Fashion, performance, and cultural commentary came together in dramatic fashion as Lé Lee Studio Bridal’s editorial shoot brought New York city to a standstill. Their canvas? The legendary steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Traditional runways, take note! Against the backdrop of one of the most iconic landmarks, Lé Lee Studio’s SS26 Finery Collection took centerstage. No longer just a bridal lookbook, the shoot was a cinematic public statement.
Attention-arresting fashion is a modern bride’s favorite genre, and this editorial did just that. It ran with a fearless vision – security details et al – to produce breathtaking art.
A Couture Moment without a Gala
The Met and fashion walk hand-in-hand, which is what makes this collection launch a spectacle worthy of its location. From the high-drama spectacle of the Met Gala to the timeless exhibitions housed within its hallowed halls, it’s a place where style is revered as art.
Influencers/models Jessie Norbury and Zoe McGrady wore the standout pieces from Lé Lee Studio’s SS26 Finery Collection, owning the museum steps and the streets of New York. Photographer duo Abi and Gon of Luxart Wedding Studio, who brought this vision to life, share, “At Lé Lee Studio, the vision was to showcase the new collection in a way that felt editorial but completely out of the ordinary for a bridal store. They wanted something that blended urban energy with old-money sophistication.
The Lé Lee Studio team—especially Madison, Lyndel, and Sebastien—along with the models Jessy and Zoe and the amazing glam squad, made the entire experience seamless. Everyone brought their own spark—ideas, style, and charisma—so the shoot not only flowed as planned, it also exceeded expectations.”
And exceed expectations it did! The result was more than a photoshoot. It was a reimagining of what bridal couture can look like when it’s taken out of the showroom.

The Met: Fashion's Most Iconic Stage
It’s no coincidence that this shoot took place at the Met. The museum represents an intersection of legacy and innovation. For designers, it is a shrine of inspiration.
