Well, it happened. Charli XCX, mother of the club rats, high priestess of eyeliner and afterparty angst, officially tied the knot this weekend. And in a plot twist no one saw coming (least of all the Marlboro menthols in her handbag), she did it in a white Vivienne Westwood mini dress. That’s right—Charli momentarily put down the lighter, tucked in the sheer crop top, and married longtime boyfriend and drummer George Daniel like an actual grown-up. Kind of.

The wedding went down in East London, because of course it did, with Charli emerging from Hackney Town Hall looking less like the girl who just bodied a set at Glasto and more like a couture dream with attitude. Her look? A classic Westwood Nova Cora mini—corseted, off-the-shoulder, and serving just enough bridal energy to make you whisper “Wait, is this a rom-com now?” She paired it with a veil (simple, chic), white Jimmy Choo Amita heels, and—because she’s still Charli—her signature alien-shield sunglasses that say, “I may be legally bound to one man now, but I’ll still ghost you if I feel like it.”

And sure, some fans were expecting something a little… messier? More sheer? Maybe a little Dilara chaos or some cyber fairy dystopia layers? But let’s be real: the fact that she wore anything that didn’t resemble a fishnet grocery bag is kind of revolutionary. Growth, but make it hot.

Let’s not forget: this is the same woman who released a bratty, brilliant, and beat-heavy album in 2024 that basically told us all to stop pretending we’re chill. If brat is about existing fully in your contradictions, about being soft and chaotic, polished and unhinged, in love but still on edge—then what better way to seal the deal than a mini dress, a man who gets it, and a pair of shades so serious they belong in a museum?

So no, Charli didn’t abandon the brat uniform—she just edited it. For a day. For love.

Everything really is romantic.
