Hailey Bieber, née Baldwin, has revealed her full-length wedding dress on social media – but the bizarre design is polarizing her followers.
The model married Justin Bieber last week, on September 30, in the presence of family and friends at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina.
It was their second wedding: the couple had married last year in a simple courtroom ceremony.
Bieber shared photos of her off-the-shoulder dress with her 22.4 million Instagram followers last night. She thanked OFF-WHITE designer Virgil Abloh for the beaded “dream dress” with the huge train.

But not everyone was enthusiastic about one particular detail – namely the eye-catching slogan “Until death do us part”, which was embroidered across the entire width of the train.
The slogan – and the quotation marks used – are one of the most important “tools” of the designer Abloh.
Abloh told the publication 032c He uses quotes to elevate his designs from fashion to art. “You can use typography and wording to completely change the perception of something without changing anything about it,” he said.
“If I take a man’s sweatshirt and write ‘woman’ on the back, that’s art.”

Quotation marks are also popular in the high-fashion scene: Streetwear with the slogan “OFF-WHITE” is sold online for thousands.
They were even the subject of a lawsuit that OFF-WHITE filed against bracelet manufacturer Rastaclat earlier this year.
The unusual design was praised by Bieber’s Instagram followers with comments such as “This dress is amazing !!!!!!! (sic) So so beautiful” and “This is everything (sic) and more.”
But not everyone on social media was happy with the slogan “Train”: Several people tweeted that the quotation marks had “ruined” the dress.
There was also a debate about the spelling of “till” and the apostrophe before the word.
That Hailey Bieber’s veil with the words “Till death do us part” is cheesy and ruined him, don’t tell me I’m wrong

Why Virgil Abloh made such a stunning wedding dress for Hailey Bieber and then ruined it by putting his signature quote on it with quotation marks 🤔

I’ve realized that when Twitter hates someone, they’ll find a way to hate everything that person does, even if it makes them sound stupid as hell. For example, you can dislike Hailey Baldwin, but still admit that her dress was beautiful and classic (minus the stupid Virgil lettering).

Correct.
The actual word is not spelled “UNTILL.”

No, there is no typo on Hailey Bieber’s wedding dress.
There is no apostrophe before “TILL,” but a quotation mark, and there is a second one at the end of the phrase.
It’s designer Virgil Abloh’s *thing*.
“TILL” is an acceptable abbreviation of “UNTIL”.

The design is comparable to Angelina Jolie’s Atelier Versace wedding dress for her wedding to Brad Pitt in 2014, which was decorated with embroidered versions of her children’s drawings.
