Steal that style: Borris Becker and Lilly Kerssenberg
German tennis legend Borris Becker has tied the knot with Lilly Kerssenberg at the Segantini Museum in Switzerland. But rather than the full on meringue or a sleek body-hugging number, Lilly bucked the bridal trends opting for the simple white tuxedo suit. With softly curled hair and nude-coloured high heels, it was a simple look for the 30-year-old Dutch beauty. [via Bild]
The white wedding suit was worn to stunning effect by Brazilian beauty Bianca Jagger, who was pictured on her 1971 wedding day to Rolling Stones frontman Mick, wearing a white suit and large floppy hat. Boris, 41, and Lilly, 30, announced their plans to wed on a German chat show earlier this month.
Last week the pair were spotted laden with bags as they left the Parisian bridal boutique Delphine Manivet separately. [via DaillyMail]

Steal that style: Marina Berlusconi
Marina Berlusconi, 42-year-old daughter of the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, married her ballet dancer sweetheart, Maurizio Vanadia, in Rome in december 2008. The pair became close after Marina met him socially and then went to see him in a production of Swan Lake at Milan’s La Scala. This was said to have appealed to her father, who wooed his second wife, the actress Veronica Lario, after watching her perform in a Milan theatre in 1980.
Marina, who since becoming chairman of the family firm Fininvest is listed by Fortune magazine as the eighth most powerful female manager in the world and by Forbes as Italy ‘s most influential woman, said in a recent interview with Chi magazine that on seeing Vanadia dance she behaved more like a schoolgirl. “I was leaning forward so far to see him with the binoculars my mother kept on elbowing me and saying ‘Watch out or you will fall into the stalls’.”
The nride wore D&G.

Steal that style: Helene Segara
Hélène Ségara was born in Six-Four-les-Plages, a small seaside town on the Mediterranean coast, on 26 February 1971. Hélène spent her early childhood living with her Italian father, an office clerk who worked at the Seyne-sur-Mer shipyard, and her Armenian-born mother, who worked in the local tax office. When her parents divorced in 1979 Hélène went to live with her mother, but relations between the two became increasingly strained and the young girl began to spend more and more time with her grandparents.
Hélène had been a passionate music fan from an early age and her childhood dream was to launch a professional singing career. Her grandparents actively encouraged her passion and, at the tender age of 11, Hélène took the first step towards achieving her dream, winning a local song contest with her performance of the Nana Mouskouri classic “L’Amour en heritage”.
