A private Paris wedding, years in the making
A light blue wedding dress in Paris, a cowboy hat at the after-party—this was the day Chloë Grace Moretz and Kate Harrison wanted, and it was theirs alone. The 28-year-old actress and the photographer-model exchanged vows in a quiet ceremony in Paris over Labor Day Weekend, keeping the guest list and specifics close to the chest while making bold, personal choices at every turn.
The relationship started in 2018 and mostly stayed off the radar. Moretz publicly came out as a gay woman in November 2024. On January 1, 2025, the couple shared their engagement on social media, a New Year’s Day post that set the tone for a milestone year. Friends and industry peers had long known them as a steady pair; now they’ve made it official.
Speaking about the dress-making process, Moretz said she went straight to Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière after the proposal. “When we got engaged, I knew immediately that I wanted to reach out to Nicolas and Louis Vuitton to see if he would be interested in making my wedding dress,” she said, adding that his response was enthusiastic. He didn’t just offer one dress—he wanted to design both brides’ looks, including their after-party styles.
Moretz chose a nontraditional palette: a light blue silk gown with a sheer, cathedral-length veil and matching gloves. It had the drama of a classic bridal silhouette but with color that felt fresh, intimate, and very her. Harrison also wore a custom Louis Vuitton design, aligned but not identical—complementary choices that read as a conversation between two people rather than a copy-and-paste pair.
After the vows, the tone turned playful. Moretz described the after-party vibe as “a little bit of ‘Yee-haw, baby!’” She wore a cowboy hat and a custom jacket that showed off her tattoos—an intentional switch from formal couture to something looser and more lived-in. It captured the couple’s approach to the day: personal, unfussy, confident.
Before the wedding, Moretz was clear about what mattered. “I think what I’m most looking forward to about getting married is just being together,” she said. “We’ve been together for almost seven years and making this promise to each other in a new way, and exchanging these vows. I think it’s important to just stay every day choosing each other.” For a couple that has prioritized privacy, the vows were the point—not the spectacle.
Paris fit their plan. It’s a city that knows how to do subtle and grand at once, and it’s home turf for the house of Louis Vuitton. The setting allowed them to celebrate quietly while leaning into fashion and craft. The ceremony stayed intimate, and the look—especially the blue gown—did the talking.
That color choice carries meaning. Brides are increasingly stepping away from pure white, swapping it for pastels or personal shades that feel closer to who they are. Blue nods to tradition—the “something blue” rhyme—without surrendering individuality. It’s a bridge between heritage and a modern, self-defined marriage.
For Louis Vuitton, this wedding sits squarely in the brand’s sweet spot: sculptural lines, layered textures, and a balance of heritage and edge. Designer Nicolas Ghesquière is known for mixing structure with lightness. In bridal form, that means a statement dress that moves and photographs beautifully without swallowing the wearer. The result on both brides looked crafted for the person, not just the occasion.
Harrison’s professional life—splitting time between photography and modeling—made the collaboration with a fashion house natural. She’s used to reading shapes, light, and proportion. Moretz brings a different kind of camera experience, having grown up on sets and red carpets. Together, they’ve learned what works for them under a lens and what doesn’t. Their wedding wardrobe reflected that fluency—aligned styling, personal signatures.
Moretz’s career spans from early breakout roles in Kick-Ass and Let Me In to darker, character-driven turns in Carrie and The Miseducation of Cameron Post. The latter, a coming-of-age drama about a queer teen, always felt like a meaningful choice in her filmography. This weekend’s ceremony adds a personal chapter to a public career she has largely navigated on her own terms.
The couple’s low profile has been deliberate. They’ve kept the relationship away from constant exposure, showing only what they want to show. The Paris ceremony followed the same blueprint. No flashy venue reveal, no social countdowns, no live-streamed vows—just a clear emphasis on the promise and the people present.
Here’s how the timeline unfolded:
- 2018: Moretz and Harrison begin dating.
- November 2024: Moretz publicly comes out as a gay woman.
- January 1, 2025: The couple announces their engagement on social media.
- Labor Day Weekend, Paris: They marry in a private ceremony with custom Louis Vuitton looks.
The after-party wardrobe shift—formal couture to cowboy hat and customized jacket—felt like a message: ceremony and celebration are different chapters of the same day. The first honors the tradition they wanted to embrace. The second shows the life they’ll share: playful, easy, not too precious.
Details like the cathedral-length veil can turn a small ceremony into something that still feels cinematic. The veil frames the bride, adds movement, and gives the photographer a tool for shape and shadow. The gloves, matching the veil and dress, add a vintage note without pushing the look into costumed territory.
Choosing custom designs for both brides also mattered. Styled separately but conceived together, the outfits told a story of partnership rather than symmetry. It’s a small difference that reads loudly in photos and in person. There’s no “bride and plus-one” here—just two women meeting in the middle with clear taste and equal presence.
Behind the scenes, these custom builds are slow work. Fabric selection, fittings, adjustments for movement and comfort—especially for a long day—and then planning for an outfit change that keeps the energy up. The after-party jacket served a double purpose: freedom to move and a visual wink to their own inside jokes and shared tastes.
For fans who have followed Moretz’s career and Harrison’s creative work, the wedding marks a milestone that still aligns with how they’ve always shown up: precise about what’s public, careful with what stays private. A blue dress in Paris, vows shared in a room that didn’t need an audience, and a night that ended with a hat tip to fun—that’s their signature.
