Huma Abedin and Alex Soros are officially married!
The couple said “I do” at the groom’s $14.5 million Southampton estate, with the bride selecting two custom dresses for their wedding weekend with family and friends.
According to Vogue, Abedin and Soros opted for a two-ceremony celebration in the Hamptons — “a small one with family and close friends to sign the Nikah in honor of Abedin’s Muslim faith and the Ketubah in honor of Soros’ Jewish heritage.”
The bride wore Givenchy, designed by Sarah Burton, for the larger celebration, and chose a stunning dress by Erdem, created by Erdem Moralıoğlu, for the smaller gathering.
The off-the-shoulder “Audrey Hepburn-inspired classic Givenchy house look” was fashioned from ivory silk satin-backed crepe, featuring a delicate belt with “a row of covered buttons along the back,” per Vogue.
“I can’t get over how light it is,” Abedin told the outlet during her final fitting, revealing that her and Soros’ initials were secretly hidden in the embroidery on the dress. “I knew I wanted a dress that my husband-to-be would look at and say, ‘She looks extraordinary.’”
Meanwhile, Abedin described her Erdem gown as “ethereal” and “unbelievable,” telling Vogue that she “fell in love with the label” years ago while working in Washington, DC.
“I had to give a very, very stressful testimony on Capitol Hill, and I was very nervous about it,” she recalled. “I wanted to feel and look my best. I remember going into [a] store and finding the most extraordinary black dress with white floral on it. It was Erdem.”
Abedin revealed that in her initial conversations with Moralıoğlu, the designer presented her with a series of sketches for inspiration, including a photo of Grace Kelly’s wedding dress. He also included a sentimental detail in the final design.
“The thing that made me gasp when I saw the dress is that [Moralıoğlu] embroidered my father’s name in Arabic, inside, right by my heart,” Abedin told Vogue. “My father passed away in 1993 and he was a very instrumental person in my life. I think about him every day.”
Moralıoğlu added, “The entire process felt incredibly collaborative and seamless. The dress is everything we had envisioned — graceful, classic, and quietly powerful.”
Page Six previously reported that Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour helped Abedin pick out her wedding looks, as the two are close friends.
In attendance at the billionaire scion and longtime Hillary Clinton aide’s nuptials included the politician herself, as well as husband Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea, James Rothschild and wife Nicky Hilton and more.
Abedin told Vogue that it was actually Hillary who encouraged her to have a full-blown ceremony instead of just eloping, as she and Soros originally had planned.
“She deserves to have that kind of moment,” Hillary gushed to the fashion magazine. “She has a huge group of friends and family and others who share her joy in this new chapter in her life, and I thought it would be a great way to begin their life together.”
Abedin, 48, and Soros, 39, met at a 2023 birthday party that Rothschild threw for Hilton. The billionaire scion proposed in June 2024.
After the Democratic pair went public with their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2024, a former senior Clinton aide told Page Six, “It’s a classic Clinton world couple. Alex is the perfect match for Huma. He’s insanely wealthy and powerful — everything that Huma cares about.”
Another source added, “Huma always wanted to be whatever the American version of royalty is.”
Abedin was previously married to mayor Anthony Weiner. For that ceremony, she wore a custom ivory gown with gold embellishments, custom made by late designer and close friend Oscar de la Renta.
