Jennifer Lopez may have married Ben Affleck wearing three different wedding dresses, but her latest movie role called for far more.
In “Shotgun Wedding,” the trailer for which was released Tuesday, J.Lo and Josh Duhamel (who’s also a real-life newlywed) play a bride and groom whose island nuptials take a dramatic turn when the whole party is held hostage.
Israeli designer to the stars Galia Lahav worked with costume designer Mitchell Travers on the custom wedding gown — make that gowns —that Lopez’s character, Darcy, wears in the flick.
“This high-octane action comedy required dozens of copies of the same dress to be made. As the story devolves from a picture-perfect destination wedding into a hilariously chaotic adventure, so does Darcy’s gorgeous wedding gown,” the bridal brand shared in a press release.

“As a result, Galia Lahav meticulously constructed & created 28 dresses in just 1 month using special techniques and fabrics so the gown could be modified, ripped, and transformed into a uniform suitable for a glam action hero.”
What starts as an off-the-shoulder gown with a sweetheart neckline and billowing long sleeves eventually becomes a stained, sleeveless creation with a DIY halter top.
Lahav has designed for a long list of celebrity brides, including Beyoncé and Paris Hilton. Olympian Simone Biles also said yes to two different Lahav dresses for her upcoming nuptials to football player Jonathan Owens.
Still, 28 gowns has to be a record of some sort.
“Shotgun Wedding” will be released on Amazon Prime Video on January 27, 2023.
