See Felicity Blunt’s Wedding Gown! 10/02/2012 AT 11:00 AM ET (STYLE WATCH)

Bride Felicity Blunt’s something new was something quite lovely: a custom wedding gown designed by Nanette Lepore.

For her marriage to Stanley Tucci in London on Saturday night (actually the couple’s second round of vows), the literary agent (second from left) wore a simple, sleeveless white dress with lace overlay and a small bow at the waist.

Her flower girls and bridesmaids — including sisters Suzie (left) and Emily and friend Amy Dixon (right) — also wore white Lepore creations, which somewhat mirrored the bridal gown through cut and detail. Lepore (pictured above) is a friend of Tucci’s, and the actor has made appearances at her runway shows before.


Tucci and Blunt celebrated their nuptials over the weekend with a Friday night party at London’s Shoreditch House, a Saturday ceremony at Middle Temple Hall and a reception at L’Anima restaurant.

Celebrity guests in attendance included groomsmen Steve Buscemi and Oliver Platt, plus Emily Blunt’s husband John Krasinski, Meryl Streep, Patricia Clarkson, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth and designer Kenneth Cole.

Damian Lewis: Emmy awards 2012: Damian Lewis hails 'golden age of television' British star of Homeland wins top gong with Claire Danes, while Maggie Smith takes only award for Downton Abbey Share 109 Email Vicky Frost The Guardian, Monday 24 September 2012 13.34 EDT

It was a very British way to collect an Emmy: take to the stage of American TV's landmark award show and say sorry for winning the best actor gong.

"I'm one of those pesky Brits, I apologise," said Damian Lewis, recognised for his portrayal of US marine Nicholas Brody in Homeland, the taut US terrorism thriller that transfixed audiences on both side of the Atlantic, and dominated the Emmys at the expense of Mad Men and Downton Abbey.

"I don't really believe in judging art, but I thought I'd show up just in case. What an extraordinary honour to be in a category with these golden actors setting a golden standard in acting, in a golden age of TV," he said.

Nominated alongside Lewis for best actor were Steve Buscemi, John Hamm and Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville. But while the ITV tale of aristocracy and their servants has proved a US hit – taking four Emmys in 2011, including best miniseries – it largely failed to turn its record 16 nominations into awards after what many felt was a disappointing second series.

It fell to Dame Maggie Smith – adored for her eye-rolling, lip-pursing, eyebrow-raising turn as the dowager countess in the Sunday night drama – to uphold Downton Abbey's reputation with the gong for best supporting actress in a drama series, beating off competition from fellow cast member Joanne Froggatt.

They did. Now they party.

Just two weeks after Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell made it official and swapped vows in London, the couple did their best to put the par-tay back in their wedding party, throwing a second celebration in New York Friday night for all their Yank friends who couldn't make it across the pond for their original ceremony.

And it would appear that most of those friends were of the bold-named variety. Starting with his most famous former frenemy...

Yoko Ono! What's past is past, as they proved when they walked the red carpet together earlier this month. John Lennon's widow was among those pals who came out to the Bowery Hotel to help celebrate the nuptials of the loved-up former Beatle and his new (previously) NYC-based missus.
She was joined by quite an eclectic guest list that was a far cry from the intimate gathering just a few weeks back: her son Sean Lennon, fellow rockers Joe Walsh and Keith Richards, the latter of whom was joined by wife Patti Hansen, Ralph Lauren and wife Ricky, David Lauren and Lauren Lauren Bush, Aida Turturro, Jon Bon Jovi, head Foo Fighter Dave Grohl, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Steve Buscemi and James Taylor.

Also along for the celebration, naturally, was Shevell's second cousin Barbara Walters, who was also present for couple's wedding in London (and who will no doubt take advantage of her RSVP by informing her loyal View watchers of all the goings-on this morning).
The revelers reportedly gathered in one of the hotel's private rooms, where they dined on strictly vegetarian cuisine, of course, and, by most accounts, an unceasing flow of champagne.
McCartney and Shevell themselves, at 69 and 51 years young, respectively, left the party at 1:30 a.m., where they were greeted by a crowd of well-wishers. Congrats
