TheOrange Is the New Blackstar toldVogueshe always knew she wanted two dresses and it was important to her to work with two designers that hold a very special place in her heart. Brooks began the day in a custom Christian Siriano design which she unveiled to Gelin during their “first look” reveal before the ceremony.
“We thought it would be best to do a first look reveal so that we could go ahead with bridal party pictures and not hold up our guests after the ceremony. I decided to wear Christian Siriano for the reveal. We have been friends ever since my career first began,” Brooks toldVogueof the three-in-one dress Siriano designed.

“Getting to walk down the aisle with my dad, Dunnel, who just had hip surgery after living with pain for two years, meant the world to me,” she toldVogue.
After wearing Siriano’s designs everywhere from the red carpet to even his own fashion show runway, theProject Runwayalum knew exactly how to create the confection of Brooks' dreams. The result: a lace-adorned princess ballgown that transforms into a bodycon dress and pants look.
