Poor Irina Shabayeve only had 3 days to complete this fabulous wedding dress. Talk about a trial by fire for any wedding event planner in the area if this was a real wedding with only 3 days left to get a custom wedding dress. This dress was featured on the show “Live with Regis & Kelly” live from the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas during the week of November 23-27. Since then Shavayeva has been getting a flury of calls for custom wedding dresses.

Just when Project Runway winner Irina Shabayeva thought the challenges were over, she got a new one from Regis and Kelly! The New York designer helped the show pay homage to Las Vegas when she designed a stunning wedding gown for Kelly, who never got the chance to wear one when she eloped there with husband Mark Consuelos. The designer took Kelly’s bubbly personality and the over-the-top feeling of Vegas into consideration to design the elaborate gown.
When asked what was next for Irvine she answered: “Big things! I am going to work harder then I did before if that is possible… I am focusing on building a global brand.”
How much would you pay for a gown like this for your wedding? Also, who do you think will replace Regis Philbin? He is 78 and getting hip surgery. I’m sure they will be testing out a few worthy replacements for the rest of the year on his own show.
i do like this gown – it’s very nice, indeed!
Yes it is. If we were only so lucky to be famous to have some famous designer give us apparel like this just because it gives them good publicity!!
