Charli XCX is officially a married woman, and she did it with style, sass, and a sprinkle of silver-plattered cigarettes. The “Brat” pop provocateur tied the knot with The 1975 drummer George Daniel on Saturday, July 19, in a low-key yet effortlessly cool ceremony at Hackney Town Hall in London.
A Wedding as Stylish as the Bride Herself
The nuptials were an intimate affair, with just close family and friends in attendance, including Daniel’s bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann. Notably missing was frontman Matty Healy, who was attending the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring his fiancée (and Charli’s “360” video muse) Gabbriette Bechtel.
Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, wore a draped ivory satin Vivienne Westwood mini dress paired with Jimmy Choo slingback heels and a fingertip veil. Naturally, she accessorized with her signature oversized black sunglasses for a fashion-forward edge. Daniel kept things sleek in a classic suit, letting his bride steal the show.
TikToks, Teacups, and a Touch of Brat
The bride wasted no time in turning her big day into viral content. Charli posted a TikTok the day after the wedding, showing off her gown to the sound of her own song “Girl, So Confusing.” The caption? “When George isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle.” (Spoiler: he did cry. Lucky him.)
Later, she posted another clip from the after-party, revealing a second look, a Saint Laurent white baby doll dress with long sleeves, as she danced with her friends to Far East Movement’s club banger “Like a G6.” George, ever the supportive husband, joined in on the fun, playfully wearing her veil and smoking a cigarette shirtless in front of a fan. Very on brand.
Pasta, Champagne, and Cigarettes, Brat Style
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and guests headed to the nearby Italian hotspot Dalla for a family-style meal complete with pasta, bubbly, and paparazzi-worthy street style. According to The Sun, they skipped the limos and walked down Hackney High Street instead, with pedestrians doing double takes.
And yes, they did follow through with their now-iconic wedding plan: silver trays filled with skinny cigarettes for guests. The idea, originally revealed on the Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain podcast, added an extra layer of brat-chic flair to the evening. Instagram Stories from DJ Alex Chapman confirmed the luxurious detail.
A Romance Spun From Music
Charli and George first met in 2021 while collaborating on the song “Spinning.” Their creative chemistry soon turned into a real-life relationship. By November 2023, Charli announced their engagement with a cheeky Instagram caption:
“charli xcx and george daniel f—ing for life!!!”
With the wedding behind them, the couple seems poised to ride the high of Brat summer well into a bratty honeymoon season. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. XCX, we wouldn’t expect anything less than maximalist minimalism from pop’s most chaotic-cool bride.
