The 30-year-old model, who became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2015, wore a custom Zuhair Murad gown to say “I do”.

“I wanted him to make my dress from the moment I walked in his first couture show,” Tookes told Vogue.

As Tookes shared on her Instagram story, she drew inspiration for her wedding dress look from Grace Kelly.

Kelly married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, forgoing her Hollywood career and fortune.

Her wedding dress was designed by Helen Rose. The bodice had long sleeves and a high neckline that were all covered in delicate lace. The lace bodice flowed into a simple skirt with a dramatic train.

The dress, which had 368 metres (400 yards) of ivory faille and silk net, cost US$65,200 at the time, which would be over US$620,000 today.
