Nguyen announced her engagement on social media on Wednesday. A day earlier, Elle Italia published several images from the couple’s photo shoot in British capital London.

The photos were taken inside an opulent historic mansion, where she changed into three couture looks.

1. High-slit gown by Pallas Couture

Holding hands with her fiancé, Nguyen wears a strapless gown with a dramatic high slit that highlights her tanned skin and long legs. The brocade design, adorned with pearl accents on the bodice, is from Pallas Couture Privée, a globally renowned luxury bridal label.

Founded in Sydney in 2001 by designers Joy Morris and Phillip Boon, Pallas Couture blends classic haute couture principles with precise tailoring, incorporating hand-sewn French lace and crystal embellishments.

Alongside bespoke couture pieces, the house also offers Pallas Couture Privée, which maintains couture quality while being more wearable and comparatively accessible. Each gown is handcrafted with signature details such as corseted bodices and intricate beadwork.

Custom Pallas Couture gowns cost upwards of US$23,000, while the Privée line starts from $5,500.

2. Figure-hugging lace gown by Berta

For street-style shots, Nguyen wore a fitted lace gown. With retro-inspired lines and pearl embellishments, the Berta dress exuded vintage glamor. She elevated the look with sunglasses and metallic Chanel earrings.

Berta, a global bridal house, rose to prminence rapidly after entering the international market in 2013 and now has over three million Instagram followers. Known for bold, sensual and modern silhouettes that fuse classic textures with retro influence, the brand’s collections regularly appear in publications like Elle and Vogue.

Its gowns typically cost US$10,000-15,000.

Nguyen posed in the same mansion’s grand interiors wearing a dramatic floral gown by Nicole + Felicia Couture. She paired the strapless dress with black gloves and a sweeping cathedral-length veil, lending a regal aesthetic.

The gown features hundreds of hand-crafted floral appliqués.

Founded in 2015 by Taiwanese sisters Nicole and Felicia Chang, Nicole + Felicia Couture aims to redefine modern bridal couture through contemporary silhouettes and impeccable tailoring. Their designs are known for intricate beadwork, premium lace, and luxurious silk fabrics.

Their gowns range from $4,000 to $20,000.

The brand has rapidly earned a global following among affluent and high-profile clients. Its glamorous designs have appeared on red carpets and been worn by Hollywood celebrities including Kate Beckinsale, Priyanka Chopra, Chrissy Teigen, and Ana de Armas.

Taylor Swift wore three custom Nicole + Felicia gowns during her Eras Tour, while Jennifer Lopez chose a standout pink gown and cape from the label for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

Nguyen’s father Jonathan Hanh Nguyen is the founder and chairman of IPPG, Vietnam’s leading luxury retail group with exclusive distribution rights for more than 100 global brands including Rolex, Cartier and Dolce & Gabbana.

She participates in family philanthropy through the IPPG Community Fund, and in the family business as CEO of IPPG’s luxury development division.

She has a significant online presence, with more than 254,000 Instagram followers.

While her siblings are publicly married or in relationships, Nguyen has largely kept her personal life out of the spotlight until now.
