Alexandra Leclerc brings bridal romance to Cannes in blush couture

That choice carried real fashion weight. Leclerc and Charles Leclerc married in a private civil ceremony in Monaco on February 28, then she framed the celebration on Instagram as only “part 1,” with “part 2” still to come with close friends and family. Cannes, with its sweep of photographers and its formal red-carpet rigor at the Palais des Festivals, became the first major public outing for the newlyweds, and Alexandra Leclerc used it to keep the wedding story alive without looking dressed for the aisle a second time.

The gown itself did the work. Coverage described the look as blush-pink couture, a softer shade than white but still firmly in bridal territory, and the strapless column silhouette gave it that clean, body-skimming line brides keep coming back to when they want polish without excess volume. She finished it with diamond jewelry and restrained styling, letting the color and cut carry the mood. Charles Leclerc matched the setting in a classic black tuxedo, the kind of formal counterpoint that made her blush dress read even more deliberately.

For brides, the formula is easy to borrow and hard to overdo: return to the designer who already understands your proportions, choose a silhouette that feels close to the body rather than overloaded with decoration, and let one luminous detail do the talking. Paolo Sebastian, the Adelaide-based Australian couture house, has built its 2026 spring-summer collection around the title Forget Me Not, and Alexandra Leclerc’s Cannes look showed how that kind of designer continuity can move from ceremony to public life without losing its sense of occasion.
