnillo told People that guests were only given airline tickets and instructions on what to pack, "Our wedding invitations were in the form of a plane ticket. We told them they were going away and the attire was 'island chic.' It was all very vague."

Lachey and Minnillo met during the making of his 2006 "What's Left of Me" music video. They became engaged this past November and are planning to have children together. Minnillo told People, "For us, this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want and that's to start a family together."

Dress Like a Showbiz Lawyer

As a Hollywood attorney who has represented everyone from Jennifer Lopez to the Olsen twins, Stein takes a more laid-back approach to business attire. His daily uniform? A slim-fit, sharply tailored suit and open-collar shirt (though, of course, he'll put on a tie if he's going to court). He shops at Santa Monica men's store Sean's for his favorite Parisian designer Emile Lafaurie's collection. But while he sticks to classic navy, black and gray for the suits, he doesn't shy away from color and pattern for his shirts and ties. Says Stein: "It's OK for lawyers to dress casually if you still look nice when you do it."

Kate Moss Wears John Galliano Dress to Wedding

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince

Supermodel Kate Moss married Jamie Hince of The Kills Friday in England's Cotswolds region.

The bride wore a sleeveless dress by longtime friend John Galliano, the former Christian Dior designer who is currently on trial for spouting racist slurs and anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris cafe in late February. The floor-length slim gown had a vintage flavor with gold embellishments throughout, most noticeably near its hemline. (Click here for pictures of the wedding party.)

Hince, who along with Alison Mosshart forms the band The Kills, chose a double-breasted powder blue Yves Saint Laurent suit with fitted trousers. Moss' daughter Lila (whose father is Jefferson Hack) was also part of the wedding party. Moss and Hince met in 2007.

Naomi Campbell, Kelly Osbourne, Sadie Frost, Rhys Ifans and Topshop chief Philip Green were among the guests at the ceremony. The wedding celebration is expected to last several days.

Moss was previously engaged to British singer Pete Doherty and dated Johnny Depp for years in the 1990s.

STORY: John Galliano's Departure Rattles Fashion Industry

Moss has been wearing Galliano and Christian Dior for many years, walked in many Galliano shows -- but in the midst of his dismissal from Dior -- to support him by wearing his design signals both a great loyalty, and an effort to help re-start his fashion career (he still has his own eponymous label).

It seems Moss and a lot of her supermodel friends are going to make a big effort to show how much they love Galliano. Now that he's out of rehab, he might be ready to jump back into the design fray. But first, he has to clear his reputation -- and Kate's wearing his gown is a great way to show that his famous friends are by his side.
