Amy Childs blew up her feed with a bridal-style reveal that had fans zooming on product tags and price points. The TOWIE star shared a photo and clip from Rivers Bridal Boutique in Essex showing her in a white, ruffled wedding-style gown and captioned it, "I'm getting married 💒🥰💁🏼‍♀️," while tagging Oh Polly, her make-up artist and hair stylist, Closer reported on March 3, 2026.

Closer identified the exact design Amy tagged as the Oh Polly Verena dress and flagged it as nearly sold out; the same piece prompted the outlet to round up cheaper copy options including a Hello Molly cream lace maxi and a Shein cream lace over-the-shoulder dress. Fans and industry friends piled into the comments — hairdresser Joel Maguire wrote, "Wow 😍🔥," and MAFS bride Nikita Jasmine posted, "Stunning 🤩," Closer recorded.

The Rivers Boutique outing included TOWIE co-star Chloe Brockett, who joined Amy in the shop clutching a glass of bubbles and captioned her own post, "Just your casual Tuesday," The Sun reported. The Sun’s scene-setting called out a puffed-out skirt and sleeveless lines on Amy's gown, while Daily Mail described the look as a "gorgeous lace wedding gown" — outlets vary on sleeve and texture details, so the exact construction on social still needs a look at the original post or the Oh Polly product page for confirmation.

The dress tease plugs straight into Amy’s on-off wedding timeline. The Sun and other outlets reiterate that Amy is engaged to Billy Delbosq and that the proposal was a family moment: Billy used the newborn twins dressed in matching suits reading "Mummy will you marry my Daddy?" and dropped to one knee during a family photoshoot, The Sun reported. Amy posted earlier at the time of the proposal, "I said YES… Future Mrs Amy Delbosq," The Sun noted.

There’s a deeper backstory: Daily Mail published a detailed account on March 2, 2026, reporting Amy postponed last year’s wedding after her mother Julie suffered a heart attack in May 2025 and later had a stent fitted. Daily Mail quoted Amy telling New! that she and Billy will "get a new date set" and that "it will definitely be next year," adding, "The wedding I want needs to be amazing." OK! also captured Amy on This Morning saying cousin Harry Derbidge rushed her into dress shopping the day after Bill proposed and that she "has not yet got the dress," noting, "No, I haven't got the dress yet. But no, it's all good isn't it?"

Not all outlet details line up. Ages vary widely: The Sun’s copy lists Amy as 33 in one line and 32 in another while putting Billy at 40; Daily Mail lists Amy as 35 and Billy as 42. Timeline claims also conflict — Closer says the engagement was announced in 2023, while The Sun’s language implies a more recent engagement. Those discrepancies mean the firm facts for age and announcement year still need primary confirmation from Amy's own posts or representatives.

What’s indisputable right now: Amy’s social tease sent shoppers straight to Oh Polly — Closer says the Verena is nearly sold out — and it reignited the family-focused wedding narrative that has involved postponed plans after Julie’s May 2025 heart attack. Amy has publicly signalled she and Billy are planning again; she told New! they’ll regroup and pick a new date. For brides and bargain-hunters watching the Verena, the next move is clear: check Amy’s original post and the Oh Polly product page for definitive sleeve, lace and stock details — the internet has already started calling dibs.
