Israel’s top model has chosen a leading French fashion house to design her wedding dress — which she debuted on Facebook ahead of her nuptials later this month.

Bar Refaeli in the dress

Anything that has to do with the wedding of the year featuring Bar Refaeli and Adi Ezra gets big media coverage in Israel. Until this week, the big question remaining about the Sept. 24 wedding was: Who is the designer behind the dress?

Future brides take note: Refaeli chose mega designer Claire Waight Keller, the creative director of the French fashion house Chloé.

Refaeli, 30, who recently wore one of the brand’s dresses in Vogue Paris’ celebratory gala, chose to have her dress designed outside Israel.

The Israeli supermodel’s five-year relationship with Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio ended in 2011, dashing fans’ hopes that a wedding was in the offing. Ezra is an Israeli businessman who is 10 years older than his bride. — ynetnews.com
