While many celebrity brides race to reveal the designer of their wedding dress, Bettina Anderson opted to put that on ice for a few weeks and has just announced Safiyaa was her chosen label.
The socialite and influencer worked closely with the London-based luxury house’s founder Daniela Karnuts in choosing two custom styles for her and Donald Trump Jr.’s nuptials and reception on a private island in the Bahamas over Memorial Day weekend.
The couple had officially wed at her twin sister’s house on May 21 in Palm Beach. Although President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump skipped the festivities, Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany Trump were among the few dozen guests, as well as the bridegroom’s five children from his first marriage.
Anderson’s more low-key reveal could be chalked up to such factors as the union was her husband’s second, as well as the ongoing political unrest and cost-conscious consumers. In addition, Trump’s ex-wife Vanessa had announced her breast cancer diagnosis a few days before the Bahamian bash.
The timing of the news may have come from the Safiyaa team. Readers of Patrick Radden Keefe’s latest nonfiction book “London Falling” about the mysterious death of Zac Brettler in 2019 may recognize Karnuts’ name. Her husband Akbar Shamji’s relationship with Brettler is central to the tome’s storyline. Media requests to Safiyaa seeking comment about “London Falling” were not acknowledged. Whatever the reason for holding off on the big reveal, the 39-year-old, first-time bride showed off her sense of style.
