In 2019, Zoë rocked a ballerina-inspired tea-length dress for her wedding. The vibe? Straight out of an Audrey Hepburn movie, thanks to buddy Alexander Wang who crafted it over a whole year. Subtle white flats, a cute headband, and stud earrings finished the look.

But social media wasn’t all thumbs up. Some thought the dress made Zoë look way shorter - like "I’m 12 and this is my first communion" short. Ouch! Sadly, Zoë and Karl’s marriage didn’t last long, but the dress sure left a mark!
