Emmy Rossum Wore a Carolina Herrera Wedding Dress to Marry Sam Esmail

Shameless star Emmy Rossum inadvertently gave Pippa Middleton a run for her money this past weekend — in the wedding dress department, that is. After more than a year-and-a-half engagement, the actress wed director Sam Esmail in an intimate ceremony at a synagogue in New York City this Sunday, People reports. And what, pray tell, did the bride wear? A custom off-the-shoulder gown by Carolina Herrera. The dress also had a sash of embellished beading around the waist, plus a full train and tons of tiny fabric buttons running down the entire length of the gown in back. For the ceremony, Rossum wore a floor-length lace veil.

A few hours ago, the newlywed posted a picture of her nuptials on Instagram with no caption. Sometimes a picture says it all, even on the 'gram.

Vogue published photos of Rossum at her fitting with the designer. "As soon as I got engaged, I immediately knew that I wanted Mrs. Herrera to make my wedding dress," she told the publication. After a consultation about different silhouettes, the two agreed to use the New York City's Guggenheim as a starting point for the outline of the dress. (That's also where the couple's reception was held.) As for what makes Herrera proud about the dress? Well, the décolletage of course. "It suits her because she has a very long neck and very beautiful shoulders — it’s very demure, [she looks] like a real bride," Herrera told Vogue.
