Emma Roberts Wore Black at Wedding to Husband Cody John: Here’s Why

Emma Roberts was in her monochromatic bridal era. 

While the Scream Queens actress wore a slightly off-white wedding gown designed by Monique Lhuillier to marry Cody John at an outdoor ceremony in Idaho on July 25, she wanted something completely different for the nuptials’ after-party. 

Enter Roberts’ second dress of the night: a black, two-piece archival number from Lhuillier’s Fall 2004 collection.

“I love the idea of wearing black for the after-party,” Roberts shared in an interview with Vogue published July 26. “We love doing something that’s a little unexpected.”

The 35-year-old’s after-party dress featured a black corset top in Chantilly lace with a tea-length skirt, hand-cut and made from layered silk organza. 

“This looks like it could be totally vintage from 100 years ago, or from now,” Roberts mused, calling the look “so fun.”

The vintage vibe was also an aspect Roberts wanted to bring to her actual wedding dress.
