The French Riviera was one of the most exciting places in the entertainment industry, at least for one evening: numerous international stars had traveled to see how model Sofia Richie and music producer Elliot Grainge exchanged vows on Saturday.
The most important role fell to Lionel Richie: the 73-year-old led his daughter down a long flight of stairs in front of the altar. The US magazine “Page Six” shows the special moment. The singer of global hits like “Hello” and “All Night Long” wears a black tuxedo with a bow tie, his 24-year-old daughter is wrapped in a custom-made white Chanel wedding dress.
Nicole Richie, the bride’s adoptive sister, also attended the ceremony. Dressed all in black, she was accompanied by her husband, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden. Also present through Madden was Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz, who is married to Joel’s twin brother, Benji Madden, and is related by marriage to the Richie family.
Other celebrity guests included Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum. The hotel heiress is close friends with Nicole Richie. Years ago, both shot the docu-soap “The Simple Life” together.
Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge have been officially a couple since April 2021, and a year later Grainge proposed to the 24-year-old. The wedding took place according to Jewish ritual. For this purpose, Sofia Richie had converted to Judaism shortly before the wedding, the religion of her current husband.
For this reason, the dress had to be white. In addition, the bride’s face was covered with a transparent veil, as can be seen on the Instagram account Overthemoon. True to one of the father of the bride’s hits, the party that followed was probably one thing above all: All Night Long.
