Rumoured to be wed to Marc Mezvinsky on July 31st, Chelsea Clinton has been seen visiting both Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang in recent days which has caused much speculation over her official dress designer. My guess is for the de la Renta corner – considering the understated and almost political beauty of his dresses. Vera is the ultra-nuptial designer, but seems a little too daring for what you will see below, is a very HUGE affair.
